Quality of Hire and Hiring Speed – Can an ATS Help You Achieve Both?

In the new age of work, everything is “new.” From remote hiring, to working from home, to emerging technologies like an ATS. In the past, recruiters would be lucky if they got to either hire candidates fast or make the right hire. Oftentimes, it was quite hard to have both. Especially since they lacked the technology, tools, and resources needed to take their recruitment to the next level. But nowadays, it’s no longer enough for recruiters to just have any ATS. They want to get “more bang for the buck” and leverage an ATS that allows them to have both: quality of hire and hiring speed. The right ATS can easily take you from “good” to “exceptional” at hiring. It can help you streamline every aspect of your recruitment process and crush all your goals and KPIs. Wondering how? We got you covered.

Check out the fundamental ways an ATS allows you to boost hiring speed and quality of hire – simultaneously.

Market your brand with a modern career page

Every company knows that a career page is a chance to lure top talent. Take a look at the big innovative companies in the world. They have stunning career pages, don’t they? Chances are, they’ve recruited the world’s best designers or leveraged complex software to get it up and running. But what if we told you that all they used is one advanced ATS? An innovative ATS allows you to create modern and branded career pages that turn your brand into a talent magnet. And the best part? You don’t even need to write a single line of code, hire a bunch of developers, or break the bank. Therefore, building such an optimized and beautiful career page will have you up and running in minutes – and attracting top talent in seconds! For example, an ATS like EVA-REC allows you to customize your own career page to reflect your brand identity, culture, and employer brand. Where you can showcase your awesome perks and benefits, heartfelt team testimonials, professional corporate videos, and a glimpse into your work environment. In short, it allows you to put all the things that make your organization unique, on one single page. This will entice top talent to apply to your vacancies without even thinking twice.

Build your talent pool in advance

Sometimes, recruiters can be thrown off guard when unexpected vacancies open up. It might be because of an employee’s impromptu departure, or the company is growing at an unprecedented rate. When this happens, recruiters need to dive into the hiring process and kick start the sourcing, filtering, screening, and hiring process from scratch. Which can be debilitating and time-consuming, to say the least. However, an advanced ATS allows you to effortlessly build and cultivate a talent pool in advance. This will ultimately save you valuable time on sourcing and finding qualified candidates. How does it do that? Simply put, when you compile candidates over time, you can easily store their details and information in your ATS. Let’s say 3 candidates caught your eye for a certain position, but only one of them got hired. The other 2 were also qualified, and you know deep inside that they can be a good fit for upcoming vacancies. With an ATS, you can easily build a passive talent pool that you can dip into when the time is right. So whenever you decide to open another vacancy for the same position, you’ve got a great pool of “warm” candidates to resort to. As a result, this will help you boost the quality of hire and hiring speed at the same time.

Automate and centralize hiring workflows

One common fatal flaw most recruiters have in common is focusing too much on filling a vacancy immediately. When the process of hiring top talent is rushed, recruiters tend to make hasty and costly decisions. This often occurs when recruiters don’t have enough time to dedicate to each and every vacancy. They’re swamped with the nitty-gritty work and lost with decentralized workflows. Luckily, an advanced ATS allows recruiters to automate hiring workflows and centralize them in one single place. From one single tab, recruiters can automate pipelines, communication, requisitions, approvals, and workflows. Where you can streamline approvals for job offers, contracts, job requisitions, referrals and rehires – and say goodbye to chasing down approvals from this day on. Plus, you can collaborate with your entire team from one single place to evaluate candidates, discuss pipelines, and solicit feedback in real time. Therefore, an ATS allows you to sail through the recruitment process fast through the power of AI, automation, and cutting-edge technology.

Integrate with advanced video interviewing software

We can all agree that resumes only tell half the story. Is your awesome-on-paper candidate, awesome in reality too? Well, there’s only one way to figure out. Advanced video interviewing software allows you to test, evaluate, and assess the key skills and capabilities of candidates through video assessment interviews. So you can pinpoint top talent at a glance and in a fraction of the time. By integrating video interviewing software with your ATS, you can seamlessly gauge the true potential and fit of candidates – and make the right hires every time. For example, video assessment interviews make your first round of screening 80% and enable you to assess candidates at a time and place that suits you best. Not only does it eliminate geographical barriers, but it also allows you to get deeper insights into the candidate’s personality traits. For example, video interviewing software like EVA-SSESS generate a scientifically-validated psychometric report for each candidate. This report will reveal more about the candidate’s personality, learning and communication style, performance in sales, programming aptitude, and the way they deal with customers. Based on their personality traits, employers can determine if they are a cultural fit, depending on the company’s values and how it operates. As a result, when integrating video interviewing software with your ATS, you can assess candidates faster and make the right talent decisions, every time.
