For many open roles out there, it’s a candidate’s market. Especially in highly skilled, in-demand roles, quality employees often have their pick of places to work. This makes the role of the recruiter even more vital. Recruiters are often the business’s first impression. They’re the first to introduce many potential clients to your company culture and help them understand why it’s a good place to work. But the recruiting process is not always easy for candidates to follow.
Recruiters — along with some of the latest technology — can help smooth that process out and make it a better, more efficient experience for the applicants, as well as hiring managers so your new hires can go from open position to onboarded and working at full capacity as quickly as possible. The world of recruiting is shifting, but with a little work, you can stay up-to-date on the latest recruiting trends.
Candidate relationship management and applicant tracking, which is often managed using human resources management systems (HRMS), along with digital interviewing platforms are radically altering the role of recruiters because many formerly manual processes are being automated. HRMS improves the employee experience — and in terms of recruiting it can help with resume management, scheduling interviews and tracking the process for candidate, recruiter and hiring manager. By using HRMS tools to save time at the earliest stages of the process, recruiters can ease one of the points that introduces the most friction in the candidate experience – the length of the recruiting process itself.
As the world is shaped by ever-changing world-wide events, businesses are finding ways to adapt. And HR is changing how work is done. From hiring someone virtually to expanding how you view your potential labor-pool, recruitment is shifting at lightning speed. One of the most effective tools to help you keep up with changing pressures, as well as access the latest machine learning, reporting and other features, is with HCM software. Working as a recruiter is challenging work, but Glassdoor’s annual best jobs survey ranking corporate recruiters as No. 1 comes as no surprise — it is immensely rewarding work. Keeping up with the latest recruitment trends will help you perform your job even better.
