How to recruit faster?
Maybe it’s better to start with why you should take care to recruit quickly and efficiently?
Reason 1 – Top candidates are off the market in 10 days
Reason 2 – Fast recruitment process = cheaper process
Reason 3 – Unfilled vacancy needs to be filled with the work of others
Therefore, as soon as the need for new hands to work arises – you need to act!
Here are my recommended 5 tools to make quick recruitment a reality:
STAFFLY
Staffly provides recruitment psychometric tests to speed up the candidate selection process by 85% (that’s what their supplier guarantees!), reduce turnover of lower and mid-level employees, and provide automatic feedback to candidates.
This can be bundled with the ATS system so that selected tests will be sent to candidates automatically when they are placed in a selected stage of the process.
And the result will be recorded on his profile:
With such information, recruitment and especially preselection is much faster and simpler!
ChatGPT4
Artificial intelligence can be used in multiple ways in HR, including AI support for writing engaging job posts.
Here is an example from TRAFFIT (you can test this option on a free trial):
All you need to do is provide the artificial intelligence with the basic information about the vacancy – preferably along with the requirements received from the Hiring Manager, and then choose a tone of voice.
Ideally, it should be in line with the communication inside your company.
It’s also a good idea to give AI a broader context, such as more information about your company, team, or daily challenges.
AI will do a great job with all this information.
Scheduler
In the last year, recruitment teams spent about 42% of their time setting up interviews, up 5% from the previous year.
It is estimated that recruiters can take between 30 minutes and 2 hours to schedule a single interview, with 60% of them reporting difficulty in setting a date that suits all involved (source)
This is why Scheduler is the next recruitment tool on my list:
Just indicate your availability (slots) and link to your calendar to exclude occupied on-going appointments and voila – send candidates. You can also use an external tool such as Calendly.
Candidates will love it, and you’ll save a lot of time!
KODA.AI
This is another great example of how AI is helping to speed up ongoing recruitment.
KODA.AI is developing an adaptable operating system for multiple communication processes, based on which chatbots and voicebots are created. What application does this have in recruitment?
It can make finding an offer in the ATS easier or redirect a candidate to a page to submit an application form. Ba! It is also possible to integrate it with a calendar, and thus schedule a recruitment interview by a bot!
Sourcing plugin
You post a job offer on social and your Careers page. You wait for the runoff of applications. And what in the meantime?
In the meantime, it’s worth sourcing to reach up to 80% of passive candidates – that is, people who are not actively looking for a job, but are open to change (if they are the ones to find it themselves).
This is where the sourcing plugin for the Chrome browser can come in handy:
It allows you to add talents sourced on LinkedIn, but also on Behance or StackOverflow, to the ATS and assign them to specific open recruitment projects.
Or simply drop them into a database with assigned notes or tags.
If you combine these 5 tools together or combine them with TRAFFIT – you can also add “fast recruitment” to the list of benefits in your job description 😉
