How Automating Recruiting Can Transform Your Hiring Process

We get it. As a recruiter, your job is more than just finding candidates. You’ve got to give a positive candidate experience and fulfill their expectations with limited resources and bandwidth. That’s why “automating recruiting” has been the talk of the town - basically, do less to get the same or better result.For the sake of our junior recruiters, let’s talk briefly about it. Automating recruiting is where you let artificial intelligence and machine learning evaluate candidates based on their qualifications and characteristics as a good fit for an organization.

Recruitment Automation Platform

Here are some examples of how you can automate the hiring process in different stages and scenarios:

Pre-recruitment

During this crucial stage of the recruitment process, you need to lay down all of your groundwork to have a successful talent acquisition. This includes identifying the hiring needs, defining the role, and preparing a comprehensive job description. At the end of this stage, you should have a strong candidate pool for the next recruitment stage.

Manatal

This cloud-based platform helps you to source and hire candidates faster with AI-powered features, integrations, and customization. You can immediately and efficiently post job ads to any job boards both free and premium using a singular platform. No more opening multiple tabs and log in to each of them individually. With AI at its core, you’re able to match candidates to jobs based on applicants’ skills, experience, and fit, and rank them accordingly. Another part of the recruitment process that you can automate is importing candidates’ resumes into their profiles. The software will then parse the information for relevant skills for relevant skillsets, roles, experience, and more.

You can also use the LinkedIn Chrome extension to import candidate profiles from their LinkedIn profile directly into Manatal with just one click! This feature parses candidates’ public information like name, contact details, location, education, and work experience, and attaches them to the candidate profiles in the ATS.

During Recruitment

In this phase, you would screen candidates’ resumes, communicate with them, and schedule interviews. It’s the stage where you identify your ideal candidate for a role based on their skills, experience, and fit with the company culture.

HireVue

‍

If you’re hiring remotely, this platform is for you as it offers video interviewing, assessments, AI automation, and more for every stage of your recruitment process. You’re able to screen candidates faster and more efficiently with on-demand and live video interviews which you can integrate with your current ATS. For example, Hilton, a global hospitality company, used HireVue’s video interviewing platform to interview several candidates at once without requiring recruiters’ presence and reduce its time-to-fill from 42 days to just five.

Onboarding

This critical phase of the hiring process is where you help successful candidates to integrate into the company smoothly. You would create their profiles, introduce them to the team, explain company policies, and set up their workspaces.

Papersign

With this tool, you can simplify the process, further making the whole hiring process even faster, easier, and importantly, secure. Generally, you can create, design, send, track, and prefil documents on a single platform. It also equips with robust security measures which include encryption and audit trails along with technical requirements of various eSignature legislations. For instance, when you have selected a candidate, you can send the offer letter via the platform that has prefilled the candidate’s information. From there you can monitor its status thus allowing you to save time and reduce manual effort.

Offboarding

This final phase of an employee lifecycle involves the process of de-provisioning departing employees of company resources, conducting exit interviews, and ensuring a smooth handoff. When you manage the offboarding process well, it can give you valuable insights for improving retention strategies, maintaining positive relationships with employees, and ensuring a smooth transition for both parties.

Zluri

This powerful tool provides your organization with a secure offboarding process by instantly revoking departing employee access to all devices, apps, and systems. Ultimately, you can avoid any unauthorized access to sensitive data and at the same time, back up and transfer their data to a new owner, ensuring no potential data is lost.

Conclusion

In conclusion, automating recruiting is when you use technology with AI and ML at its core to simplify your hiring process. There are various tools available in the market that you can use in every recruitment stage. You have ATS to streamline your pre-recruitment tasks with features powered by AI, enhancing candidate sourcing and resume parsing. If you’re hiring remotely, you can use a platform that allows you to do video interviews and when you’ve found a suitable candidate, you can use a single platform to create the offer letter with e-signature and able to track its status. At the end of the employee lifecycle, there’s a platform where you can instantly revoke their access to resources and safeguard sensitive data through proper backup and transfer procedures.
