Recruitment agencies are frequently telling us that one of their critical challenges is reducing vacancy time-to-fill especially when facing stiff competition.
You know the drill; you receive a vacancy, but you know it’s been shared with multiple agencies and if you are the first to match and present the right candidate the commission is yours. You also know you could be working on the vacancy for hours only to be pipped to the post at the last second and then have nothing to show for your work.
If only you had recruitment software that actually helps you source candidates and fill jobs faster!
Many recruitment agency software solutions, or recruitment CRMs, promise to automate your processes and allow you to fill vacancies faster. You might already be working with one of them and still be experience any number of the following problems:
- The email with the vacancy you receive heads to an inbox and sits there until a recruiter does something with it.
- It’s up to your team take the vacancy details, log them, share the vacancy, write adverts, and reach out to potential candidates.
- Best case is that you have recruitment software that will help you match and contact candidates once you input the vacancy details.
- Worst case is that many potential candidate resumes are also via email and often stay there, even if you have a recruitment CRM.
So why the problem? If you don’t already have recruitment software or some kind of automation to your processes, then you are certainly dealing with needing to wade through emails and files of CVs or candidate applications. Or, you have a recruitment CRM that’s outdated, inefficient or its capabilities haven’t been correctly tuned to your business needs.
