Expedited time-to-hire
The hiring pipeline can present a challenge to recruiters. Being able to efficiently screen employees is an incredibly important strategy when trying to fill roles quickly. Mistakes that happen due to haste can cost a company thousands of dollars in future turnover costs. Automation offers recruiters a way to decrease time-to-hire without sacrificing applicant quality. Recruiters can automate the pre-screening and verification of resumes for various role-specific keywords, educational backgrounds, certifications, location, and other predetermined qualifiers. Taking the time-intensive administrative element out of the initial screening process means recruiters can focus their energy on the qualified applicant pool, a time when human discretion is more valuable.
Once the essential qualifications have been sorted through, recruiters can use a variety of platforms to conduct pre-employment assessments. These are vital to the core of the hiring process because they test for critical-thinking skills, industry knowledge, and even interpersonal interpersonal and cultural values — all things that don’t necessarily appear on a resume.
Finally, recruiters can leverage automated onboarding platforms to get inbound employees up to speed quickly. Popular platforms let teams complete and store forms digitally, access important company documents, and use a standardized orientation process. The time saved from manual filing documents and catering to compliance issues can be diverted into new hire meetings, mentoring, and other valuable engagement endeavors.
