Modern technology goes hand in hand with talent acquisition. Today’s technology can be used to parse resumes, vet applicants, and ensure unbiased hiring. It speeds up hiring processes so your team can return to full efficiency quickly.
But which talent acquisition technology is right for your company? You must consider various factors including features, integration, and cost. Here are some guidelines to think about.
What Talent Acquisition Tools are Available?
Common talent acquisition tools include:
Applicant Tracking Systems: An applicant tracking system allows you to post to major job boards with just a few clicks. You can use it to review candidates and share feedback with your teams. Its features allow you to hire from anywhere, build customizable offer letters, and assess your hiring process.
Candidate Relationship Management (CRM): A CRM helps you identify the best candidates for open roles, engage them, and maintain a relationship with them. It simplifies the hiring process and improves the candidate experience.
Artificial Intelligence Tools: AI can be implemented in various aspects of the hiring process. It can source candidates, screen resumes, answer questions through chatbot assistance, assess skills, and provide predictive analytics on which candidate is best for your company.
Recruiting Automation: Recruiting automation handles repetitive tasks like candidate sourcing, resume screening, and interview scheduling. It also offers one-way video interviews and sends texts and automated emails to applicants regarding the hiring process.
Video Interview Software: Video interview software is any software used to interview applicants virtually. Some software is specifically made for hiring and provides evaluation tools, interview guides, and automated candidate routing.
Onboarding Solutions: Technology can also be used to onboard candidates ensuring they are prepared for their new role and feel welcome at the company. It can handle documentation collection, feedback gathering, and training and provides collaborative tools to enable communication with management. This technology can increase retention rates early in the hiring process.
What to Look for in Talent Acquisition Technology
Here are some features to consider when choosing talent acquisition technology for your organization:
Features: Identify the tools that are best for your company based on the capabilities and individual features.
Integration: Ensure new technology integrates with your existing systems to produce a seamless process.
ROI: Every piece of technology is an investment, but it should save you money in the long run. Consider the cost of each system (initial and ongoing) and how much it will save you in the hiring process to ensure it’s producing a return.
Security: The technology you use should keep private information secure.
User Friendly: Choose an intuitive user-friendly system to avoid the need to train employees on new technology.
Scalability: Ensure your new technology can scale with your organization’s hiring needs.
