We've had a lot of feedback from both our clients and network of contacts, about what's been missing from recruitment solutions and we decided it was time to take a look at what's next for e-Recuritment. We've spent a lot of time thinking about how to create the best e-Recruitment solution available. By incorporating all the features and functionality that systems users have requested, we've created something that will evolve e-Recruitment to the next level. You asked, we listened, we researched, and we've created a solution that makes it easier than ever to align values, source passive candidates and harvest big data. Consider the below scenarios and ask yourself if any of it rings true?

 

e-Recruitment and the Big Data Minefield

Recruitment is very much a big data process. Multitudes of information from multiple channels means a very tedious and time consuming process if you don’t have the most up to date tools and solutions to work for you. In today’s online world, the recruitment process requires the capture and analysis of CV information, survey and questionnaire information, social media information, job board information and other data sources too. The ability to analyse and assess data in order to make a timely and accurate decision on it, is a crucial part of the more advanced stage of a successful attraction and retention strategy. If you are unable to quickly search and harvest information in a targeted way that suits the needs of your organisation, your ability to make well informed and well executed choices is very limited. Not only that, your competitors will likely make a job offer to the best talent before you do. 

Outdated HR Model, No Automation, No Integration Nightmare

Imagine this, you are an HR Professional with no automated Core-HR or e-Recruitment software. You’re struggling with processing applicants because your systems are inadequate. Perhaps you’re still working off multiple spreadsheets of data and reading through each and every CV you receive in order to assess the suitability of applicants. You spend days each month, sifting through CVs and sending out e-mails to applicants, informing them that they are successful or unsuccessful, scheduling interviews and chasing employment contracts. It is a time-consuming and labour intensive process.

The Automated, Integrated and Innovative Way Forward

Add to that, the fact that your biggest competitor is using technology to find talent; they tap into passive candidate pools using social media, they can also assess internal potentials based on specific, tailored big data searches they’ve created themselves. Their brand is enhanced because of the way in which they communicate with their applicants, as well as their ability to quickly and easily build a relationship with candidates at every touch point in the recruitment lifecycle. They can do this because their systems enable them to personalise their interactions and automate a significant amount of their communications. They send alerts to previous applicants to tell them that there are new vacancies for which they are a perfect fit. Their recruitment costs are drastically reduced, and their productivity is enhanced by using evolutionary e-Recruitment and Core-HR technology solutions.

The Path to Mastery

Imagine yourself sitting at management meetings, presenting meaningful reports that illustrate overall HR departmental and recruitment ROI. Your solution allows you to harvest big data about your own employees, current market trends, and passive candidates, thus offering invaluable insight to the Leadership team. In fact, you are so good at analysing your organisation's data and intuiting future needs, that it almost seemes like you have your own crystal ball. Management is happy, and HR is resourced adequately so that you can focus your attention on strategies for attracting, training, engaging, and retaining talent, as well as honing your big data analytics capabilities.

We Feel Your Pain

Are you an HR Professional who still struggles with laborious recruitment administrative processes? Do you require applicants to fill in clunky forms where data doesn't integrate properly from their CV? Are you struggling to keep pace with competition who effectively use social media as a means of sourcing passive talent?

If your answer is yes, it’s likely that both you and your potential employees are experiencing a lot of unnecessary tedium and pain as part of the recruitment process. The lack of automation means it takes far too long for you to find the best candidates. By the time you do, you find out that they have just been offered a position elsewhere. You ask them where they found out about the role and they mention that they were referred by a friend through social media. You are confused because you only use job boards. You estimate that your hiring process is taking two to three times as long as your competitors due to your lack of e-Recruitment and Core-HR solutions. You decide to take this up with your CEO or MD, although when they ask you questions about a business case, you don’t have enough information to prove the strategic and organisational benefits of an HR technology solution.
