Revolutionizing Recruitment: The Latest Tech Trends

Recruitment is a slow and tedious process. Companies spend a lot of time advertising positions, shortlisting candidates, interviewing them and then collaborating amongst themselves to decide on the best candidate. So what are the technology trends shaping recruitment?

Is technology helping with recruitment?

The pandemic was a catalyst for change in many businesses and recruitment was one of them. Conducting interviews remotely via video became the norm as did video meetings. This simple aspect of moving interviews to video allowed companies and candidates to be flexible in choosing interview times and not be bound by constraints of travelling to a location. Many other tools are available such as CV and cover letter preparation, interview guides and various blogs on websites provide valuable insights on how best prepare for the work environment. Candidates can research prospective employers with ease and can be better prepared on what to expect with respect to company culture and work/life balance.

Companies can post jobs on several platforms and extend their reach and expand the pool of potential candidates. Certain website also provide video CV’s of candidates, which helps shortlisting.

Despite all the different tools and technologies available, the overall workflow of recruiting someone is still disjointed, slow and inefficient. There is no workflow that allows easy and seamless interaction between candidates and companies. Collaboration between company staff is inefficient, many resorting to spreadsheets and emails to communicate candidate lists and interview notes.

What recruitment workflow is ideal?

Recruitment required an integrated approach between job seekers and companies. A workflow that allows companies to post jobs and then follow steps to shortlist, conduct interviews, take interview notes, share notes with colleagues and message candidates directly will allow huge savings in time and cost of recruitment. This type of workflow will ensure quick decision making and allow companies to deploy staff to their positions in a timely manner.

Jobjar offers such a workflow in their new App/ web portal. This workflow has been developed from scratch, recognising the pain points of the recruitment industry.
