Even though many of us are busy with the holidays and end-of-year business activities, leaders are already thinking about the new year. A major reason for this is that companies tend to hire more during January and February. Considering the following factors, that makes sense:
The recruiting process, however, can be complicated and time-consuming. It takes a lot of steps to hire a candidate, like sourcing, screening, and scheduling. Thankfully, automation can simplify hiring, saving recruiters and hiring managers time and resources.
You can automate recruiting in a lot of ways. Generally, these methods are used:
This article will cover some of the most common and effective methods.
With a platform like eQuest for centralizing and automating job posting, recruiting teams can:
Recruitment involves many time-consuming tasks, including sourcing candidates. Recruiters spend more than half of their time sourcing candidates.
An applicant tracking system (ATS) searches job boards, social media, and other websites to find potential candidates.
ATSs can also automatically parse resumes and cover letters, extracting key information such as skills, education, and experience. As a result, you can identify qualified candidates more quickly and save time on manual screening.
For every hire that a recruiter makes, they spend 23 hours reading resumes.
With automated resume analysis, recruiting teams can parse and rank resumes closely matching job descriptions.
There’s no denying that AI isn’t quite as intelligent as a recruiter. But it can increase your efficiency by eliminating unqualified resumes, which make up 3 out of 4 applications.
Considering this, once you define its parameters, it will sort your applicants into piles based on criteria such as academic backgrounds and years of work experience.
As a result, you won’t have to spend much time sorting through applicants who don’t fit your ideal profile since you’ll have a list of candidates with the necessary qualifications.
Also available are various automated recruiting tools that employers can use to assess candidates. For instance, many companies hire programmers by automating coding tests in today’s world. Alternatively, you can set up a simple grammar test if you need a writer.
Regardless of how you assess applicants, automation can probably do the same thing with minimal input from you. You can then follow up with these candidates for more personal, in-depth interviews.
As soon as you have identified qualified candidates, you need to get in touch with them. If you’re recruiting for multiple positions, this can be a time-consuming task.
With email marketing software, you can send personalized emails to candidates to automate candidate communication. Additionally, you can use ATS to schedule interviews and send interview invitations.
The next step is to schedule interviews with your top candidates once you have screened your candidates. This step can also be automated.
Several automated scheduling solutions are available for free and for a fee. Here are a few popular options:
Creating and sharing a scheduling link with candidates via these platforms is possible. The candidate can then select a time slot that is convenient for him or her. You and the candidate will automatically receive calendar invitations from the scheduling platform.
By automating interview scheduling, you can eliminate the need to work back and forth with candidates to find an interview time that works for everyone. Additionally, scheduling and confirming interviews electronically can help reduce no-shows.
Besides scheduling interviews, automated processes can also be used to conduct them. Video interviewing platforms, such as HireVue or Talview, are used to do this.
Asynchronous video interviews can be recorded using video interviewing platforms. As a result, candidates can complete the interview at their convenience, and you can review it at your convenience.
Video interviewing can save you time and resources by eliminating the need to schedule and conduct interviews in person. In addition, you can reach a wider pool of candidates, including those in remote locations.
When you’ve chosen the candidate, you must make them an offer. An offer letter can be made once salary and benefits have been negotiated.
By using ATS, you can send offer letters automatically. ATS also allows you to track offers and remind candidates to accept or decline them.
After a candidate accepts your offer, you need to onboard them. For example, there might be paperwork to send, training sessions to schedule, and company resources to access.
Onboarding checklists and tasks can be automatically created with an ATS. In addition, you can use an ATS to track new hires’ onboarding.
An automated recruitment process offers several advantages, including:

The next step is to implement the automation after you have chosen the right tools and technologies.
Integrating your ATS with other systems, such as your CRM or ERP, may be necessary. Also, recruiters may need to be trained on the new tools and technologies.
You should measure and optimize your results as soon as you’ve automated. As a result, your automation investment will be maximized. Various metrics can be tracked, like time saved, cost savings, and quality of hires.
The recruitment process can be streamlined and improved in some ways through automation. The recruitment process can be simplified by automating sourcing, screening, scheduling, and conducting interviews. This helps recruiters and hiring managers focus on more strategic matters.
Plus, automation lets you evaluate every candidate equally.
