How digitalization is driving the recruiting sector
Digitization is benefiting the recruiting industry, as new technologies are finding their way into companies at an accelerated pace due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pointing the way to the digital future. To cope with the ever-increasing volumes of data and information, and to effectively leverage the resulting potential, investments must be made while modernizing outdated structures. Find out here how automation can help to scale better and create more transparency.
Automation simplifies the search for candidates
Recruiting professionals today have access to digitally-enabled, data-driven tools to help them find the right candidates for their clients. Integrating smart systems into everyday life is becoming increasingly important, as more and more data needs to be processed preferably in real time. In order to achieve even more accurate results in recruiting and to optimize processes, applications that have been developed specifically for the recruiting sector are a sensible measure. Many software solutions rely on the support of automations, which can be used in the following areas, among others:
- Automating applicant analysis
A data-driven analysis can automatically analyze incoming applications according to predefined criteria and make a pre-selection, as well as provide initial recommendations. - Chatbots for proactive customer service
Chatbots can be used well in recruiting to answer standard inquiries and guide multi-step application processes. - AI-Match für suitable matches
AI match technology displays matching candidate profiles to companies based on job profiles, significantly reducing the search time.
Better scalability with the right software
When certain tasks and workflows are handled by AI, it frees up capacity that can be used elsewhere. With the right HR software, companies can scale better in this way and plan and deploy their time and resources more efficiently. A good software solution is designed to be independent of the size of a company; what is more important is that it fits the requirements of the industry and supports and relieves employees in their work. This includes an intuitive user interface, a short learning curve and a manageable number of features and functions.
More transparency through more efficient use of data
One focus of digitization is data-based, smart work. This is possible by collecting, processing and then evaluating data. For software, processes such as collection and processing in particular should be among the minimum requirements to make work easier for users. If parts of the data are evaluated automatically, there is additional added value here - but the final evaluation is still carried out by the employee. Recruiting is also based on data-driven business models; after all, the information provided by applicants is used to select who best meets the company’s requirements. Therefore, it is important to know the digital touchpoints and thus the places where companies and recruiting professionals come into contact with potential candidates and to use the potential of the information gained correctly.
Better overview and constant synchronization
By moving processes to the cloud, information is made accessible: at any time and from anywhere. The digitization of processes leads to companies gaining more structure, order and a better overview of their business fields; in addition, the continuous synchronization of data means that information is always kept up to date. This is both time-saving and cost-efficient.
Choosing the right service provider
Which digital tools are needed in the first place, how are processes digitized, and what exactly does the path to the cloud look like? In order not to lose track in the course of digitization and to be able to keep up with the competition, companies can rely on professional service providers who accompany them on the path to modern business processes and provide the appropriate technology.
Conclusion
Anyone who wants to withstand dynamics of the economy is advised to digitize - it’s as simple as that. However, progress, additionally driven by the Covid-19 pandemic, also ensures that companies now have the chance to modernize their own structures and present themselves as desirable employers. Investments in new technologies simultaneously mean better scalability and agility, which in numerical terms has a positive impact on the annual report. That’s precisely why now is a good time to take advantage of cloud computing, automation, AI and the like and position yourself for the future.
