Digitalization in recruiting

Digitalization in recruiting

In order to find the right employees, companies are getting creative: In addition to job portals such as LinkedIn and XING, recruiters are also using other social and professional networks and platforms to make contacts. But recruiting is undergoing a transformation:

Specialists and executives are increasingly being requested at short notice, catchment areas are expanding, and companies expect quick results.

If you want to deliver quality, you need to replace old and time-consuming searches with processes that save time and money.

Securing competitive advantage through smart technology

Digitization is spreading far and wide and has received a further push forward as a result of the Covid-19 crisis: Now is the right time to invest in new technologies and align your own company in a modern and competitive way. Processes that otherwise took up a lot of resources can free up capacity through automation that can be put to good use elsewhere. Particularly in recruiting, it takes a lot of time to communicate with companies and candidates and to compare requirements and application documents. With digital support that is adapted to the special needs of a personnel consultancy, service providers not only make themselves more attractive to their customers, but also show potential employees that they are keeping up with the times and see themselves as a modern company.

Relief for employees through software

There is no need to worry that jobs will be lost as a result of new technologies. Personal contact between HR staff and companies or applicants continues to play an important role, as it is only through interpersonal relationships that a network can be built and maintained. Automated processes naturally make certain workflows easier for employees, but in the end it is always a matter of sensitivity when searching for the right match: An HR consultancy makes its decisions based on many years of experience and industry know-how. It then uses numerous individual factors to determine whether a potential collaboration is likely to be successful.#

Taking stock of processes

If a company wants to simplify certain processes and automate them, an analysis of existing structures is helpful. This provides a precise picture of how current approaches and workflows look and in which areas software can be used to support them. The following questions will help to get an overview:

  • Which processes take up a particularly large amount of time?
  • Which processes are time-consuming but important for the recruiting process?
  • Do some factors slow down the processes and if so, how can they be resolved?
  • Are there processes that are repeated over and over again?
  • At which points can system breaks be avoided?
  • Through which interfaces does the information converge and how can it be controlled as centrally and simply as possible?
  • Are there processes that can be eliminated?

Only when you are clear about what your own processes look like can you filter out the processes that are suitable for digitization. An analysis offers a good opportunity to reflect on one’s own actions, rethink old structures if necessary, and provide a breath of fresh air in the company.

Software tools for better results

Digitization does not happen overnight, but means a step-by-step approach. The focus is on the needs of the company, and the choice of technology should be based on these needs - this is the only way to achieve optimal interaction and ensure the best results. For example, if you want to operate all the office tools you need from one place, you can rely on smart Customer Relationship Management (CRM): communication processes become transparent and comprehensible, and the entire organization of an HR consultancy can be brought together via a CRM, which can greatly simplify day-to-day work. In times of Covid-19, where remote work and mobile work determine everyday life, digital tools that can be accessed regardless of location and time are a meaningful and forward-looking enrichment and shape the “New Work” model.
