How To Get The Most Out Of Job Listings Using A Recruitment Management System
Recruiters in South Africa face a difficult task in attracting quality prospects, whether they’re wanting to place people who are new to the job market, want to advance in their field, or want to change careers entirely.
We understand how time-consuming a single vacancy posting can be, and we understand your effort to make the most of each one, especially since good vacancies are hard to come by, harder to fill and often being worked by several of your competitors too.
Placement Partner, together with our clients, are the leaders in digitising the recruiting process in South Africa. And while digitisation undoubtedly increases business revenue and reduces costs – recruitment remains a human interaction role and there are tools to help you engage with applicants every step of the way and still be efficient.
Prospects want a personalised relationship with their recruiter and to know that they are looking out for their best interests, as well as the interests of the hiring businesses who pay the fees. They want to be able to trust the recruiter to match them to a rewarding job. They are suspicious of scams, thus personalised vacancy listing pages help to develop trust, as the first impression is crucial.
So, how can you use the Placement Partner Recruitment Management System to get the most out of job listings?
And, as a recruiter, how can you improve your prospects’ experience and attract favourable candidates?
Here are 10 easy steps to making the most of your vacancy list:
- Complete as much information about the vacancy as you can. Transparency goes a long way when trying to reach high quality candidates.
- Post your job listing directly to tightly integrated leading Job Boards from your Placement Partner Recruitment Management System; where applicants can apply quickly and easily with minimal redirects and distractions.
- Customise your vacancy listing and publish it on social media with two mouse-clicks, without having to duplicate the post on each platform.
- Now watch as applications stream into your Placement Partner Postbox, a central repository for all inbound CV’s, so organised and efficient that you’ll never miss an application.
- Screen your applicants in the Postbox using the tools provided such as instant CV-previewing, keyword searching, read/unread timestamps and recruiter notes to make this otherwise time-consuming task quick and easy.
6. Select those applications which are suitable for the vacancy and move them effortlessly across to your candidate database for further interactions, even more tools like video interviewing, auto-matching, SMSing, automatically generated CV templates and more.
7. Schedule interviews between your candidate and your client using the calendar-invite feature or send Video Interview requests directly from your Placement Partner system and have them recorded under the candidate profile for review and sharing with your client.
8. Auto Match quality candidates using keywords to quickly bring up your matched results and start your screening process without breaking a sweat. No more missed candidates.
