With an ever-present talent shortage and changing client expectations, recruiters must sift through hundreds of passive and active candidates to match them to the right roles based on key factors like skills, years of experience, certifications, and more.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, doing this at scale while maintaining quality standards can be challenging. Not only do recruiters need to evaluate candidates based on set requirements, but they also need to ensure a positive candidate experience, a streamlined client experience, and that they are keeping up with administrative tasks.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI-powered tools have emerged as a candidate matching game-changer, automating the candidate search process and helping recruiters identify top talent <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fast<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

While you\u2019re tackling your home, why not extend the same care to your Bullhorn database and head into 2025 ready to take advantage of your clean data? Just like that overstuffed drawer or cluttered cupboard, your CRM can accumulate a lot of mess over time.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s how you can effortlessly tidy up your Bullhorn data!\r\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/data-hygiene-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out the data hygiene guide<\/a>\r\n<h3><strong>Why is cleaning my Bullhorn database important?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nUnderstanding the importance of cleaning your Bullhorn CRM is crucial before diving in. Here are some reasons why it matters:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Tap into revenue opportunities<\/strong>\r\n\r\nInaccurate data leads to wasted time and missed revenue opportunities. When your data is clean and reliable, your team can work more efficiently when searching for suitable candidates. Your clients and candidates will enjoy a better experience and you\u2019ll see improved redeployment and utilisation rates, and increased revenue.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Enable informed decision-making<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAccurate reporting relies on trustworthy data. Cleaning up your database ensures that the insights you get from your reports are based on solid foundations, enabling better decision-making for your company.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Maximise the value of your Bullhorn and optimise your integrations:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe effectiveness of your Bullhorn integrations (for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/products\/vms-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VMS<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/products\/recruitment-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bullhorn Automation<\/a>) hinges on the quality of the underlying data. By cleaning up your database, you set the stage for successful integrations that actually boost your ROI.\r\n<h3><strong>What data should I clean up?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe specific data cleanup needs will vary for each company. However, here are some common areas you can focus on regardless of your size, industry or market:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Duplicate records<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDuplicate records clutter your database and lead to inefficiencies. Identifying and merging duplicates streamlines your operations, improves reporting accuracy, and enhances automation outcomes.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Incomplete candidate records<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEnsure that your candidate records contain essential contact information and CVs\/resumes. Identifying records with missing data or outdated information improves the quality of your searches and enhances candidate engagement efforts.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Standardisation of data<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsistent data formatting is essential: standardize data fields that are used for things like reporting, generative AI, emailing or Bullhorn Automation.\r\n<h3><strong>How can I clean up Bullhorn?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nYou have several options for cleaning up your Bullhorn database:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Manual updates<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTime-consuming, manual updates can be effective if you have the resources available. But this is a really expensive way of doing it! Assigning consultants to clean up the database can also put you at risk of manual error and takes time and effort away from engaging with clients and candidates.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Custom projects<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsider outsourcing a custom data cleanup project to a third party. While this option may involve a higher cost, it can offer quicker results, particularly for one-time cleanup tasks or complex data issues.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Data management tools<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe ultimate solution: invest in a data management tool that integrates seamlessly with Bullhorn. Products like Kyloe DataTools provide cost-effective solutions for ongoing data maintenance, including deduplication, gap identification, and mass data updates to 25+ Bullhorn entities.\r\n<h3><strong>The importance of a strong data foundation<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nA strong data foundation is paramount for success: from streamlining workflows, and maximising candidate redeployment and utilisation rates, to improving decision-making; clean and reliable data forms the backbone of any effective recruitment strategy. Don\u2019t overlook the importance of it when it comes to getting the most out of your Bullhorn investment.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t neglect your Bullhorn database anymore. By understanding the importance of data cleanliness, identifying areas for improvement, and leveraging the right tools and strategies, you can ensure that your CRM is a valuable asset for your recruitment and staffing efforts in 2024 and beyond.\r\n\r\nRemember, the worst thing you can do is nothing\u2014so take action today to unlock the full potential of your Bullhorn database!\r\n\r\nThe best way to get started is to understand the current state of your database.

It was only at the advent of computer science that this concept got its own snappy acronym: <\/span><b>garbage in, garbage out.<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data integrity has become critical to success in today\u2019s binary world, where the sum of your organisational knowledge is represented in zeroes and ones. It allows for smooth operation and allows a recruitment agency to capitalise on automations, freeing team members up to do what they do best.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the reasons for bad data, the dangers of it, and the perks of doing it right? Read on to find out.<\/span>\r\n<h2>Why data integrity matters<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to your database, bigger doesn\u2019t always mean better. Instead of wanting to know how many candidates you have in your database, clients are now asking questions like \u201cHow many candidates have you talked to in the last 90 days?\u201d or \u201cHow many could you reach out to with a job?\u201d And with a disorganised database, you may not have the answers to these questions.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u201cMost recruitment agencies are only engaged with about 10% of their database,\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explains Robert Mann, Director of Sales &amp; Marketing at 3DIQ. \u201cAnd that number tends to go down as the pool of candidates goes up. If I was a business owner, and an agency came to me and said, \u2018We have a candidate pool of 10 million,\u2019 I probably wouldn\u2019t be interested. I\u2019d ask, \u2018How many of those can you get a hold of quickly? How fast can you engage with a good number of those candidates?\u2019 Those are the questions I\u2019d want answered.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recruitment agency unaware of its data position is in a bad data position. The tell-tale signs of bad data may be all too recognisable: recruiters refusing to use the ATS to source candidates, candidates refusing to engage with your agency, and high unsubscribe rates on email, amongst others.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But these are nothing more than symptoms. The challenge of data integrity is to treat the underlying cause.<\/span>\r\n<h2>Identifying data integrity issues<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step to a clean database is to get a sense of where your organisation is.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A basic SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) is a great place to begin. This can help you to understand the data you\u2019re collecting, how you\u2019re collecting it, and what you\u2019re doing with it. It\u2019ll help you uncover the issues and how you might fix them. It\u2019ll also allow you to identify missing and incorrect data \u2013 the garbage in that leads to the garbage out.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea is one of quality over quantity. If you want to realise the full power of your database, you need to remove any candidates that aren\u2019t in your pipeline. By focusing exclusively on those who are, you make your ATS\/CRM much more useful, to the point where recruiters are excited to search your database for talent.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put the spotlight on data intake processes. Think of every avenue by which information enters your database. Do accurate and robust processes apply to each intake? Does your entire team understand the importance of data integrity, and their role in ensuring it? This is a task that takes a village, after all \u2013 the effort can\u2019t be left to one person or team.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data is more than just the information that allows you to do your job. Because it facilitates automation, it can also be an extension of your brand, for better or worse. Think of a candidate name entered in all caps \u2013 data that is then used in an automated email to the recipient. \u201cHi SANDRA,\u201d it begins. The curtain covering your automated email process falls, and your reputation falls with it.<\/span>\r\n<h2>Tips for solving data integrity issues<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you solve the data integrity issues you uncover? Three main solutions go a long way to solving most.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>1. Training and operationalisation<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data integrity begins with the frontline workers tasked with collecting and managing it. For your recruiters, maintaining data integrity has obvious, tangible, and incredibly alluring benefits. Clearly outlining these benefits will incentivise your recruiters to do the right thing.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u201cYou need to create clear and concise processes and communicate them to your team,\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> explains Michelle Bousquet, VP of Organisational Effectiveness at Floyd Lee Locums. \u201cWe run a show, do, review system. We show our workers how to input, maintain, and utilise data, we get them to do it themselves, and then we review their work. We also capture that process to refer to it whenever needed.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u201cPlan your work, work your plan,\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adds Paul Sabatino, Regional Sales Manager, Solutions Consulting at Kyloe Partners. \u201cOld habits die hard, so championing change requires a constant voice. Information breeds confidence; silence breeds fear. <\/span><b>Communicating your data practices early and often is critical.\u201d<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting with the \u201cwhy\u201d is an effective strategy. By communicating to your recruiters that good data entry results in a wealth of manual and mundane tasks being completed automatically, it becomes an easy sell. They\u2019ll eventually realise this allows them to make more placements and work more effectively.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u201cWe had a recruiter who was a 30-year industry veteran. When she started, she was literally thumbing through Rolodexes and stacks of paper resumes,\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says Billy Davis, Enterprise Customer Success - Automation and AI at Bullhorn. \u201cI showed her the importance of data integrity and what would happen if she committed to it. <\/span><b>Within just two weeks, despite being a senior member of the organisation, she became my number one data quality recruiter.\u201d<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruiting is so much easier when quality data backs you up. When your team sees what\u2019s in it for them, you\u2019ll have no trouble encouraging adoption of good data hygiene habits.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>2. Structured data<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data collection demands a game plan. Take a couple of days to map out what you hope to achieve with your data. Form an eagle-eye view of how you want to move a candidate through the entire lifecycle and the steps you\u2019ll need. Set a goal to shoot for, then design all your processes around that goal. All of this will help you determine the information essential to collect.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to start small with your data collection process. At the beginning, ask for no more than six or seven pieces of information \u2013 any more than that, and you risk losing a candidate before you even begin. From that initial touchpoint, continue to build out the profile over time. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/connected-recruiting\/nurture\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nurture the relationship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get those \u201cnice to have\u201d pieces of data that add color to the \u2018must haves\u2019 collected at the beginning.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking a structured approach to data collection helps to build trust. If your first contact in two years is an email asking for an updated resume, a candidate is unlikely to send it. But by keeping in contact over that period, sending out surveys and asking for updates, a candidate will be more open to your advances.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good way to enhance your data collection efforts is to go through your own candidate process. Work to understand the pain points and remove friction wherever possible.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>3. Data hygiene<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collecting structured data is one thing. Keeping it updated is quite another. The better the integrity of the data, the more automation possibilities, so this effort offers incredible rewards.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning your database can seem monumental, so starting with some easy wins is important. Contact information is vital \u2013 there\u2019s no point in having a candidate in your system if you can\u2019t reach them \u2013 so begin by removing records with no phone number or email. Checking and correcting statuses is another simple yet incredibly effective way to improve the health and hygiene of your ATS\/CRM.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several automations that can help you in this effort. Resume parsing tools are a great example, as they allow a candidate to essentially update their own information. You can use automations to remove instances of duplicate entries by copying information automatically from one field to another and to remind people that they forgot to do something through emails, texts, or notes.<\/span>\r\n<h2>Becoming a data integrity success story<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can an agency expect if they were to follow through on all the advice laid out above? Davis offers some real-world examples.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe had an agency that got rid of half a million bad, parsed-in entries that didn\u2019t have any information. They transformed their database from huge and largely useless to a lean one that their recruiters were excited to use.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>\u201cI\u2019ve also seen five- or six-recruiter agencies functioning at higher levels than 100-recruiter agencies, purely based on the automations that quality data facilitates. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can get some really cool and complex stuff happening, but it all comes from a foundation of good data and process.\u201d<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By avoiding GIGO, you\u2019ll enjoy QIQO \u2013 quality in, quality out \u2013 and the endless possibilities such a situation brings.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Sabatino noted, <\/span><b>\u201cData and automation success comes in many shapes and sizes. The worst thing you can do is nothing at all.\u201d<\/b>","post_title":"How to become a data integrity success story","post_excerpt":"Data integrity has become critical to success for recruitment agencies.

So how can you ensure a smooth transformation process to start seeing results faster?\r\n\r\nAt our recent Tech at the Tower event in Sydney, we were joined by implementation experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuuco.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nuuco<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/1218global.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1218 Global<\/a> as well as Nathan Hodges, Divisional CEO of Healthcare &amp; Community at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplein.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PeopleIN<\/a> as they shared their experiences and actionable strategies, plus proven tips for navigating technology implementation.\r\n<h4>Consolidating onto a unified platform<\/h4>\r\nPeopleIN has three core divisions covering the industrial, professional and healthcare and community sectors.\r\n\r\nLed by Hodges, PeopleIN recently went through a project to consolidate and move their healthcare recruitment operations onto a single unified system on the Salesforce platform. Recognising the need to support the business\u2019s continued growth, this project allowed PeopleIN to \u201cstandardise procedure, so we can utilise resources across states\u201d, explained Hodges.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe want to retain a lot of the personal innovation and drive that a lot of our brands hold but we need to ensure we\u2019re optimising efficiencies across the group\u201d, Hodges continued.\r\n\r\nOne of the core benefits since moving on their single unified platform, is optimised efficiencies and reporting capabilities. PeopleIN has been able to be highly focused on its people, both internally and externally. According to Hodges, PeopleIN now has \u201cmore time to invest in our existing workforce in terms of upskilling, communication, candidate care, and other things of that nature. We have a more comprehensive service not just to clients but our recruiters, making sure they feel supported on their journey\u201d.\r\n<h4>Championing change<\/h4>\r\nImplementing any new technology into your recruitment business can be complicated. Successful change management requires deep planning, thoughtful execution and continued refinement.\r\n\r\nBen Barnett, Founder &amp; Lead Advisor at Nuuco encouraged recruitment leaders to clearly define their business objectives, understand the impact to internal people and roles as well as external clients and candidates. He stated, \u201cTechnology is the enabler for the business to change.\u201d but it cannot replace the human element essential to a successful transformation.\r\n\r\nFor PeopleIN, this meant identifying people that are open to change and willing to explore how to advance the company towards its goals. \u201cYou need to champion the people that are drivers of change\u2026people that are going to see the benefit of change, you\u2019ve got to put these people front and centre\u201d, Hodges emphasised.\r\n<h4>Fostering a culture of innovation<\/h4>\r\nOne crucial component of a successful adoption is having comprehensive documentation, which ensures clarity and continuity as the system evolves or as people shift in the business. Deep documentation \u201cimproves success in a project\u201d, said Simon Bishop, Lead Implementation Consultant at 1218.\r\n\r\nHaving great champions of change, detailed documentation and the adoption of Salesforce, a highly customisable and evolving platform, allows PeopleIN to implement its best practices effectively across all their offices. Bishop stated, \u201cSalesforce is an evolving platform, it's great because you can constantly evolve it, improve it and make it more efficient where a lot of other systems you don\u2019t have that opportunity.\u201d\r\n\r\nFurthermore Barnett said, \u201cSalesforce offers a culture of innovation.\u201d and many customers don\u2019t realise the power within the platform. Hodges aptly concluded, \u201csystems improve performance but it doesn\u2019t carry your performance\u201d. Use technology while fostering a culture of innovation among your people to continuously improve so the business can meet its mission.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nInterested in more insights from Tech at the Tower?

Determine your goals<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are you looking to drive more candidate applications? Do you need more job orders? Is your candidate experience once jobs are filled lacking? Before you start building any automations, it\u2019s important to think of the area where automation can make the biggest impact on your business. This part is either obvious to you or you need to get your team together to discuss current gaps.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common goals automation programs help solve include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improving the candidate experience<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Redeploying candidates coming off assignments<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Qualifying new candidates before recruiter follow-up<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reactivating old clients or candidates in your database<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving contacts through your sales pipeline<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don\u2019t need to choose just one goal, but it\u2019s important to narrow your focus before you start building so everyone stays pointed in the right direction. Homing in on your business goals can also help you laser-focus on metrics that signal the greatest ROI once your automations do launch.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>2. Map out your client\/candidate journey<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019ve determined the area(s) you want to focus on, mapping out your client or candidate journey is a great way to spark ideas for where to start with individual automations or touchpoints. Getting team feedback at this step is important\u2014what manual tasks can help free up recruiter time? What efforts do your salespeople want to keep personalised?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have your journeys mapped out, take a look at where there are gaps.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some gaps and ways automation can solve them:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delay in response time from recruiters when candidates apply = automate a thank you email once you receive a new application<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recruiters constantly following up with unqualified candidates = send a survey with an application confirmation that asks qualifying questions<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lack of follow up with prospects after business development process = create a passive touchpoint journey to send new information to top prospects every month<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><strong>3. Review your ATS data<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For automation to work properly, the data in your ATS and CRM needs to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/data-hygiene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">updated and maintained<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You don\u2019t want to send a message asking someone you placed yesterday if they\u2019re looking for work! Before starting any automations, make sure everyone on your team is on the same page with the fields you\u2019ll be using to trigger messages and build audiences. If processes aren\u2019t aligned, you risk your automations not working or hurting the candidate\/client experience with your outreach.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider the following processes before building your automations:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Changing candidate\/client statuses<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding start\/end dates<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding qualifying candidate information<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving clients through different sales stages<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can even use automation to clean up your database if you find that you have large sums of candidate or client data that is outdated or incorrect. Examples of this include archiving records you haven\u2019t updated in the past five years, changing the status of candidates who haven\u2019t been placed recently, or marking bounced contacts as inactive.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>4. Revisit your brand voice<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The purpose of automation is not to replace your teams but to improve their processes to reduce repetitive, manual work. Automation often takes the place of consistent outreach with both candidates and client contacts and if your brand voice isn\u2019t consistent within your touchpoints, it can cause some confusion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you start implementing automation within your organisation, consider your current brand voice and if your teams are aligned with this voice. How do you typically address talent? Is your communication more upbeat and positive or to the point? Ensuring the message you\u2019re conveying in your touchpoints is consistent with your team\u2019s messaging can improve the effectiveness of your automations by maintaining consistent communication across the board.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>5. Educate your team<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would you roll out large changes to your organisation before communicating the purpose and implications with your team? Why would automation be any different? Because automation touches every part of your business from candidate sourcing to sales and even sometimes payroll, it\u2019s important to educate your team through the rollout.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some tactics you can use to communicate with and train your team:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start with a focus group to test automations and get immediate feedback<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assign a champion in each department to help your team see the benefits on their day-to-day<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Document all touchpoints, who they\u2019re sending to, and when they send to use in training<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solicit feedback on performance to gauge whether automation is helping meet your goals<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hold training sessions once a quarter so teams are updated on new automations and features<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Individuals who feel involved in the process are always quicker to adopt, so make sure implementation meetings and brainstorms aren\u2019t exclusive to leadership or marketing teams. Include your teams in every step of the process for more buy-in and better rollout.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>6. Determine what to measure\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re at the final step! Your automations are live and you\u2019re feeling good. Now, how do you prove return on your investment? How do you know everything was worth it? This is where everything comes full circle. Remember those goals you determined at the beginning of this process? Time to revisit them!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When looking at measuring ROI, think about what metrics give you the greatest signal that you\u2019re achieving your goals. Were you looking to automation to improve the candidate experience? Take a look at your NPS since implementation. Wanted to re-engage your existing client base for new business? Check how many job orders came in from existing clients. Tying automation metrics back to your goal is the best way to measure ROI on your investment.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here's some metrics you can pull from automation:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Redeployment rate<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Projection of recruiter time saved<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Client email open\/click rate<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Candidate NPS<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Candidate SMS response rate<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Survey completion rate<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By following these steps, you should be well on your way to leveraging the full capabilities of automation within your business.
