In fact, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/grid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bullhorn\u2019s Recruitment Industry Trends Report<\/a>, referrals from previously placed candidates and candidates from the existing database were the two most popular sourcing strategies.<\/p>\n<p>So the candidate database you\u2019ve spent many hours and money building up is a potential goldmine.\u00a0 But, mining it is not always easy &#8211; especially if you\u2019ve let it get dirty and disorganised.\u00a0 The following tips are designed to help you think about ways to improve the quality of your candidate database so you can turn it into a competitive advantage for you and your agency:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Develop a process among your recruiters for screening candidate resumes and bucketing them in your system<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This applies to candidates that apply to your posted jobs and candidates that you pull into your ATS through third-party tools (aggregators and boards).\u00a0 Use your screened category as a filter when searching for quality candidates going forward.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Add skills to your candidates instead of relying solely on keywords<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For many jobs, specific skills (e.g., Java, C++, Ruby) are core requirements, so make it easier for you and your team to find these candidates down the road.\u00a0 By doing this, you\u2019ll also reduce your dependency on complex or boolean searches and you\u2019ll avoid those rare candidates who know how to game the system by stuffing keywords into their resume (sometimes invisibly!).\u00a0 If you tackle tips #1 and #2 alone, think how easy it will be to search for your next level 3 software developer that can code in C++ and has already been screened by a recruiter on your team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/resources\/25-tips-on-how-to-manage-your-candidate-database\/?LS=Website&LSD=Blog_AU&LA=Manage_Candidate_Database_Guide_AU&LAD=Manage_Candidate_Database_Guide_AU&utm_source=blog&utm_medium=website\" class=\"btn btn-orange btn-lg\">Get 25 Tips to Manage Your Candidate Database<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Establish a process for managing duplicates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you add a new candidate to your applicant tracking system, your software should have the functionality built in to alert you about any possible dupes, either through email matches, first and last name connections, etc..\u00a0 If your recruiters let those dupes flow freely into your system without merging records or purging any duplicate or outdated record(s), your database is going to get messy.\u00a0 This could cost you time and money down the line when you need to fill a highly competitive job order for a key client.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Monitor your team\u2019s activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Establish criteria for how you expect your recruiters to vet new records entering the database and set volume or percentage goals for candidate screening, categorising and cleansing. Even more, report out on the percentage or volume of candidates that have been properly screened\/categorised\/tagged and draw comparisons across your team.\u00a0 Set a baseline and continually increase your expectations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Hire someone to clean your existing database<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once in a while, your house gets to the point where you can\u2019t even fathom starting a cleanup process.\u00a0 If your database has gotten away from you, think about hiring outside help &#8211; an intern, a low-cost FTE, an outsourced freelancer and put them to work on organising and tagging your records.\u00a0 Please view this as an ongoing effort, though, and not a one-time project.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Investigate third-party tools that will help you structure incoming data<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Various technologies that integrate into applicant tracking systems can help you parse resumes into pre-existing or customised taxonomies (e.g., skills, industries, professions, qualifications, languages, etc.) making searching easier and more efficient.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Want actionable tips you can use to maintain and grow your candidate database?
