Large-scale recruiting firms have long known the benefits of utilizing a recruitment CRM\u00a0in order to manage a large influx of job seekers, monitor recruiters\u2019 interaction with applicants, and maintain a vibrant and robust pipeline of vetted, qualified candidates.\u00a0 In Bullhorn\u2019s North American Staffing and Recruiting Trends Report<\/a>, 89% of respondents consider recruiting technology such as recruitment CRMs to be important or very important to their firms\u2019 success for 2014.\u00a0 However, recruiting start-ups and smaller firms hesitate when deciding to adopt a recruitment CRM<\/a>.\u00a0 Usability, customization, and ROI are all concerns when you\u2019re considering a\u00a0recruitment CRM\u00a0for your recruiting firm.\u00a0 So why is the right CRM\u00a0so important (regardless of the size of your company) and how can smaller recruiting firms benefit?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Increased Efficiency and Productivity<\/strong> – Within a smaller staffing firm, manpower is at a premium, and reducing the time-to-fill is invaluable.\u00a0 The right CRM\u00a0provides features such as resume parsing, email integration, and task generation.\u00a0 By delivering a fully-automated system and eliminating the need for time-consuming data entry, recruiters spend less time on data entry and more time filling open positions.<\/li>\n
  2. Improved candidate experience<\/strong> \u2013 Much has been said within the industry about how fostering a positive applicant experience can lead to a higher caliber of candidate, but how can a smaller staffing firm establish that presence?\u00a0 The best\u00a0recruitment CRMs\u00a0provide an easy-to-use platform for both the recruiter and the candidate.\u00a0 Friendly front-end usability eliminates road blocks between you and your candidates and improves the overall image of your employment brand.<\/li>\n
  3. Competitive advantage<\/strong> \u2013 What is the differentiating factor between successful recruiting firms and those who fail?\u00a0 Effective and profitable recruiters have a pipeline of qualified candidates ready to fill a position at a moment\u2019s notice.\u00a0 A\u00a0recruitment CRM<\/a>\u00a0goes beyond merely tracking an applicant through the hiring process and allows a recruiter to manage relationships with qualified individuals in order to build bench strength.\u00a0 Quicker and easier communications ensure a stellar candidate hears from you first.<\/li>\n
  4. Scalability for the future<\/strong> \u2013 Those who invest in a\u00a0recruitment CRM\u00a0benefit from a system that is built with the future in mind.\u00a0 When choosing the right recruitment CRM, you should focus on not only ensuring the system works for you in-the-moment, but also on ensuring that it\u2019s flexible enough to accommodate unforeseen necessities down the road.\u00a0 Customization and smooth integration offer a built-in insurance so that whatever successes and growth you experience, your recruitment CRM\u00a0adapts to meet your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
