International MD Peter Linas considers the acceleration of recruitment processes and the need for recruiters to outpace their competitors.<\/em><\/p>\n

Recruiters are often the first to know when an economy is in recovery; they notice that jobs start trickling, then flooding in, indicating that businesses are investing again after years of austerity.<\/p>\n

During the economic crisis several years ago the recruitment industry went through a significant stage of evolution. Social media, smartphones, and the cloud were still recent innovations, but since then advances in technology and a frenzy of adoption, combined with fierce competition in recruitment during tough times, means recruiters have spawned new recruitment tactics that take advantage of the connected, data-driven, online world in which we now live.<\/p>\n

Recruitment processes have sped up, not only because of recruiting technology, but also because competition has created an atmosphere where the most strategic and data-driven agencies are those that secure top talent for their clients. There\u2019s an unprecedented focus on real-time KPIs like number of placements, hit rate, and time-to-fill. Business intelligence that turns reams of data into invaluable insights has transformed agencies into well-oiled machines.<\/p>\n

This dynamic, where processes and technology create high-quality actionable data that can be used to inform strategy and drive improvements to recruitment technique and tactics is becoming the new standard in the industry. Unkempt Excel spreadsheets have long been used by recruiters as an alternative to custom-made software, but Excel\u2019s days are now well and truly numbered (no pun intended). S Release has helped our beta testers make up to 43 per cent more placements and conduct searches 60 per cent faster than before \u2013 and we don\u2019t think there\u2019s an agency out there that doesn\u2019t want to see these increases in performance and be able to make more placements quicker.<\/p>\n

One development still taking shape that\u2019s likely to set recruitment tech hearts racing is the shift to mobile recruitment<\/a>. If you don\u2019t believe me, a Google head honcho recently predicted that mobile traffic would soon exceed its desktop equivalent. Candidates pour so much time and information online through their phones and mobile devices that it\u2019s clearly the next big unknown in recruitment and one we\u2019re leaping into with both feet. We\u2019re already using apps and responsive software to some extent, but we predict this going even further as candidates and recruiters alike become more heavily dependent on their devices.\u00a0 At Bullhorn, much of what we\u2019re doing is spending time and energy in innovation to stay ahead of the mobile curve and finding ways to bring high-speed recruitment processes to a mobile environment.<\/p>\n

Not keeping pace with advancements in technology is a huge risk for any business. This is compounded in recruitment more than any other sector because agencies that source candidates from their\u00a0recruitment CRM<\/a>\u00a0whenever and wherever they need to, faster than the competition, will make more money. Every opportunity to streamline, speed up, and standardize agency processes must be grasped, and technology is the key to this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
