Even more, report out on the percentage or volume of candidates that have been properly screened\/categorised\/tagged and draw comparisons across your team.&nbsp; Set a baseline and continually increase your expectations.<\/li>\n<li>Hire someone to clean your existing database.&nbsp; Once in a while, your house gets to the point where you can\u2019t even fathom starting a clean up process.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Please view this as an ongoing effort, though, and not a one-time project.<\/li>\n<li>Investigate third-party tools that will help you structure incoming data.&nbsp; 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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For more recruiting tips and trends, check out the report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/resources\/recruitment-agency-round-up-how-do-you-compare\/https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/products\/applicant-tracking-system\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog_UK_16_12_08\" target=\"_blank\">Recruitment Agency Round-Up: How Do You Compare?<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/resources\/how-does-your-staffing-firm-stack-up-report\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog&amp;LA=CandidateCleanUp&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=website\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20479 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/12\/UK_Benchmark_Twitter_440x220_Nov2016_V1.jpg\" alt=\"uk_benchmark_twitter_440x220_nov2016_v1\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter what time of year it is, if you\u2019re at all like me, you absolutely loathe the idea of cleaning your house or apartment.&nbsp; However, one benefit of cleaning up (or cleaning out) your surroundings is that it frees up time for you to focus on more productive activities.&nbsp; If you get into the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[585],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-tricks-and-how-tos"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is It Time to Clean House? 6 Steps to Better Manage Your Candidate Database - Bullhorn UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In recruiting, your candidate database is a lot like your home - very valuable.
