Many of us suspect that we could be doing a better job at recruiting the next phase of talent for the company.
But how can you tell if your recruitment strategy is broken?
Well, here are the eight biggest signs that your current Recruitment Strategy probably isn’t working that well:
- You struggle to fill roles
- You do not attract enough good quality applicants to all of your jobs
- You spend too long working on each campaign
- More than 50% of your time spent on recruitment involves the unsuitable applicants that have applied
- You lose applicants during the recruitment process
- Your hiring life-cycle is longer than 21 days
- You hire more than 10% of your staff via recruitment agencies
- Your average cost per hire is more than £500
If any of these items relate to your own recruitment, it could this be down to your Recruitment Management System? Or lack of one!
Over 80% of UK businesses stated that they either did not have a Recruitment Management system at all, or that their current Recruitment System (usually a plug in to an ATS, CRM or an HR System) was not delivering acceptable results in the key areas of talent attraction.
That is because most ATS/HR/CRM systems are not designed specifically with talent attraction at the forefront of their delivery or with the effective recruitment of new talent in mind.
A modern cloud-based Recruitment Management System should offer you all of the following:
