Unfortunately to err is human. Whether you are the forgiving type is not really the point. What is important is if that mistake will cost your company money or not. Computers on the other hand do not make mistakes. Hiring the wrong person can be expensive. Using recruitment software may be a wise choice.
Recruiting is an area where errors can cost time and money. It is tedious work to keep track of applicant details. It can be daunting to search through a stack of resumes for the right person. Using computer software to do the work for you can benefit you greatly. Buying the best program you can afford will prove to be worth the investment. Another option is doing it online.
Our world is one of fast changes. At present the job market has a lot of applicants and few opportunities. All firms want workers who know what they are doing in order to help the company grow. To achieve this, they need the position to be filled by the most suitable person. To get the edge on the opposition and secure the ideal candidate, a little help is welcome. That help is available in the form of the computer.
It is a well known fact that many businesses have already started hiring the digital way. It has proved its worth. Hiring on computer is becoming the way of the future.
Today many businesses all over the world have kiosks where a person can sit down and apply for a job. These applications are as good or better that the ones on paper. It has the added advantage that you know your applicant at least knows how to use a computer.
Instead of having to thumb through a stack of paper, you can search on the computer. If you need to find someone with a particular skill just run a computer search. If you use a recruitment program online, you can view candidates that possess the skills you need. This saves time, and ensures you don't accidentally lose the ideal person in a paper stack.
Recruiting programs on the web can do more than help you select someone to hire. It can also evaluate the skills available in your business. By assessing any skill sets that may be lacking, a business can strive to strengthen those weaknesses.
This type of program can be very useful in big companies in the sense that resumes are kept in a company database. When a position becomes available, the ideal candidate may already be there. Companies who are still clinging to the way appointments were made in the twentieth century, may find it is time to move on to recruitment software or lose out.

To paraphrase Forrest Gump: “Candidates are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
ReplyDeleteWith screening software the assumption is that the candidate is telling the truth and has also not resorted to some of those sneaky techniques to trick the software. Self-assessment, like self-selection, is always a risky proposition.
It is a complex adaptive systems (CAS) world out there. When a deterministic application becomes the standard, bright people adapt and subvert it. Or, if not subvert it, at least abuse it.
The recruiter is not merely a gatekeeper. He or she is a highly talented consultant that blends both art and science in what is a very complex undertaking. My opinion is highly subjective, but I believe their insight, and yes, perhaps their instinct, is preferred to a sophisticated listing algorithm.
