Building meaningful relationships – Candidate Relationship Management with Reach ATS.
The recruitment landscape is a fiercely competitive one. Attracting and retaining top talent is about so much more than casting a wide net. It requires recruiters to foster, and nurture genuine connections.
It might seem odd for a company that sells automation software to be talking about making recruitment more personal, but Reach is all about putting the human back into HR – for your team, and for your candidates.
Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) systems are the best way to automate your recruitment, they help you recruit efficiently at scale and free up your team to focus on what they do best, building those all-important relationships.
Here’s how using a CRM like Reach ATS can help:
How does Reach ATS’ Candidate Management System Streamline the Process of Nurturing Candidate Relationships?
Filling vacancies or cultivating relationships, there’s a big difference between the two. One might tick the boxes when it comes to your hiring statistics, the other will do that AND boost your retention figures, saving you money further down the line.
Traditional recruitment often involves a candidate sending in an application then facing a long wait to hear if they are being offered an interview. This period of radio silence is when candidates often drop off the radar, find other opportunities or simply lose interest.
A CRM system automates your routine recruitment tasks such as:
• Sending acknowledgement emails
• Reminding candidates to complete applications
• Enabling self-serve interview slots
Automation also means your communications are consistent and timely, so your candidates are kept interested and engaged.
And if your candidate isn’t the right fit for the role, a CRM can streamline that process too:
• Use of disqualifier or ‘killer’ questions to save everyone time
• Polite automated response to those not fitting role criteria
• Option for them to register as part of a talent pool should an appropriate role become available.
All of which helps save your team time and your candidate too. No one wants to spend time filling out (or shortlisting) applications that don’t fit your essential role criteria. This also serves to protect your brand reputation and leave applicants with the ‘feel good factor’ that they were dealt with fairly and professionally. It’s a win-win.
