Recruitment hacking: don't lose a day a week to admin

A Cornerstone OnDemand European focus group of 53 in-house recruiters found that almost two hours each day were spent on administrative tasks. The hours add up to a whole work day each week – a statistic not to be taken lightly.

It’s no surprise then that in-house recruiters would like to spend more time doing these results-based tasks by incorporating more ‘recruitment hacking’ techniques. Recruitment hacking is the concept of using technology, shortcuts and new ideas to automate tasks, eradicate low-value activities, and focus on activities that help them find and hire the right talent.
