Talent Management | Positively impact your recruitment success and candidate engagement

Choosing the right recruitment software can positively impact your recruitment success. In this insight, we share some areas for thought when evaluating Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), Recruitment CRM, or Talent Management Platforms to select the most appropriate solution.

Here are some areas for thought from a candidate’s perspective

A candidate portal is an opportunity to build a positive brand and candidate experience. There is the option to provide candidates with more reasons to engage with you if using a candidate portal to add employee stories, what it’s like to work for you, employee benefits, link with social media pages and the opportunity to sign up for job alerts.

Not all ATS vendors provide a candidate portal that can enhance the experience, making it less transactional. It is crucial to have a secure location where candidates can self-serve and apply, monitor and manage their applications, and update data preferences to stay GDPR compliant. In addition, a dedicated candidate portal builds brand engagement to help convert your prospects to candidates and eliminates a reactive approach to keeping candidates informed.

Another point to consider is how easy it is for a candidate to apply for a role. Enabling automatic extraction of all key information into the candidate’s profile, with no re-keying required, will improve converting visitors to candidates.
