Many departments within small and medium businesses (SMBs) have adopted technology to gain efficiencies. To save time. To become more productive. To increase profits.
However, one area of a company that often lags in technology adoption is recruiting and hiring.
Which is both ironic and unfortunate.
It is ironic because human resources and their hiring activities were early adopters of technology within the SMB world. The HR world was online when clouds only related to weather and they have been posting openings on internet job boards going back to the 1990s.
More than a decade ago, hiring officials knew they could use technology to help attract applicants. Yet, today many are still using the same methods. Receiving emails with resumes attached isn’t cutting edge (or efficient) any longer. It's now merely just the beginning of a cumbersome and manual process.
This is also unfortunate because there is a new breed of technology that can dramatically increase the probability of finding the right hire. Simply posting to a job board isn’t enough.
There is now a solution that attracts, and more importantly, highlights, best-fit applicants. The needle can now be pulled from the haystack without hours and hours of wasted time.
So we urge you, human resources, take back the lead in technology adoption!
There is a better way to hire.
