Implementation Specialist, Lisa Hellene, says:

“The best time-saving benefit of automating your hiring process is the ability to automatically schedule interviews. With a hiring system in place, you can send out one email, with several available times slots that fit YOUR schedule, and simply wait for the applicant to select a time that works best for them. 

This eliminates the need to play phone tag or send several emails back and forth before an acceptable interview day and time is agreed upon.  Plus you can use this feature on an individual basis or use it to set up group interviews if you want to meet with several candidates at once.”  

Sales Representative, Bill Wilson, says:

“The biggest time-saver when it comes to automating the hiring process has to be automatic reference checks.  Hiring managers can spend hours each week making calls to references (and typically getting voicemails), but once you start requesting references electronically, you can start saving a lot of time. 

Instead of wasting effort on the phone, you can come into work each morning and have an inbox full of completed reference checks waiting for you.  It’s also easier on the applicant’s references as well, since they don’t have to waste time on the phone and can give their candid feedback using a private website.  This really simplifies the entire process.”

Community Manager, Jessica Palmeri, says:

“One simple way that an automated hiring process can save you time and effort is through automated email follow ups. While it’s always important to keep that personal touch in the hiring process, if you have dozens of applicants for every open position, it can be a struggle to keep a consistently positive candidate experience for each applicant in your hiring funnel.

For example, sending out a simple note to a candidate that informs them that they’ve made it through the first round of review and are still in the running for the position is a great way to build a positive rapport. However, without an automated system in place, keeping candidates continuously informed becomes a time-consuming task that often falls to the wayside for more important projects.”

National Account Executive, Jamie Monahan, says: 

"The best time-saving benefit is automating the interview process. Control your interviews and stop chasing your applicants. Sticky notes on the desk with applicants names, interview times and dates seems so outdated. If you send out one email with all of your available times, you will cut down on phone & email tag and streamline the process of communicating with candidates. Automating this process will let you focus on other areas of your business and save you time & money in the long run."
