You have more options than ever for the staffing software you use for credentialing, recruiting, and employee management.
Every software is built differently. For example, one software is created for smaller operations and another with most of its tools dedicated to large scale shift management.
So how do you know when you’ve found the right one? We’ve broken that down into 4 important questions you can ask to make sure the software you’re looking into is a solution, not a headache.
1. What will this upgrade do for the candidate’s experience?
Identify pain points in your current candidate experience. If you frequently receive feedback that follow ups were slow or that your process was difficult to navigate, then you have a great starting point for what to look for in an upgrade.
The beginning of the employment process is the candidate’s experience so making sure that you’re providing the best one possible is vital to your company’s growth.
2. Will this software be able to scale with your growth?
Imagine that the software you’ve selected is paying off. Your company is able to grow and you’re processing a greater volume of top tier hires.
Then, you hit a breaking point. The system can’t handle the number of applicants. Candidates get lost in the system and your recruiters are struggling to keep up with the workload.
Worse than stagnation, growing to a point where people recognize you only to then fumble the ball can be a nail in the coffin for your company’s reputation.
So how do we avoid this? Ask about scalability. Make sure that whatever staffing solution you’re interested in can accommodate growth.
3. How does the upgrade impact the recruiting process?
Accessibility and ease of use are not just important for your hirees but for your recruiters as well. Given the tools to provide a better screening process, your recruiters can develop stronger communication with potential hires, attracting higher quality candidates who may be turned off by other companies failing to respect their time.
Having one central platform where your recruiters and HR can access employee referrals, job applicants, and open positions enables recruiters to streamline the process and find the best fit for your employment needs.
4. Can the software integrate with your website and other platforms?
This question alone can save you and your IT team countless wasted hours. It’s essential that any software you consider adopting for your staffing needs can integrate with your existing tools and systems, including emails, calendars, social media, and websites.
An applicant tracking system can have all the bells and whistles but if it doesn’t communicate well with your current infrastructure, you’re going to have candidates fall through.
