In the past few years, a number of staffing softwares have exploded onto the scene. With this rapid innovation comes the risk of falling behind competitors. Without the right tools you might find yourself losing out on recruits, wasting time and money on redundant tasks, and exhausting your current staff and customers with inefficient processes.
How do you know if it’s time to upgrade? Here are 5 telltale signs:
1. Your Time-To-Hire Is Longer Than Average
Every industry has a different average based on a number of factors. Do you know yours? And how does your company line up against that average?
A longer time-to-hire frame means increased costs for customers, leading to lower satisfaction.
This window also impacts the quality of hires. Highly sought after employees are less interested in wading through a long screening process and will bring their talents to an agency or company that makes it as easy as possible for them to find the right job.
2. Your Software Is Not User-Friendly
Modern staffing software is increasingly intuitive, reducing training times and user mistakes as they are often built for end users.
If your software is difficult to navigate and you’re getting overwhelmed with technical questions from recruiters, that’s a warning that you’re working with an outdated staffing platform and it’s costing you more than you might know.
3. Your Recruiters Are Bogged Down By Too Many Repetitive and Mundane Tasks
The more time recruiters spend screening resumes, scheduling interviews, and communicating with candidates, the less time they spend engaging top tier hires and processing higher volumes of positions to fill.
Modern staffing software automates a lot of these manual tasks, enabling your recruiters to do their job without the unnecessary headaches and pains common with older platforms.
4. There Are Too Many Channels For Tracking Candidates
One of the most common concerns you’ll hear from recruiting agencies is that for one candidate going through the screening process, you’ll have to refer to emails, meeting notes, and spreadsheets to track their progress and impressions.
With more channels of communication you’ll find more room for error. A frustrating screening process for candidates will burn them out and your recruiters will have to work harder just to track candidate rankings and testing. This doubles as a potential problem in areas where compliance is a concern.
5. Your Current Software Has Trouble Integrating With Current Systems
Credentialing, recruiting, and payroll/finance already have their systems in place. If your current software has trouble integrating with your calendars, SMS systems, emails, etc., you’re dealing with technical hiccups that can halt everyone’s work.
Newer softwares can easily work with the tools you’re already using, reducing training times for staff and letting your company run efficiently without having to reinvent the wheel.
