Elevate your Hiring Process with the Poetry Workspace

Poetry is the world's most useful talent acquisition technology. Bold statement? We don’t think so. Recruiters are spending 511 minutes per day undertaking tasks that Poetry can automate. Our research with The Talent Labs proves this, find out more from our Recruiter Time and Motion Insight Report here.

This is the reason Poetry’s Recruiter Workspace was created. We understand that hiring managers and recruiters need to have the proper tools and processes in place as it greatly affects the quality of hires, the candidate experience, and ultimately, the success of an organisation.

Poetry’s Co-Founder, Adam Gordon spoke with Michael, from Equitas, a company dedicated to solving interview bias. He shared insights on enabling recruiters and hiring managers by simplifying and streamlining assessment processes. You can watch this in more detail on our YouTube channel, Recruiter Enablement.

In this version of Well-Versed in Recruiter Enablement, we are discussing how to simplify assessments and elevate your hiring process by using the world's most useful talent acquisition technology, Poetry.

1. Simplifying the Assessment Process

A simplified recruitment process is essential for efficiency and clarity. The focus should be on two primary aspects: the abilities required for the job and the candidate's future potential. Rather than getting trapped in complex terminology like behaviours, competencies, or values, the process can be broken down into four essential categories: Attraction, Pre-Hire Assessments, Interview Assessments and Post-Interview Processes.

The Poetry workspace offers several solutions which help hiring managers and talent acquisition professionals prepare for their upcoming hiring and assessment process. Poetry offers solutions in research, job description and advert creation, skill-based hiring, req management and assessment introductions.

Poetry offers a structured approach which not only simplifies the recruitment process but also ensures that all involved parties—recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates—are clear on what to expect at each stage.

2. Empowering Recruiters and Hiring Managers

One of the biggest challenges in recruitment is enabling recruiters and hiring managers to perform effectively. The key lies in providing tools and processes that are simple and easy to access.

With Poetry, we radically simplify talent acquisition by bringing content management and creation together with over 28 solutions that users need to complete their tasks more productively every day. Your recruitment marketing and operations teams will have central control over templates and libraries and our asset calculator will keep you informed on the monetary value of your workspace.

Recruiters refer to ‘too many tools’ as a source of stress and constantly creating content as a burden. As a recruiter enablement workspace, Poetry’s purpose is to both save you time by reducing ‘toggle tax’ and increase your productivity.

3.Addressing Challenges with Hiring Managers

Hiring managers often struggle with conducting structured interviews due to a lack of experience or training. Implementing structured interview questions and frameworks can help standardise the process and improve the quality of hires.

The Hiring Manager Enablement solution within the Poetry workspace is designed to enhance this process. It provides a dedicated space to store templates and set guidelines for effective communication and collaboration between recruiters and hiring managers. This solution streamlines the recruitment process, ensuring clarity in expectations and smooth coordination.

Recruiters can use this solution to provide updates, gather feedback, and efficiently coordinate the recruitment process. By fostering a productive partnership with hiring managers, this support enables more effective and consistent interviews, ultimately leading to better hiring outcomes.

4. Enhancing Candidate Experience through Poetry

The candidate experience is a critical aspect of recruitment that can significantly impact an organisation's reputation. Providing candidates with detailed feedback, even if they are not selected, enhances their experience and positively influences employer branding.

This feedback loop not only benefits the candidates but also builds support and can lead to better re-engagement with past candidates.

But you’re wondering how you can enhance your candidate experience by using Poetry? Well, the workspace offers solutions in Candidate Offer, Candidate Interview and Candidate Enablement. Use Poetry to store create templates which ensure a respectful rejection process, and exciting acceptance offers. Create detailed profiles that guide your team in targeting ideal candidates and improving messaging and outreach through our content creation tools.

5. Streamlining the Process for Efficiency

Efficiency in the hiring process is crucial to prevent decision paralysis and ensure consistency.

With Poetry, recruiters save 64 minutes daily on marketing tasks. From swift access to essential solutions to streamlined workflows via our recruiter desktop, we empower your teams to accomplish like never before.

A streamlined approach with a manageable number of defined interview questions can prevent overwhelm and allow for quicker, more informed decision-making. Additionally, leveraging data and feedback can improve long-term hiring outcomes.

As we mentioned at the start of this article, reducing bias in hiring is a challenging task, but with the right tools and processes, it is possible to make significant strides toward fairness.

Recruiter enablement relies on simplifying and structuring the assessment process while enhancing the candidate experience through consistent feedback.
