What Makes the Recruitment Process Effective

?The first step towards building an organization’s human capital is recruitment.

The recruitment process aims to a) Hire the best candidates and b) Reduce the time it takes to hire with a minimal budget.

It includes all the steps which are essential to attracting selecting and hiring new employees. A refined selection process enables an organisation to find qualified candidates quickly and efficiently which then ensures a pleasant experience for both the recruitment team and the candidates.

An effective recruitment and selection process needs to be executed with care and dedication.

Both internal hiring and external hiring have different recruitment processes and depend largely on what size company you own and what your industry is.

One Key Element Which Results in a Systematic Affair is: Automation.

Applicant tracking systems enable recruitment teams to manage various stages in the recruitment process. They save a significant amount of time and energy from completing repetitive tasks, and instead direct their energy towards nurturing relationships with potential hires.

The cost of not automating results leads to 41% less productivity, 35% higher costs, and 17% poor candidate experience.

A recent topic of discussion is “Is HR ready for the AI Revolution? A study by peopleHum revealed that AI can greatly enhance talent acquisition and retention by 91%.
