Getting Started with Recruitment Automation

Automation is a relatively new development within the field of recruitment and one that has been continually adapted across businesses of various sizes to improve on the effectiveness of hiring processes. When looking to automate the recruitment process, there are a variety of tools and systems available that can help to streamline the process. Getting started with recruitment automation isn’t actually as complex as you might be led to believe and many systems are customised to suit your exact needs. Applicant Tracking Systems are one such example of a recruitment automation solution perfect for use across varying businesses.

Creating a Bespoke ATS

Applicant Tracking Systems are one of the most popular forms of recruitment automation and offer a whole host of benefits that can help to simplify the process. Features such as the scheduling of interviews with applicants as well as segmenting the talent pool are some of the prime reasons people opt for an ATS. While these features are very customisable and suited for a very wide range of industries, you may wish for there to be some changes to the way these work in order to best suit your recruitment process.

Most Applicant Tracking Systems have some sort of recruitment metrics and dashboards capability that shows recruitment activity. Many are static in the way information is presented and captured. At Eploy we work with our clients to customise their ATS and provide access to granular reports and dashboards that you require. It's easy to create and report all of the key activities across every stage of the recruitment process.

Team Training 

One of the most important facets of recruitment automation is its implementation across your business; the last thing you want is to invest in a system only for it to be seldom used by your recruitment team. After having customised your recruitment system, it should now be primed for use and you should look to get your team accustomed to implementing it within their day-to-day work.

Training is key when it comes to Applicant Tracking Systems and provides your team with an understanding of how the features should be used. Not all ATS systems are the same in the user experience, and intuitive nature of use. You should look to provide proper training in order to get those within your business up to speed with the benefits and new ways of working. ATS training is one of the services we provide at Eploy to embed collaborative working - it's a great way to ensure maximum return on your investment.

Use 

Once you’ve done the basic set-up, customisation, testing and provided your team with training on the system, the best way to get started is to simply start using it within your recruitment process; it’ll be no time at all until your team are making full use of automated recruitment systems. And from there on in, regularly review your recruitment metrics and dashboards to see where there are futher automation improvements to be made.
