recruitment system

Well, recruitment system as the name suggests is a system or a software which can automate the recruitment process of an enterprise :)

Recruitment systems are meant to take care of the challenges and hassles that an organization faces while carrying out the whole process manually or with minimal computer intervention. Some of these challenges could be:

• Creating an effective campaign for promoting the recruitment program and gathering resumes from interested applicants
• Maintaining a database of candidates who have applied for the job position.
• Collaborating with the recruitment team and sharing the resumes with them to figure out the right candidate.
• Filtering the resumes and mapping them with the job description / requirement.

This is just a brief!!! The actual challenge is much bigger and complex.

A recruitment system, also referred to as recruitment management software, typically comprises of two basic modules: Resume Screening module and Applicant Tracking module. Both these modules form the core ingredient of a recruitment system.

Resume Screening module caters to filtering resumes based on job description and other parameters set by recruiter. In most cases a resume management software scans through a candidates resume and filters out the fields like experience summary, competency profile, personal details etic... and maps it to the requirement set by recruiters.

Applicant Tracking module on the other hand takes care of building a repository of present and past applicants and their job information. This become a asset for the organization in the long run and helps recruiters maintain a talent pool of prospective candidates. This repository can be accessed easily and mapped to future requirements, thus saving time and money for the business.

With the evolution of cloud computing, recruiters are open to an option to choose resume management software that are offered on Software As A Service (SAAS) model. The SAAS model makes the recruitment solutions more flexible and easy to roll out.

SaaS based recruitment software are enabled with flexibility, connectivity and security to successfully promote job vacancies, sift candidates and arrange interview timetables. These applications are simple process to access, cost effective to use and adaptable to meet different aspects of recruitment process.
