• Time is money in any business. The more time it
  takes to fill a position the greater the impact
  on an organizations bottom line. Consider that
  the average time it takes a U.S. employer to fill
  a job vacancy is 25 working days.
• The longer a job remains vacant, the more
  difficult it becomes to fill the positionif a
  job hasnt been filled within the first month
  there is a 57 chance it will remain open for
  three months or more, according to a report by
  Indeed.com.
• Lets look at some things recruiters can do to
  streamline the recruiting process.

Manually entering candidate data into a system is
time consuming and costly. There is simply no
reason to enter data manually with the variety of
tools and software available today. Parsing
software that extracts and stores crucial data
from candidate resumes, such as contact
information, can dramatically reduce data entry
time.

• Archaic systems that require candidates spend
  hours manually retyping or copy/pasting their
  resume and filling out page after page of
  information just to submit an application are old
  news. Make the application process as simple as
  possible, and remember, the best way to find
  great candidates is through pre-employment
  screenings (via phone interviews, for example)
  and through reference checks.

• The person best suited for the job youre looking
  to fill may already exist in-house.
• Hiring from within increases the likelihood that
  youll get the right candidate into the position
  youre filling, since you already know the person
  and can easily evaluate their performance in
  their current role. Hiring in-house candidates
  also boosts morale, as it sends the message that
  youre paying attention to the talents and
  abilities of your team members.

• Instituting a referral program that incentivizes
  your employees to refer qualified candidates is
  an excellent way to find great new talent.
• It also has the bonus of boosting employee
  morale, as it sends the message that you trust
  your employees judgment.
• Your employees wont mind the extra cash, either.

7

• Theres no way around itchecking references and
  performing background checks are time-consuming.
  But they are absolutely necessary.
• Even if a prospective employees current and
  former employers provide little information aside
  from dates of employment and job titles, you want
  all the information you can get to make an
  informed decision.
• Most importantly, past transgressions that
  surface after an employee has been hired can come
  back to haunt you legally.

• Technology has changed the game for recruiters,
  helping to streamline the process. Recruiting
  software is an excellent tool that helps
  recruiters and hiring managers
• Collect resumes from email attachments
• Gather applications from all sources in one place
• Upload resumes in bulk
• Parse contact info from resumes
• Detect duplicate candidates automatically

9

• One of the most inexpensive ways to attract great
  candidates is through your website. Your website
  should clearly outline your companys vision,
  mission, values, goals, and products/services.
  Ideally, it will also contain an employment
  section that describes open positions and
  outlines why prospective candidates should want
  to work with your company.
