Description

• Recruiters are the ones who are on the task
  of bringing the best employees on-board. Carrying
  recruitment is not an easy task, and when
  candidates are rejected or do not turn up for
  interview process, they are pushed back to the
  wall and are expected to start from scratch. They
  are not the ones to be blamed for that, but
  sometimes management start to question their
  productivity at work. Here is our guide to how
  recruiters can achieve productivity in 5 simple
  ways.

1. Stay away from Emails

• For recruiters, applicants get through via email
  most of the times, and recruiters need to stay
  current on whats going on. Specially in
  recruitment, recruiters have to check each resume
  received, download them one by one and update the
  details. With so many applications, reading each
  email is the most time taking activity.
• An easy way to increase your productivity would
  be to avoid receiving profiles in emails. Use an
  online tool that can do your job of collecting
  the resume, so that you can utilise your time in
  other activities too.

2. Make the first note of the morning

• A better way to make the day productive is to
  make small notes, every morning, as to what
  recruiters are targeting to complete on this day.
  This will help them to focus their efforts in
  completing these tasks on priority. Make a note
  on the recruitment activity recruiters are
  expected to do, like how many profiles to source,
  how many to forward to client, how many
  interviews to be scheduled and how to commence
  these activities.
• So at the end of the day, when recruiters review
  their day, they have a comparison on what was the
  target set and what achieved finally.

3. Give importance to Social Networking

• Social media offers various platforms for various
  types of users. Office goers often tag it as a
  time wasting medium. Social networking can be a
  worthless activity, if you are doing what you are
  not supposed to during office hours. Social site
  like LinkedIn is the most crucial platform for
  recruiters to connect with as many professionals
  as possible and advertise more about their
  company culture/upcoming openings and other
  updates.
• This is the most influencing way for recruiters
  to make the prospective candidates apply for the
  jobs, appear for the interview and finally join
  the company.

4. Always be aware of free-ways

• When in a hurry, recruiters should be able to
  reach the most easily available resource to get
  the job done. And these are the free ways of
  sourcing the profiles. Always be prepared with a
  list of free job sites available in the market,
  as you dont have to wait for management approval
  to go ahead.
• Another best way to receive profiles for free, is
  to display these jobs on your company website.
  Candidates usually surf the company website
  first, if jobs are updated they can apply
  accordingly.

5. Multitasking will take you no where

• Recruiters are usually prone to be a victim
  of carrying multi-tasking at office. But it is
  actually harming their productivity, making them
  less attentive. In long run this could be the
  biggest hinderance to career growth as well. It
  is advisable to focus on one task at a time, when
  it matters the most, and then see the results.
  Not only this work will come out as your were
  expecting, also you can focus better on the next
  upcoming task.
• The best productivity hack available in the
  market for recruiters is an online candidate
  tracking software, that is specially designed to
  automate the hiring process and save time on
  manual work. Through this recruitment management
  system, recruiters can avoid receiving resumes in
  emails and track applicants online. Be updated
  with daily reports of work done and make notes
  for what to be done on the day. It is also
  helpful in posting jobs to leading job sites as
  well as social media platforms at one-click. This
  platform also allows you to integrate your
  company website with career page widget to
  display jobs automatically on the website.
