With the advent of modern cloud-based software, it is easier than even ever to subscribe to an enterprise-class candidate management system at an affordable price.
If you have issues managing your candidates, resumes, notes, communication, and schedules, you should seriously consider a candidate management system. Read our other article on why using a recruitment tracking spreadsheet is a thing of the past.
If you have more than 50 resumes on your hard disk, you seriously need a candidate management system. Making good hiring decisions can happen only when you have all the information in one place.
If your recruitment data is spread across spreadsheets, emails, and documents, it is hard to remember all the information when making hiring decisions. Sometimes, you may want to analyze your hiring decisions even after the hire. By looking at your past data, you can make better hiring decisions in the future.
Recruiteze is the perfect simple small business candidate management system that is cloud-based and available as a subscription. With Recruiteze, you can manage your careers page, jobs, candidates, communication, and notes in one place.
Consider the case where you have one recruiter using their email to communicate, schedule, and hire a candidate. When the recruiter leaves the company, all that information is lost. When a new recruiter joins the organization, they will have to start all over again. You cannot have a standard operating hiring process if it is spread across different individuals, email accounts, and spreadsheets.
This is where a candidate management system can streamline your processes.
