How is technology changing the face of hiring?

It helps in overcoming many challenges in the hiring process. This ATS reduces the time to hire and cost to hire. Also it improves the quality of hire. It makes it easy to search of the database of the candidates to schedule the interviews.

Gone are the days of C Vs on paper. Many today prefer online CV or even video CV.  Job seekers are posting their skills and achievements attractively on the social media, making for themselves a personal brand name. They are able to project themselves effectively.

Technology helps you move around with your filing cabinets

Initially technology had to keep up with the heavy load of work done by the recruiters. But now technology is advanced to the extent that it seems impossible to manage all this work without it. Cloud services help the employers to be connected with the information of the candidates wherever they are. They can search and decide on the go. Technology got rid of huge filing cabinets. Cloud services are able to store and organize.

These services also aid the recruiting managers to keep track of both temporary and permanent workers, allowing them to plan and organize without human error.  These software programs and cloud services are giving the recruiters more time to evaluate the work.

Technology provides you essential recruiting tools

There was a time when recruiters had to have psychological skills to assess the knowledge and abilities of the candidate. But now there are a variety of tools that can do such an assessment quickly and efficiently.

Additionally, technology has eliminated the need for the candidate to travel long distances for a face-to-face interview. Catering to the needs and interests of the generation Z, technology is making online interviews possible. This has proved to be the most cost effective way of handling an interview.
