Digging out from the pile
August 15, 2011
Do you know the difference between an avalanche and a pile of resumes? A recruiter can dig herself out of an avalanche...
While a shaky economy is partly to blame for the flood of resumes recruiters receive for every position, technology is at fault, too. Multiple job sites funnel multiple candidates for the same jobs over and over again, and email blasts featuring positions that job sites believe would be of interest to subscribing jobseekers only exacerbate the problem. Throw in the fact that more than ever, people are applying for jobs for which they are not qualified, and one might believe recruiters don’t stand a chance against the sea of CVs that washes up on their desks.
With companies cutting costs and skimping on resources to assist in sifting through resumes, it comes as no surprise that more businesses are using technology in the hope of making their recruiting more efficient and productive. Recruiters are now incorporating more prescreening tools for online applications, resulting in reductions of resumes that normally would’ve made it through by an estimated 25 to 60%. However, it begs the question: Are these prescreening tools keeping out unqualified applicants at the expense of well-qualified candidates who should have made it in?
JobSync was designed to make matches for jobseekers, not screen them out. And by using its proprietary technology to find candidates who are a good fit for a position, JobSync makes life easier for recruiters as well.
Sometimes it takes a sea of change to end a sea of CVs – are you ready to take the plunge?
