Efficiency is a big deal in recruitment. However, a lot of recruitment processes are severely under-optimized. We can see this in the symptoms of inefficient recruiting.

You need an efficient process for figuring out which candidates don’t meet the baseline requirements for a position. Why? Because many candidates simply won’t.Only around 20% of applicants make it through to the interview stage for any given job. There are all kinds of potential reasons for this, but the most common is that they don’t meet the baseline requirements that they need to do the job you’re hiring for.

Digital recruiting is nothing new, but the tools and techniques that work are constantly evolving. If you aren’t regularly updating your digital recruiting strategy, you’re likely wasting time, money, and resources while missing out on top candidates.

Whether you’re a team of one processing 100 applicants in a month or a team of 20 processing 1,000 applications, high-volume recruiting can be overwhelming. And when things get hectic, processes and tools that work for more moderate hiring volumes may not cut it anymore.

Traditional recruitment typically involves creating a job listing, waiting for applications to roll in, and choosing the best fit. Sure, this method works. But it only lets you target around 30% of the global talent pool—active candidates.

Humans are (in many ways) hardwired for bias—it can be a major challenge in recruiting, social interactions, and everyday life. We all see the world through different lenses, and those lenses lead to real consequences. In many cases, these are harmless. Maybe you prefer coffee to tea or think cats are better than dogs… no big deal.

Attracting candidates is easy. Attracting the right candidates is a whole different ball game. According to Indeed research, almost half (43%) of employers struggle to attract qualified, talented candidates with their job postings.
