Idea #2 - Automate candidate profile management

How does candidate profile management improve hiring?

A study by G2Crowd in 2021 reveals that an average job attracts up to 250 resumes on a normal day. Behind any of those resumes could be the perfect candidate you are looking for and hence it becomes crucial how fast you roll and make the first few moves - in fact, that’s going to leave a lasting impression and set the tone for the rest of the process.

What does automated candidate management look like?

Setup time: 10 minutes (+ an additional one minute for signing up if you are not a Freshteam user already.)
Time saved per week: Up to 25+ hours

What’s the advantage of automating candidate management? 

• Automatically populated, east-to-review profiles
  Freshteam automation software enables candidates to apply via multiple means to your jobs - email, career portal, job boards, social media sites, and so on. The incoming profiles are automatically routed to Freshteam, where the resumes are parsed and the information is populated onto the candidate profiles, which can then be reviewed and shared with the HR team or hiring managers.
   

• Ability to automate redundant emails
  An email acknowledging the receipt of the candidate’s application shows you are professional, serious about the hiring process and that you value your applicants’ time. It sends a message about who you are as an employer and is an important employer brand touchpoint. You may not have the time to respond to every applicant. That’s reasonable! But what about a thoughtful automated first response?
   

• Ability to manage candidates based on city, visa status, experience, etc. Some examples to illustrate,

  • Advance candidates with 7+ years of experience to the interview stage

  • Reject candidates without a working visa

  • Advance all candidates from city X to the written test stage

  • Advance all candidates from LinkedIn directly to the interview stage

Other Smart candidate management features 

Freshteam offers you plenty of other smart candidate management features.

• Snooze candidates while you are waiting on an interviewer’s feedback or if your panel has waitlisted a candidate. This way you don’t leave any candidate hanging.
• Configure a candidate cool-off time, which means a candidate who has been rejected cannot go through your recruitment process for a specific period, for instance, say 6 months. A cool-off time gives your candidates the time needed to upskill while ensuring you are not spending any more resources interviewing them for the next 6 months.
• Apply the response due filter on candidates to see the list of candidates who are waiting for a communication from your end on the next steps. Timely communication differentiates one employer's brand from another. Freshteam simplifies it for you.
