Save time on mundane tasks and appeal to more diverse candidates
Once you’ve dug deep into the data to get a full picture of the candidate landscape before you start recruiting, it’s time to post the job. On average, recruiters and hiring managers spend 20 hours per week just posting jobs. Here’s how to reduce time spent on posting jobs down to 4 hours – and finding better talent in the process. Whether you’re starting from scratch or regularly recruit or hire for one position, are you sure those descriptions are as strong as they can be? CareerBuilder’s AI job description tool pulls from more than 2 billion data points to write the description for you. See a candidate appeal rating, competing jobs, average salary and candidate matches. Plus, the tool will flag wording that could be more gender neutral.
Right now, workers who have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and are looking for any sort of job might end up applying to roles that they aren’t really qualified for. These tools will help more efficiently target candidates to make sure you get the talent you’re looking for, and the worker finds relevant jobs.
Hire more efficiently through automatically matching and communicating with candidates
As candidates start rolling in, you’ll need behind-the-scenes automation to filter, match and communicate with applicants. These tools will help you close the deal and hire quality candidates, as well as build a talent network and pipeline.
