Why StaffCV Recruitment Software - what are the benefits?
Total Control
The StaffCV software gives
the employer total control over their recruitment process. They
control the information provided about their organization on the job
seeker web sites, and create their own customized on-line
application forms.
The employer is in total control of 'what' job
seeker information is captured and 'how' this information is
captured through the question and answer options the the employer
makes available on their application form. This enables the employer
to ensure the information they collect is only the information they
require, and in the format they need it in.
The employer has full control over the employment
process, the specific steps candidates must progress through, and
every piece of correspondence they receive.
Managing the Masses
Because job seekers enter their CV information and
complete the employer's on-line application forms onto a web site,
huge filing cabinets needed to hold paper CV's and application forms
become obsolete and unnecessary. Also, because job seekers make all
updates on-line, the difficult task of managing a constant flow of
updates becomes a thing of the past. The time-consuming task of
storing and maintaining CV's is no longer an employer's
problem.
The Initial Screening
The StaffCV Employer
software also allows an employer to create a powerful filtering
system to do the initial candidate screening. Using this system they
can prioritize and rank any piece of information given by a Job
Seeker, according to their specific position requirements. By doing
this the employer can create a minimum entry criteria that all job
seekers must meet.
Any job seeker not meeting this minimum criteria can
be set so they are not be able to apply to the employer. The web
site automatically informs the job seeker if they do not meet the
minimum requirements, and they can then view what the employer's
minimum entry criteria is. This process of pre-qualification means
the employer only has applications on file from candidates that meet
the minimum needs.
Finding Great Candidates
When the employer has a job vacancy they simply
create and run a detailed search specific to the requirements of the
available position. The system searches through the thousands of job
seekers that have 'proactively' applied to the employer on the web
site, and returns only the best candidates. The system will never
return candidates that do not meet the employer's minimum entry
criteria for that job, and will only return the best 'X' number of
candidates as defined by the employer's own measurement
standard.
Communication & the Personal
Touch
The system allows the employer
to communicate directly with job seekers either one-on-one, or as a
group. Personalized response templates can be created and
automatically sent by the system as candidates move through the
employer's recruitment process. The employer can choose to
communicate via email or they can generate mail merge letters.
Although the employers are now managing applicants
in a totally automated manner, they are still able to give personal
responses and individual attention to the Job Seeker. They do not
lose the 'personal touch.' In fact, StaffCV
helps to improve it. Often, when using traditional recruitment
practices there is simply not enough time to send a reply to each
and every candidate. With StaffCV, however, they
can, because the system does it automatically.
StaffCV Saves Money and Time
One of the greatest benefits of using the
StaffCV system is that
it saves the employer time and a considerable amount of money.
Virgin Blue Airlines has stated they think StaffCV will save them
in excess of $120,000.00 per budgeted period. These savings are made
in many areas, for example:
-
Operational expenses such as advertising costs,
the printing of application forms, postal costs, and the cost of
phone calls to candidates and third party expenses such as agency,
head hunter, consultant and placement fees.
A huge amount of time is saved using the
StaffCV system through
the automation of all the manual time consuming procedures involved
with traditional methods of recruiting. The following tasks can now
be done at the touch of a button leaving key staff free to focus on
more important responsibilities:
-
Send out application forms; open, sort, reply and
file received application forms/CVs; carry out the initial
screening of application forms/CVs; keep files current with
updates sent by job seekers; track candidates through the
recruitment process, record and file interview notes, record each
candidates history through the recruitment process; send
correspondence to candidates.
Intangible Benefits
The StaffCV system also provides a great many
intangible benefits.
One of these is the improvement of staff morale. The
system enables employers to use their time and resources to the best
possible effect. As a result, staff will be less stressed and more
efficient. Other benefits include:
-
An improvement in the quality of candidate
information received.
-
An improvement in the quality of candidates
interviewed as the system ensures employers only view the 'best'
candidates based on the employers own definition of what 'best'
may be.
-
The ability to be proactive about recruitment
process as the reporting functions can be used to identify areas
where improvement is required or can be made.
-
Candidates will have a favorable impression of
your recruitment process and your organization.
