Automating the Talent Acquisition Process
Automating the talent acquisition process simply equals a more streamlined and effective hiring process. Talent acquisition can often sit with a number of business departments including recruitment, HR and finance which can cause delays and create an overall slow moving process. There will also be a number daily administrative tasks that also come along with the process which can often burden employees – yet many of these tasks can and should be automated.
This is particularly relevant as organisations attempt to keep up with the pressures of the everchanging digital world, Gartner notes 71% of recruiting organisations recruit for more specialised roles compared to five years ago, driving up time to fill and draining recruiting team capacity.
Some of the key benefits of automating the talent acquisition process are:
- Increased efficiency and better timescales
- Reduction of manual tasks for employees, allowing for more focus on higher value tasks
- Decreased risk, the scope for human error is removed with automated processing
