This slows the whole process down, often involves hours of manually pairing fields and ensuring applicant information is pulling across correctly from one system to another. As a result, you have no single source of truth and waste money on systems that don\u2019t speak to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you want is a relay race. With each recruitment tool seamlessly transferring information to another system to push applicants through the recruitment process with as little intervention or manual work by recruiters as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the difference between automating a single step in the recruitment process and then having a hard stop, versus automating the entire candidate journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are even tools, like smartAI<\/a>, that keep candidates in your talent pool warm once they have applied with you. It\u2019s an example of an integration with your database that automates the process of reaching out to each one of your applicants on a regular basis, enabling the automatic updating of each applicant\u2019s availability, CVs and COVID-19 vaccination status, so that you can continue reaching out to them for other job roles too (or at least have clarity that they are no longer job hunting).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great example of this is the JobAdder and smartAI integration<\/a> and how it sits within a larger candidate data flow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The chatbot, in turn, is integrated with a self-scheduling interview tool, Calendly, and an onboarding platform, initiating the interaction with both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The onboarded platform is integrated with an automated referencing tool, as well as our Health assessment platform and a time and attendance tool. And just to keep everything on track, post-employment, the chatbot can monitor various expiry dates on items such as visas and licences to ensure we maintain full compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This empowers recruiters significantly. The first time they need to engage with a candidate would be during an interview. Imagine the value of automating the entire pre-interview process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For one blue-collar multi-branch recruitment agency over a six-month period, this resulted in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key takeaway here is that automating your recruitment is only half the battle if you haven\u2019t made sure your recruitment tools speak to each other through integrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Without it, you won\u2019t experience the same benefits and your recruiters will spend time populating fields and pulling .csv files from one system to another. It\u2019s messy, time-consuming and could impact data integrity. Not to mention the impact it has on candidate experience.
