Automate your resume screening process to quickly select the right candidate

Recruiters and hiring managers' responsibilities include everything from knowing job requirements, writing job ads, sourcing and screening candidates, conducting interviews, selection and induction, training, etc. All these fundamentally affect the productivity and success of the organization.

However, in reality, most recruiters' time and resource is constantly taken up with screening quality candidates - up to 5 hours every eight-hour day.

Today, software solutions are emerging that can provide a practical answer to recruiters. The problem now is how to choose a solution that will be the best fit for their requirements; affordable and flexible too.

What should you look for automated resume screening system?

For Recruiters and Hiring Managers, the questions are largely organizational and more focused on operational matters:

Is the system affordable and within the budget of an organization?
Is the system user-friendly enough for people with different skill levels?
Will it automate mundane tasks such as capturing resumes (from job boards, outlook emails,etc.,), organizing resumes in order to allow them to screen qualifying resumes?
Will it increase productivity?
Will it automatically send email responses to the qualifying candidates?

A quick survey of the marketplace will show that there are not many solutions that address all these issues. Nevertheless ResumeGrabber Pro is one such software that helps recruiters increase recruiting productivity, by automating most of the manual recruiting tasks.

ResumeGrabber Pro automates the extraction of resumes from Search Engines, Job Boards, Outlook Email, Google Desktop and personal PC folders.

It organizes the candidate’s data and displays them in a grid - a simple spreadsheet that has rows and columns to sort quickly and screen the resumes using information such as location, skill sets, job category, years of experience and other keywords.

ResumeGrabber Pro has a built-in search bar to filter the resumes. The recruiters no longer have to open individual resumes as the resume body is displayed in the bottom half of the grid and can be viewed in the "original view" or "snippet view." The snippet view reveals only portion of the resume that contain relevant keywords. The keywords are highlighted making it easy to view and identify relevant experience.

It has a built-in email feature that integrates with the existing email client and allows the recruiters to send emails to hiring managers or fellow recruiters with the resumes of the recommended candidates attached.

It also helps to automatically transfer candidate contact data and resumes instantly into any Database/Contact Managers/ATS. You can eliminate the hassle of routine manual data entry as ResumeGrabber seamlessly integrates with ACT!, Goldmine, Outlook, PC Recruiter, Excel and any ATS that imports CSV format.

By acquiring such a product, organizations will be able to significantly reduce time needed to screen right candidates and lower their recruiting costs.

Recruiters who have been using the product agree that ResumeGrabber Pro is both agile and robust. Its ease of use is a vitally important feature for any resume screening system. The recruiters and hiring managers are satisfied that they have chosen the best tool that offers a good return on their investment, both time and money.
