Recruiting Opportunities during Recession

The economic turbulence has hit the recruitment industry very badly and it is growing worse day by day. Recently, the unemployment rate in the U.S. has reached the 25-year high of 8.1%. Over the past 12 months, millions of jobs have been lost and the job loses still continues.

Although the current situation is of great concern to the recruiting fraternity, there is still a huge opportunity. The recession has resulted in a large number of resume postings in the internet, job boards, social networking sites, blogs, etc. It is now very important for the recruiters to identify the growth areas and build a resume database so that they can cash in on the opportunity when the economy bounces back.

Now, the key for success is to act fast. You need to quickly screen and process resumes from a large resume pool. Manually processing each and every resume is tedious and it takes a lot of your time. This is where an automation tool like ResumeGrabber can become handy.

ResumeGrabber automates resume data entry and screening. It imports resumes from the Internet, email and PC folders, and allows you to quickly screen them using keywords. It then exports the resumes directly to ATSs, CRMs and Contact Managers.

ResumeGrabber not only streamlines your resume screening process but also helps you save a lot of time that you can utilize in other key areas.
