Rely on Research

There are many things we do not understand about hiring. However, our inability to predict the future does not mean we cannot learn as much as possible about the present. The only way to do that is to: 1) conduct our own research, or 2) read research conducted by other people. We may not like to believe research results because they interfere with personal opinion, but research is the only way to know for sure which recruiting and hiring tools work best. A hiring manager might be 100% convinced of his or her opinion, but that is not the same as being 100% correct about the candidate.

Google as recruiting tool

 Source: eGrabber   The reason behind using Google as a recruiting tool is simple: experienced professionals appear frequently in its searches due to their normal professional activities. As a result, top professionals have higher Google scores (a Google score is a numerical calculation that counts the number of times that a reference to an individual appears online). A high score for an individual indicates that a person is more active in his or her field, and thus more desirable. A high Google score can be as a result of a variety of things a candidate has done, including Talks they gave, Articles they authored or are cited in, Awards and patents they received , Magazine and newspaper article mentions, etc. Even if their activities didn't originally appear on the Internet, these days everything of any significance is eventually cited somewhere on the web. It might surprise you that most professionals with more than 10 years of experience have their own "Google score."

Automate key recruiting processes and increase hiring efficiency

With skill shortage always on the higher side, the war for talent is much fiercer than ever. Typically, recruiters have a list of key recruiting tasks to do on a daily basis. Recruiters feel that the initial recruitment phase consumes most of their time and it hinders the other daily activities.

In a typical scenario, recruiters spend about four to five hours a day on candidate sourcing. During times of talent crunch, they slog a couple of hours or more to source candidates. After sourcing candidates, recruiters again spend a great deal of time to import resumes to the database. Recruiters extract the resumes manually from various sources.
