There is no business without human resources. No matter how big or small, all companies have HR teams. Talent professionals and hiring managers in all industries work hard to find, hire, and retain employees. Recruiting is about communication. So there’s no chance that technology can completely take over the process. But the right software eases and speeds up human resources management.
That’s why recruitment software is trending. Top HR platforms provide features both for small and big customers, offering both desktop and mobile apps to attract more users. HR tech solutions are increasingly in demand.
Since recruiting and hiring are complex processes, there are various types of recruiting technologies on the market. Let’s take a look at some problems that different types of recruitment software solve.
Finding candidates
The problem of finding candidates is essential in recruiting. There are millions and millions of job seekers online. But where can recruiters find the right candidates for open positions?
Job aggregators – places where recruiters post jobs
Recruiters post jobs online so that candidates can find them and apply. To post jobs, recruiters use job boards and job aggregators. A job aggregator works like a search engine. It’s a piece of software that collects job postings from different job boards so job seekers can easily find jobs by keyword and location. 50% of job seekers today use job aggregators. That’s why job aggregators are a significant part of the recruiting ecosystem.
No doubt the number one job aggregator is Indeed. It delivers more hires than any other site. More than 200 million people search for jobs each month on Indeed. What makes this platform so popular?
Indeed is international. It had great success in the US and later launched in other countries. Now it’s present in more than 50 countries and 28 languages. To customize their platform, Indeed worked with professionals who understand the local markets and needs of each specific country. It took a lot of effort to make job searching global. And of course, it wasn’t launched in 50 countries at once. Step by step, Indeed grew into markets outside of the US. In 2014, they stated that 58% of unique visitors to the platform were from outside the US.
Indeed works on different platforms: there are desktop, mobile, and tablet versions of the app. Multi-platform availability is essential for a recruitment platform, as statistics show that over 65% of job searches are done on mobile devices.
