There’s a group of recruiting functions that has managed the seemingly impossible—they’ve achieved low recruiting costs, low recruiter headcount, fast time to hire, and high levels of new hire retention.
It’s safe to say that recruiting technology plays a key role.
Our latest recruiting white paper, The Talent Acquisition Technology Revolution: Inside the Practices of Recruiting Top Performers, makes the benefits of using technology in recruiting abundantly clear.
Out of more than 1,000 talent acquisition functions surveyed, those with the best performance on a range of recruiting measures make greater use of technology compared to lower performing functions. These talent acquisition top performers:
- are more likely to have fully implemented and optimized key recruiting technologies,
- leverage technology across more talent acquisition processes, and
- are more likely to use advanced versions of technologies like analytics and automation.
In the white paper, we unpack the differences between top and bottom performers in more detail, focusing on key technologies that include:
- The Cloud
- Automation
- AI
- Analytics
Along the way, we discuss specific tools that leverage these technologies and how top performers tend to implement and use them.
If you have yet to use or begin developing any of these tools, it’s safe to say that you are behind the curve. But…
It’s not too late for you to begin the journey.
However, this does not mean you should immediately rush to adopt a suite of the best tools with the shiniest new features. Recruiting top performers has invested significant time and resources into their use of technologies and their maturity is the latest stage in an ongoing journey.
