A Powerful Partnering: Recruiters and Technology

Recruitment Systems

Professional recruiters have a long way to go in the context of obtaining leverage from technology resources, recruitment software, and online channels. According to the RCSA, recruiters are increasingly worried about the state of the economy. The lack of suitable candidates is a common issue faced by most recruiters and it seems it will continue to be an issue in the immediate future as the markets continue to recover.

Whatever the future may hold, recruiters could benefit from utilising online and technology resources in a more proactive manner. Agencies could concentrate, whilst thinking on market condition changes, in some of the following areas:

  Search Engine Optimisation for market positioning.

  The use of alternative online sourcing channels to face tactical resource acquisition constraints.

  Optimisation of processes by using online applicant tracking systems to save in operating costs.

  The integration of additional services by using existing technology platforms. When considering strategies to deal with changing employment market conditions, recruitment agencies and staffing firms should look at broadening the services offered to their clients and adapting to evolving market needs. One example could be the provision of temp and contracting services whilst trying to maintain a strong-as-possible permanent recruitment business base. Besides the obvious changes required from the business perspective, technology offers a flexible platform for delivering these new and improved services.
