How Recruitment Technology has Changed
Technology is constantly moving forwards.
New innovations are coming to market every single day which improve our lives and the world around us.
As recruiters, we’ve embraced technology to help our clients and candidates enjoy the best recruitment experience possible.
Our Co-Founder Tim Davey gives us his insight into how recruitment technology has changed:
“As we operate in the Cloud & IT Infrastructure space there’s no need to talk about the importance of technology.
Our lives are intertwined with the ever changing and developing technologies.
This is no different in the world of recruitment.
Back when I started in recruitment in 2004, there wasn’t a lot of technology around.
Iphones hadn’t been released, and I signed up to LinkedIn in November 2005 as an early adopter.
In terms of recruitment technology then, you were really limited to just your CRM and potentially a couple of job advertising platforms like JobServe.
There are many areas where recruitment technology has evolved over the years, including:
- Social media
- Web & SEO
- Advertising
- PPC
- Video technologies
- Recruitment automation
- VOIP & UC
- AI platforms
- Scheduling platforms
We even have a technology we use at InfraView for supercharging our Boolean searches!
Some of the many benefits of technology in recruitment go without saying. These include:
- Increased speed
- Cost effective
- Create a better hiring process
- Improve quality
- Better experience for candidates, clients and recruiters
- Better results
If you’re looking at investing in recruitment technologies, it’s important to avoid a tech stack which becomes a ‘frankenstack’, a tech stack where your technologies do more harm than good, don’t integrate well with each other, isn’t user friendly and creates a negative return-on-investment.
If you get the balance right, recruitment technologies can help your hiring managers to create a better recruitment process, increasing ROI and giving them more time to do what they’re good at.”
