Organizations deploy several resources and invest a lot of money to attain the most talented candidates in the market. Finding a top-class candidate is harder than you think as recruiters look for the perfect mix of company knowledge, technical know-how, communication skills, decision-making capabilities, crisis handling expertise, and other qualities in their future personnel while hiring. As they say, your ideal candidate is likely to be already working for someone else. Poaching an employee from other organizations can prove to be a daunting task, even with assistance from the best job board software platforms. Apart from using up-to-date job listing software, job sites can increase their chances of luring passive candidates — aka individuals already in a job elsewhere and interested in moving on — to their web platforms by using a few tried-and-tested tools.
Candidate rediscovery software and evaluation chatbots
Artificial intelligence has been a growing presence in the recruitment industry recently. So, unsurprisingly, it is a key technology to widen the scope of your existing job listing software for attracting passive job seekers. Chatbots, one of the more common AI applications, can be configured to conduct unmanned interviews. In extensive pre-screening interviews, such systems select candidates based on their response speed and quality of answers to evaluation questions. The chatbots can collect scanned copies of applicants’ personal documents apart from recording their responses in audio or video formats. Interview chatbots can help the best job board software platforms to carry out automated interviews of several passive job seekers along with the active ones on a 24*7 basis.
Apart from interview chatbots, another impressive modern tool fit for this purpose is a candidate rediscovery software system. As its name suggests, this tool runs through old records of candidates who had been interviewed in the past by your organization. After retrieving this information from your Applicant Tracking System (ATS), the tool scans the internet to know if such candidates are currently working for another employer. Based on this information, the system contacts the candidates via automated emails or social media messages. Once the contact response is accepted, the candidates can be redirected to a page containing several open vacancy recommendations. These vacancies are generally collated by job listing software tools on job sites.
Job crawling and aggregation tools
Job aggregation services, such as Propellum, use ‘crawlers’ — pre-programmed algorithms that ‘hunt down’ the best jobs on the internet before posting them onto job boards — to post irresistibly lucrative jobs from the web on job sites and advertise such postings for job seekers online. Crucially, job aggregators provide customized and distinctive options for different job boards. Extensive information, such as comparative salaries, job perks, and detailed job details, are listed for user convenience. As a result of these features, job aggregation is a resourceful tool to attract passive candidates to job sites.
Passive candidates are highly valuable in today’s recruitment environment as, by virtue of being in a job already, such individuals possess most of the qualities that recruiters look for in their applicants. Propellum’s advanced AI-driven job aggregation tools can act as a bridge between renowned job sites like LinkedIn (one of Propellum’s clients) and passive job seekers worldwide.
