A recruitment software, as the name suggests, is a software that is used for doing recruitment related tasks. Now, software are clearly meant to simplify the way things are done, and so, the recruitment software you invest in should simplify the recruitment related tasks you do and not mess them up even more.

In this blog, we mention the tasks that a recruitment software can automate or help you manage better.  These pointers can help you in analysing the software you are using or evaluate the shortlisted recruitment software for your business. Let us start.

Hiring budget- There are software that allow creating, monitoring and controlling the budget and comes with a built-in integration module. Whenever there is an open position, a certain budget would be decided for it. The recruitment management software helps you with the same. So, the budget can be defined according to the seniority level, experience, education, and position. If the cost is exceeding the budget set, the software highlights the same and helps you in managing it. Besides a module is also available to control the power given to various people employed in senior management and keep a closer watch on the budget.

Position management- This encompasses all the major functions involved in recruitment. A vacant position can be created and assigned to the recruiters. The resumes can be sourced, screened and shortlisted and the interviews can be scheduled too. Thereafter, the candidates can be assessed on the basis of their interview and the feedback and status of the candidate’s application can be marked in the recruitment management software. Not just this, you can also use the fixed offer letter template to extend job offer to the candidates.

Candidate database- Using recruitment management software, you can also maintain a candidate database. The database can include information like department, job title, certifications, blood group, salary, start date, birthday etc.

Candidate and consultant portal- There are a few software that are also capable of integration with candidate and consultant portal. This feature helps the recruiter to a great extent as the information is directly fetched and entered in the software. This saves the recruiter's time.

The aforementioned points talk about what recruitment management software can help you manage. So, if you want to own a recruitment management software make sure it able to manage the budget, position and database efficiently. If the software would be able to get integrated with the candidate or consultant portal, it would be even better.

Make sure you choose the software wisely. If you are already using software, you can see above-mentioned pointers as a benchmark. To put the life of a recruiter at ease, your company must use software and when you are already investing in one, why not invest in the best?
