3 Recruitment Strategies for HR Teams
Effective recruitment strategies help human resource (HR) teams attract, hire, and retain top talent. These strategies range from using recruitment analytics and tracking systems to conducting comprehensive skills assessments. At Pillar, we offer an interview intelligence platform equipped with video interview software and other features that make hiring and recruitment easier. Here are three HR recruitment strategies our platform uses:
1. Recruitment Analytics
HR teams can use data and statistics to make the recruiting process more efficient and effective. Some metrics to track include time-to-fill, time-to-hire, and quality-of-hire. Time-to-fill metrics measure how long it takes to fill a position, starting from the moment the job opening is advertised. This data helps HR teams understand how long it takes to find the right candidate and highlights any inefficiencies in the recruitment process. Time-to-hire insights track the duration from when a candidate applies until they accept the job offer. The information helps HR teams see how effectively candidates move through the recruitment stages and where they can make adjustments. This metric may also reveal potential delays in the interviewing or decision-making processes.
Quality-of-hire analytics assess the performance and retention of new employees over time. Retention and promotion rates, performance reviews, and employee feedback contribute to quality-of-hire data. Evaluating how well new hires perform in their roles helps HR teams determine whether their recruitment strategies are attracting the right talent. With Pillar software, HR teams can access data from various recruitment stages, allowing them to track and monitor key metrics. Our platform enables companies to make informed hiring decisions based on actual performance.
2. Applicant Tracking System
An applicant tracking system (ATS) automates and manages the recruitment process, confirming that each candidate is included in the screening process. An ATS can sort through thousands of applications, keeping them organized for a more efficient hiring process. The software helps HR teams track applications, manage job postings, screen resumes, and schedule interviews. ATS software is particularly beneficial for companies with multiple job openings and those experiencing periods of rapid growth or seasonal spikes in hiring.
Pillar integrates with various ATS software options, helping HR teams add valuable interview intelligence to their recruitment process. Our platform shares interview insights with the ATS, providing teams with more applicant information to help them make better hiring decisions. Pillar's integration capabilities enable HR teams to enhance their current workflows without having to replace the systems they're already using.
3. Video Interview Software
Video interview software allows HR teams to connect with candidates regardless of their location. This ability creates opportunities to attract top talent from different geographical areas, increasing diversity and broadening the talent pool. High-quality interview software improves the candidate's interview experience, which may influence their decision when offered a job position. If candidates can easily schedule and join their video interviews through a user-friendly interface, they may be more likely to accept an offer from the company.
Pillar's video interview software enables HR teams to rewatch interviews, enhancing the candidate review process. They can use the recordings to compare candidates' skills and responses to key questions. The platform automatically creates highlights of each virtual interview to save hiring staff time when evaluating applicants. With this feature, interviewers can focus more on the candidate instead of taking notes.
