The
magic wand for HR managers
When
was the last time you smiled graciously at the word ‘recruitment’?
For a long time Human Resource management has suffered due to
the lack of productivity tools. This is no longer the case.
The
process of selecting the right candidate used to involve an
extensive short-listing process. This exercise proved to be
tedious and cumbersome to the HR executive. With the information
technology boom, there are innumerable tools to help HR Managers
zero-in on the right candidate.
One
such tool is the online testing mechanism- a program that allows
candidates to take a test depending on their area of competence.
The results are then automatically calculated and if the candidate’s
score is high, he is short-listed. Since all the tests are automated
there is no need for intervention from the HR executive.
Another
handy resume software picks up only the details specified by
the HR manager from the employees’ profiles and leaves out the
rest. This software has the power to help store resumes for
further reference and has a smart and effortless way of retrieving
them at a later stage. This means that the system can be taught
to find applicants with the specified educational background
or functional field, and to report and summarise the details.
The
software also automatically tracks applicants and their qualifications
at the click of a mouse. It uses the job description as a starting
point for specifying the parameters to search a job database.
What
better tools does one need than these technologically advanced
products. For employers with good practices, novel practices
such as Internet recruiting and the use of resume-searching
software do not pose risks. Many job sites provide similar services
to their clients in addition to getting resumes to their advertisement.
So
if you want to stay up-to-the-minute, try leveraging the best
responses by using the latest technologies and you will be smiling
the next time the word ‘recruitment’ comes to your mind!
