In today\u2019s fast-paced business environment, hiring managers are constantly seeking ways to streamline their recruitme<\/span>nt and hiring processes<\/span> while still ensuring they find the best candidate for the job<\/span>. One tool that is becoming more prevalent<\/span> in the hiring process is the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Optimizing<\/span> Efficiencies with an ATS<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

Did you know the average job posting receives 250 resumes? But less than 25% are seen by human eyes, and hiring managers spend less than 60 seconds reviewing each one.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is a software tool used by businesses to manage and streamline the recruitment process to find the best possible matches more quickly and enhance the client and candidate\u2019s experiences. When used correctly, it can streamline the recruitment process by efficiently managing large volumes of resumes, ensuring that no potential candidate is overlooked.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite its efficiency advantages, hiring managers still need to ensure they\u2019re looking at the big picture of hiring and leverage a combination of an ATS, other recruitment tools, and human relationships to maximize their hiring success. Here are some tips to help you optimize your hiring process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Connect with Candidates Personally<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

As you work with your trusted recruiting partner who is helping you get candidates past the ATS stage, make time to connect with that candidate on the phone or through a video chat. Even a quick 15\u201320-minute call can make all the difference.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s really hard to value people’s personalities and work ethic straight from a resume. So really do what you can to take the time to speak with that individual. If they’re checking off, you know, seven of the 10 check boxes, we encourage you to have that conversation.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> – Cameron Little, tenured Creative Circle Recruiter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
