5 Ways Automation Empowers Recruiters

 5 Ways Automation Empowers Recruiters

It seems like technology has changed this world in a fortnight. And, recruitment is no exception. Large companies are switching over to automated recruitment tools to eliminate the cons of a manual recruiting process. It doesn’t mean that such software has taken the place of humans, instead it has taken over the basic and time consuming tasks and recruiters are left with more time to make strategic decisions. This is how automation is empowering today’s recruiters in many ways:

  • Data-Driven Decisions- When your company is having a huge amount of applications for a post, an automated hiring process can definitely reduce your workload by sorting the resumes of most efficient candidates as per the job requirements of the company. Also, some software can even provide you with stats related to the job applications which you can analyze to improve your recruitment process.
  • Reduces Unconscious Bias- No recruiter can assure a 100% bias-free hiring process. Even if some of them claim so, but intentionally or unintentionally, an element of unconscious bias always remains in the manual recruiting process. Automation can combat this loophole for sure. With the help of an automated process, the candidates are screened on the basis of a pre-determined and same criteria which minimizes the chances of any kind of biasness.




  • Creates Internal Talent Pool- Rather than posting job vacancies on different online job portals or other websites, recruiters can use an automated hiring process to map a large talent pool within the company. The company can contact the past candidates who are pre-screened or are saved within the company’s ATS and contact them whenever a job opening is available in the company.
  • Spend More Time with Candidates- Automation tools take on highly administrative tasks and the recruiters get more time to work on other important tasks. The hiring managers can devote more time in analyzing the efficiency of the quality of hire and the whole recruitment process. Thus, they can spend more time with the candidates and make useful strategic decisions, as the basic recruiting tasks like, resume screening, pre-screening assessments, interview scheduling, onboarding, etc., are done by the automated recruiting tool.
  • Improves Quality of Hire- When hiring managers are sometimes overwhelmed with the job applications and their workload increases, they might sacrifice the quality of work they are doing in order to complete their work. But, an automated screening software can easily sort a huge number of applications in no time, and still maintain a consistency in the quality of hire. Thus, such a software can save a lot of time and money for the recruiters.
