Watch the full webinar on demand here.

How to Tackle Recruitment Challenges

The conversation centered on the difficulties facing talent acquisition professionals right now — focusing primarily on the scarcity of qualified candidates and the intense competition for talent. 

Each panelist advocated for the need for faster, more efficient hiring processes, noting that recruiters must adapt to the evolving recruitment landscape and employ strategies to enhance and optimize their recruiting strategies. 

To enhance efficiency, the role of technology and innovation is more important than ever. Recruitment technology, analytics, AI integration, and data-driven decision-making are not just buzzwords — they are principles that should be embraced by recruiting teams.

Strategies for Effective Recruiting

The driving force behind effective recruitment is efficient data-driven strategies. Panelists focused on two major strategies, including stakeholder feedback and developing candidate personas.

Michelle Stone highlighted the importance of aligning talent acquisition goals with the executive team and investing in existing employees for high-quality hires that already are dedicated to your organization. 

Josh Jones provided valuable insights on creating candidate personas using feedback from candidates and recent hires. He recommended creating at least two candidate personas for each role and tailoring job descriptions accordingly, enhancing their appeal to potential candidates. 

By segmenting candidate pools and tailoring engagement strategies to fit each audience, recruiting teams can build a framework and greatly improve their overall quality of hire. Rachel Perry further suggested researching competitors’ job descriptions to broaden understanding and improve approachability.

The Human Side of Hiring

The conversation also highlighted the personalized nature of experiences within recruitment. Michelle Stone emphasized the significance of texts and emails as a more efficient candidate communication method. She also proposed segmenting candidates into key talent, strategic, and relationship audiences for effective audience engagement.

Josh Jones emphasized treating active and passive candidates differently, and indicated the importance of uniformity within interview teams, while Rachel Perry noted the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in recruitment.

Harnessing the Right Recruitment Technology 

The discussion concluded with the importance of recruiting analytics and metrics, harnessing purpose-built technology in recruiting, and providing a top-notch onboarding experience.

By highlighting strategies that can help companies adapt in the current hiring environment, the panelists provided actionable takeaways that companies can use to streamline and optimize their recruiting process.

One key to speeding time to hire is ensuring that the offer generation stage is seamless for candidates and recruiters. Delays and bottlenecks during this time can result in talent accepting offers from other organizations.

It can also significantly detract from your employer brand as candidates move from job seeker to new employee. Ensuring offers are signed correctly the first time, decreasing the back and forth with candidates, and providing a smooth experience for everyone involved requires a new approach.

Introducing eSignature: Jobvite’s new tool for a seamless job offer signing experience

To streamline and optimize the offer generation and signing process, Jobvite’s Evolve Talent Acquisition Suite has a new feature within its ATS & Onboard solution — eSignature. With Jobvite’s new eSignature capability, users can email a link to candidates that will direct them to their Jobseeker Portal.

Once the candidate logs into the portal, they can grant consent for eSignatures, and then view and easily sign their Offer Letter. eSignature enables companies to obtain legally binding electronic signatures from candidates on their offer letter as Jobvite complies with the ESIGN (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce) and UETA (Uniform Electronic Transaction Act).

Here’s why this new eSignature feature is so incredible

With Jobvite’s new eSignature capability, employers can improve speed of hiring and ensure candidates are nurtured throughout this critical stage of the hiring process:

• Reduce errors, increase time-to-offer, and improve time-to-acceptance
  eSignature operates seamlessly in the Jobvite platform rather than relying on integration with another application. This decreases potential for errors and makes the offer stage faster for candidates and recruiters.
  
• Streamline interactions with candidates
  eSignature reduces redundant communication, and streamlines the offer and signature into a single communication with candidates. This ensures candidates can focus on the task at hand and avoid being prompted to register for a third-party account.
  
• Prioritize the candidate and recruiter experience
  eSignature ensures candidates have a seamless experience that prioritizes their time and captures their activity in a single candidate log. Recruiters can automate these essential tasks and ensure all documents are kept within one platform.
  
• Eliminate the need for third-party applications
  eSignature within Jobvite enables companies to take advantage of native electronic signatures without having to purchase expensive third party tools that require integrations and maintenance, and detract from the overall candidate experience.

See for yourself what makes eSignature invaluable

We are thrilled to provide this new functionality to users of Jobvite’s ATS & Onboard solution as part of the Evolve Talent Acquisition Suite. Take advantage of this new, streamlined tool to simplify offer acceptance in your organization. For more information, talk to your customer success representative today.

Hiring is complex. (Obviously.) And it takes many steps along the way to align recruiters, hiring managers and applicants. So ,when an employer is ready to extend an employment offer letter to candidates, it should seek to streamline the process, personalize letters where possible, and create a memorable experience that bolsters offer acceptance rates.

Introducing Multiple Offer Forms: Jobvite’s new tool to tackle the offer creation process

To streamline and optimize offer creation, Jobvite’s Evolve Talent Acquisition Suite has a new feature within its ATS & Onboard solution: Multiple Offer Forms.

Multiple Offer Forms enables talent teams to take offer form creation to the next level by producing an unlimited number of customized offers that support their org’s recruiting requirements.

Eliminate the generic global offer form, which includes a long list of irrelevant and cumbersome fields that are often overlooked, or worse, that generate offers with errors.

Benefits of our new Multiple Offer Forms feature

Multiple Offer Forms provides an improved candidate, recruiter, and hiring team experience.

Using the new functionality in our powerful applicant tracking system, you and your hiring team can:

• Streamline the administrative nature of offer form tasks to improve the candidate experience and elevate your employer brand
• Ensure a seamless offer completion process to optimize engagement by providing tailored, personalized letters to candidates
• Empower recruiters to customize multiple offer letters that are suitable for a particular role
• Leverage ‘conditions’ that allow for talent acquisition teams to pull respective fields, which better align to requisition needs, like full-time versus part-time
• Speed up offer letter selection by creating a shortlist of templates, making it easier for relevant hiring stakeholders to locate the right letter
• Reduce the need to edit offer letters and expedite offer approvals from hiring teams
• Decrease errors by ensuring candidates and approvers only see relevant fields that pertain to the role with the option to edit and restart approval fields if necessary
