Several ways of employing software in enterprises

According to our survey of Chinese listed companies, about 2.5% of the companies are using recruitment management software, and the popularity of U.S. companies using recruitment software is very high, already up to 76%. The survey also showed that 85% of Chinese companies ' hiring managers, human resources directors, want to use the recruiting software to improve the efficiency of their recruitment, the responsiveness of their recruitment, and the flow of talent pool building, interview selection and talent assessment.

On the one hand, Chinese enterprises are more confident of their understanding of the business process and grasp, on the other hand, the software suppliers are relatively few, the market is almost difficult to find suitable recruitment software.

The basis can be roughly divided into four categories: the first category is a number of large-scale it enterprises to choose their own development; The second category is the traditional industry large enterprises, usually their own definition of products and requirements, and then outsourced to professional software developers; the third type of enterprise is to purchase standard software directly from the market and deploy it on the intranet server The fourth category is the use of "online recruitment management software", that is, we usually refer to the "Cloud recruitment" (Cloud Based Software), and the number of such enterprises is showing an increasing trend!

What is the focus of choosing a recruitment management system?

Choosing the right recruitment system is a learning process that takes into account appropriateness and a certain degree of foresight, as information technology develops very quickly and software products begin to "age" since the purchase, in fact, the so-called two development and upgrade are not very reliable. Therefore, in the selection of recruitment software, the enterprise's IT department to work with the Human resources department to fully communicate, in advance on the selection criteria (conditions of tender) to reach agreement. For the selection and purchase of the recruitment system, we propose the SMART2 model as a reference for everyone to choose.

Is the business feature smart enough

Objectively, the recruitment software belongs to the enterprise application software, the application must fully consider the software business processing capacity, product function and application value. Therefore, a recruitment software product or online application of the business characteristics, focus on the following five aspects: Systems (System), Methods (methodology), Evaluation (Assessment), reports (Reporting) and talent pool (talents pool).

Systems (System)

Effective recruitment software must be system-level software, not a simple client and desktop applications: can support multi-user (recruitment specialist, recruitment manager, business unit personnel, candidates, third party recruitment services, etc.) login, there is a strong database system, can realize the internal and remote sharing of data resources. Another function whether the system, integrity, can meet the company recruitment business Management needs. Generally speaking, the recruitment business activities of enterprises include the following aspects:

recruitment requirements and planning position editing, publishing and management recruitment channels (network recruitment, headhunting, internal referral, Campus recruitment, job fairs, etc.) talent pool (support for conditional search and fuzzy search) candidate management (interviewing, evaluation and hiring) Assessment background survey Other

When the enterprise chooses the recruitment software, it needs to consider the system function that the software can realize. In addition, these features can support the customer on-demand configuration, what the customer needs to function, what function to configure. Whether the system has the good expansibility, satisfies the different scale enterprise customer.

Method (Methodology)

Whether the business logic of the recruiting software follows the best management practices. How to manage headhunting organizations to maximize the effectiveness of hunting, how to manage internal staff recommendations, whether to ensure that internal staff get the best recommendation experience, how to implement team interviews and structured evaluation. These need to be based on the best management practices and methodologies.

Before you buy a recruiting software, it is a good idea to communicate the logic and handling of these business processes to the software or application provider. As an application of the recruitment software is not simply a technical product, the product design team must have a wealth of recruitment and recruitment management practice experience.

Evaluation (Assessment)

The recruitment process is largely a selection exercise, and evaluation is very important in the recruitment process. Whether the system can automatically screen a large number of job seekers to establish data, the use of filtering tools is simple and easy-to-use, and the filtering tool is consistent and coherent. Interviews assess whether there are advanced tools, such as structured interview evaluations, competency-based interview evaluations, and whether interview evaluations can be shared within the interviewing team. In addition, whether the recruitment software system has online testing, evaluation and other accessibility functions (may be third-party services), whether the necessary background investigation function. This series of evaluation tools are the guarantee of improving the quality of employment.

Report (Reporting)

The efficiency of business management activities is driven by business data analysis and evaluation. Whether it's a recruiter's performance report or a recruiting channel's performance report, including a Headhunter referral report, an internal employee referral report, and a variety of online recruiting-driven energy efficiency, quantitative management is achieved through system reporting. Therefore, the report is the recruitment management software must have the basic functions.

Talent pool (Talents pool)

Recruitment business is basically a talent data driven business. The establishment of enterprise talent pool is one of the important ways to improve the efficiency of enterprise recruitment, and also can reduce the recruitment cost of enterprises. Recruiting software for data-type talent pools is critical. In addition, when choosing the software, we need to investigate the data fusion ability of the talent pool, whether we can convert the CV of different format (such as word, pdf,txt,pst, etc.) into HTML format, enter the database system, whether the electronic mailbox data can be imported or synchronized with the system, Whether you can "move" the private resume that is dispersed on the recruiting website. In addition, the talent pool provides powerful retrieval functions, including keyword fuzzy search, combination condition search, and accurate search.

Are the technical features of the recruiting system smart enough?

In addition to the smart elements of business characteristics, the selection software needs to take into account the technical characteristics of the software itself. Includes sync (sync.), variability (adroit), accessibility (accessibility), Return on investment (ROI), and tailored and customized (tailored) five technical features.

Sync (sync.)

Whether it's a traditional recruiting website, a professional headhunting service, or a new application created by an increasingly rich social network, these changes have increased the diversity and fragmentation of corporate recruiting channels. How to effectively maintain a good synergy and synchronization with these external channels and external systems is the technical characteristic that the new recruiting system should consider.

Variability (adroit)

The organization and business processes of any enterprise are dynamic, which requires the application software to have good variability. For example, customization of organizational structure, customization of processes, user, role, permissions, etc. to ensure the variability of the entire system. In particular, as a multi-tenant SaaS recruitment system, this ability to meet the dynamics of organizations and processes of different enterprise customers becomes more important.

Some customers often stress their organizational structure and the regular changes in business processes, requiring the recruitment system to have such variability.
