HR recruitment software FAQs

What is HR recruitment software?

HR recruitment software is used by HR departments and hiring managers to optimise and manage the process of recruiting new employees. The entire process can be managed using this software, from finding suitable candidates, to setting up interviews and assessments, to making an offer.

How does HR recruitment software work?

HR recruitment software works by managing, tracking and automating the entire recruitment cycle, cutting the workload for HR professionals, reducing admin and avoiding human error. Various functions can be enabled to do everything from posting open positions, to managing CVs, to arranging interviews and collating feedback.

Why should medium to large businesses use HR recruitment software?

Firstly, medium to large businesses can save time by using HR recruitment software to increase efficiencies in their recruitment processes, as well as enabling them to source the right candidates and manage applications more effectively. Recruitment management can be very time consuming for HR professionals – recruitment software automates these manual processes so employees can focus on strategic aspects of recruitment rather than admin.

Read our detailed guide to improving recruitment and selection for hiring teams.

Recruitment software is also used by agencies to help manage the entire recruitment process. Recruitment agency solutions are tailored to meet the needs of busy professionals looking to improve efficiencies and speed up effective candidate screening.

What are the key components of HR recruitment software?

Three key components of end-to-end HR recruitment software are:

1. Talent acquisition.

Talent acquisition can take the form of tools to help advertise your job vacancies, enhance your employer brand and attract the right candidates. Enhancing your employer brand can be achieved with an employee value proposition; take a look at our Employee Value Proposition template for best practice guidelines.

2. Applicant tracking software.

This will help automate manual processes by tracking candidates through the recruitment process, and ensuring new hires are created as live records in your HR system.

3. Screening.

This helps automate new hire background checks, speeding up your time-to-hire whilst ensuring a compliant recruitment process.

I am looking for recruitment agency software, can you help?

Yes we definitely can! Our recruitment agency software removes barriers to success by giving your agency everything it needs to scale. From applicant tracking systems and compliance to payment and billing, we have everything you need.
