The endless advance of technology has affected all aspects of our civilization. Every day new solutions appear to address new problems. The world of recruiting is no different. Hiring apps have appeared in droves to assist recruiters with their daily tasks, help them stay competitive in the labor market, and acquire the best talent to fill empty roles. Roughly 51% of recruiters report that they now use interview scheduling software, and an additional 26% are considering joining them.
However, quantity does not equal quality. Of the countless hiring apps available, it’s important to pick those best suited to match your company’s needs and provide an easy, streamlined experience for your recruiters, and especially for your candidates. Providing a quick and easy candidate experience during the hiring process has never been more important to recruiters than it is today. That’s why you need hiring software that only provides the best and fastest recruitment speed available like Qualifi.
But what else are you looking for in recruitment software? First off, you’re looking for software that plays well with others. We’re talking integration potential. No one wants to waste their time manually jumping between tools to send applicants assessments with one, background checks with the other, and scheduling interviews with yet another. Qualifi does just that!
Qualifi offers 50+ integrations with some of the most popular applicant tracking systems available. If you’re not familiar with these, ATSs offer a software solution to tracking applicants throughout the hiring process. Additionally, if you’re not utilizing an ATS already, Qualifi has yet another solution! Qualifi’s on-demand interview platform is designed to promote real-time team collaboration that allows you to track applicants throughout the hiring process. Contrast this with the traditional method of manually keeping a folder of each candidate, and having to track it down every time you needed it.
When it comes to finding the best recruitment apps available, choosing the right fit can be difficult. It’s hard to decide which is right for you. However, it is only a matter of knowing exactly what you’re looking for out of a solution.
For example, if you’re looking to cut your time-to-hire, you’re looking for apps that streamline the hiring process. Then the best hiring app for you is one that allows you to screen candidates as quickly as possible without sacrificing the quality of hires. Qualifi allows you to screen 5 times the candidates while cutting your screening time by 7 times or more. What’s more, it allows you to eliminate interview scheduling — a task many recruiters report taking anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours per candidate.
Additionally, if you’re looking to get job postings out there for job seekers to find, you’re likely looking to utilize the giants like LinkedIn Recruiter or Indeed. These services are frequented by massive amounts of job seekers every day. With Qualifi, you can screen hundreds if not thousands of applicants from these services quickly and efficiently at the click of a button.
There are plenty of options for job seekers these days, but what are the best hiring apps for employers? You’re looking for the best candidates on the labor market right now, and it’s only a matter of finding the right way to reach them. Not all hiring apps are created equal in this regard.
Job aggregators, more commonly known as job boards, provide employers with a place to advertise their latest openings. These include services such as LinkedIn and Indeed. As we covered before, these services offer access to massive amounts of candidates. Although both offer assessment options, they can still overwhelm a small team of recruiters.
That’s why the best apps for recruiters offer strong applicant tracking systems as well as the means to screen hundreds of candidates quickly. To this end, smart employers prepare themselves with high-volume screening tools. These tools often include features that allow you to automate the most tedious parts of the hiring process, preventing recruiter burnout and allowing you to focus on only the best applicants.
You’re also looking for a screening tool that utilizes the power of AI to find the top candidates. According to a survey done by LinkedIn in 2018, 67% of recruiters reported AI saved them a meaningful amount of time while 31% reported AI helped them find the best candidates quickly. You get this and more when you integrate Qualifi’s on-demand interview service into your hiring process.
It can be difficult to find someone who doesn’t own a smartphone today. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center, 85% of all Americans own a smartphone as of 2021. When you compare this number to the mere 35% in 2011, it’s no surprise that mobile hiring has become an important tool for recruiters.
But what is mobile hiring? In short, mobile hiring is any process to recruit candidates with mobile job ads or other mobile recruitment applications. This allows recruiters to reach applicants anywhere they use a mobile device, a device the candidates frequently use already.
This offers recruiters an opportunity to utilize SMS engagement to broaden their candidate pool and reach promising applicants right away. These mobile solutions include text-based virtual interviews that allow you to screen candidates via text message.
This may surprise some, but the modern candidate has become remarkably text friendly. According to iCIMS, 89% of Gen Z college seniors reported feeling comfortable texting potential employers as part of the interview process.
As a response, Qualifi is extending its on-demand interview platform to include SMS engagement and offers you the ability to deliver virtual interviews to your candidates via text message. This gives you and your recruiters yet another option to improve the candidate experience and save time in the interview process regardless you choose to run your interviews through text, or simply want to reach out with follow-up questions.
On-demand phone interviews are only a natural solution when you consider practically everyone is packing a cell in their pocket. These virtual interviews allow you to reach a candidate at any time or any place that’s convenient for them. Qualifi discovered that this interview solution allowed candidates more flexibility to respond to interviews outside of typical business hours. As a result, this flexibility brought in 75.5% more responses than a traditional phone interview.
With Qualifi, your recruiters can simply record the audio for the interview, and send it to hundreds of candidates at once. Not only does this save your recruiters time and give your candidates flexibility, but it also helps your hiring team mitigate bias in the hiring process. On-demand interviews provide an effective way to provide standardized interviews that allow every candidate an equal opportunity to shine.
Additionally, virtual phone interviews outdo other on-demand solutions such as video interviews by providing the most accessible interview option for candidates. Whereas with video interviews, your candidates find themselves in need of a quality camera. That’s not even to mention how phone interviews naturally reduce appearance-based biases.
