Recruiting is hard. It’s something many employers find challenging. Taking on a bad hire can cost companies dearly, and no one wants to be worried about needing to dismiss an employee with fewer than two years’ service.
Common Recruiting Challenges
· Cost
· How to attract the brightest and most qualified talent
· Length of time to recruit
Another specific challenge facing SMEs is that they tend to have smaller HR function and fewer related resources. Using a recruitment consultant to fill your vacancies can be expensive.
At the end of last year when capacity allowed, we took the decision to build an
Applicant Tracking System into WorkSmarter’s platform. This was a feature that clients told us they would love to have.
A Competitive Advantage
Having direct control over the development process gives WorkSmarter enhanced expertise and agility when evolving user needs, which in turn ensures higher quality software and better platform experience.
During a build, our in-house development team can move quickly - accommodating different priorities while ensuring that maintenance, updates, and ongoing software enhancements don’t suffer.
With the ATS feature now built into the
platform, user feedback has been awesome and we’re ready to go for the next phase of WorkSmarter’s evolution.
ATS in Brief
Our new Applicant Tracking System resolves many of the common hiring issues faced by small to medium enterprises. It’s a powerful hiring tool that integrates seamlessly into your WorkSmarter account, assisting at each stage of the hiring pathway, for end-to-end recruitment.
