Recruiters tend to be people people. They want to build relationships and treat candidates like human beings. Unfortunately, rigid recruiting processes and inefficient recruitment technologies often hold them back.

In order to put talent first, recruiters need the right tech tools on their side. This eBook takes a look at exactly what that tech tool might be.

Hiring managers often trust their guts when making hiring decisions. The problem is, our guts are terrible at making hiring decisions, and data-based hiring methods in general always outperform our instincts by at least 25 percent. In fact, when it comes to data-based hiring methods, one in particular stands above the rest: the structured interview. Structured Interviews, when administered correctly, have a predictive validity of 62 percent - twice as high as the predictive validity of unstructured interviews.You can also learn more about VidCruiter's Structured Digital Interviewing solution by visiting https://vidcruiter.com/digital-interviews/.

What recruiters need is a way to cut down on the amount of time they spend sorting through resumes, but they need a way to do this that will not filter out great candidates for silly reasons, the way many ATSs currently do. What recruiters need is automated resume parsing/resume matching software.

Let's face the facts: employers and recruiters are much more willing (and more likely) to hire individuals that were recommended to them, or those that they have met before. Hiring contacts that they already have lessens the chance of hiring an under qualified candidate, and makes the process easier overall. Moral of the story is: networking will heighten your chances of being hired and will help you advance within your career.

When recruiters face animosity from candidates and hiring managers at the same time, it may seem impossible to please anyone. But it doesn't have to be this way. In fact, recruiters can please everyone. They can deliver great candidate experiences and great hiring manager experiences at the same time. All it takes is the right ATS.
