Online recruitment is so much more than just posting your vacancy online and waiting to hear from applicants. A recent study found that over 60% of 16 to 54-year-olds in the UK search and apply for jobs online, meaning that your next great hire is probably waiting for you on the internet. Taking your talent search to an online recruitment agency can reap huge benefits for your organisation.
Reach more candidates
When you’re relying on recruitment from a single brick-and-mortar office, your reach is limited. Building remote teams has never been easier and good internet connections are now the norm. Working with an online recruitment agency, you can focus on talent rather than location and find the very best people for your business from a large pool of candidates.
Streamline the application process
Sifting through a huge pile of CVs is incredibly time-consuming, and can mean time spent reviewing candidates who do not meet criteria. Online recruiters implement filters on applications to filter out unsuitable candidates earlier on. You can specify particular qualifications or experience that potential candidates require, so you’ll only see CVs that are suitable.
Use advanced features to target specific candidates
Technology can be used to push your job listings to particular candidates, with the aim of procuring better applications. For example, if you’re looking to hire individuals in a specific city, geotargeting can be used to push your ad in that area.
Accessible and inclusive recruitment
Building an optimal company culture requires a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This means attracting diverse candidates to apply for your open roles and supporting them through the recruitment process.
Online recruitment agencies can target job ads at hard-to-reach groups, increasing the likelihood of underrepresented job seekers applying for the role.
