Desperate employers also focus too much time on selling their company rather than trying to evaluate candidates beyond just face value. This isn t fair to the candidate, and it never works for the organization in the long run. Anybody can hire fast. The key is to hire fast without sacrificing the integrity of the process. That s where Web-based hiring becomes a competitive advantage.
Companies can use the Web to source, qualify, screen, assess, schedule and track candidates.
And as with any strong selection system, organizations can evaluate a candidate s knowledge, behaviors and motivation against specific customer contact needs. Web-based systems also can provide immediate feedback to candidates throughout the hiring process. This feedback keeps candidates interested in the company and helps sell the company to strong candidates. An automated system can handle every aspect of the selection process up to the final interview stage. While this technique certainly increases the number of candidates, it can have ramifications further down the chain, including the increased need for screening and qualifying steps.
