How do you make it easy for candidates to apply?
You could allow candidates to apply using any format they choose. That makes it easy for candidates, but a nightmare for recruiters and HR professionals who have to sort, track and input the candidate information, from a multitude of sources, into their applicant tracking system.
Or, you could create a highly structured application process that forces candidates to manually enter their information into online forms. This eases the burden on recruiters from having to sort and input this information, but creates an onerous application process for candidates, increasing the rate of candidate drop-off. And the fact is, the best candidates have limited time and multiple employment options so are likely to be the first to drop-off. So not only do you risk losing candidates, you risk losing the best candidates. There needs to be a solution for both the candidate and the recruiter.
Resume extraction technology simplifies and automates the application process for both candidates and recruiters. Candidates can simply upload a traditional resume in almost any file format, or they can apply using an online social profile such as LinkedIn. Either way, the candidate’s information is automatically extracted from these sources and quickly and accurately populated into the recruiter’s ATS.
