Better Candidate Experience with a Shorter Application in iRecruit
Applicant Tracking Software is designed to collect information from job applicants so companies can make hiring decisions. Our customers know that iRecruit is highly configurable. This is important right now because we are in a candidate market. After the ups and downs of the pandemic over the last year employers are reporting that they are struggling to fill roles. Employers are having to adjust expectations, boost salaries and benefits to get people to apply.
Welcoming New Hires with iConnect
iRecruit can help you create a great first impression of your company by using its built-in communication tools. You can build a library of email and texting templates to communicate with candidates, and your new hires.
How Does Resume Parsing Work? FAQ
iRecruit customers use resume parsing with their employment application(s). Resume parsing can help speed up the process of completing a long application form. The resume parser reads the information on the applicant’s resume file (Word, PDF, Pages, Text files etc), and matches the content with the available fields on the employment application.
