Hi There, Recruitment is boring? May be.
‘Click-to-apply’ Phenomenon
Applicant tracking systems have changed the way hiring process operates
now. How easy it is to apply for jobs these days. Simply head over any job
board and click on that ‘click-to-apply’ button. This phenomenon makes it so
effortless for job applicants to apply. Tremendous and unproductive efforts required
in screening through the mountains of e-resumes are completely replaced by automatic
screening in AppliView.Some of the firms are
moving towards ATS to automate the screening process and save from going
through 100s of CVs for one position.
Key Takeaways
Hybrid
Approach: Automatic Screening and manual evaluation: Companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and even Instagram had already been using this puzzle
recruitment approach. One might say that it is easy or natural for these
technology companies to integrate such practices. The bulk of the workforce who
makes up the DNA of such companies comes with a programming background. These
candidates need to demonstrate that they are really good at what they do best.
In this case, it is the ability to solve programming puzzles for shortlisted
candidates.
Here’s how this works: Most companies have an
auto-responder feature in their recruitment portals. This feature allows auto-generated
email to be sent out whenever a job applicant applies for a position. Rather
than the generic thank you and application accepted message, we can incorporate
2-3 follow-up questions to learn more about the candidate. Question examples
include:
·
Why are you the best candidate
for this position?
·
If you were to rank your skills
that are relevant to this position, how would you rank them?
·
What would be your greatest
achievement that you think is relevant to this position? Why?
