Candidate Management

A candidate management system allows your recruiting team to quickly locate, track, and manage the best applicants for each open requisition. Major features of the candidate management process include:

An online database automatically imports information from candidate resumes as soon as they apply through your careers website. Resumes retain their original format. Duplicate candidates are detected and handled appropriately.

Integrated applicant monitoring tracks key candidates through each stage of the hiring process, while centralizing and automating all candidate information and activities such as interview schedules and feedback, offer creation and approval, expenses, attachments, and much more.

Candidate contact management enables you to monitor and log for future reference all communications with each candidate, such as calls, responses, and email. The candidate management system also provides email templates that can be used to standardize candidate communication.

Automated candidate communication enables your entire team to be kept up to date via email automatically with respect to the entire spectrum of candidate communications, from interview schedules and feedback reminders to offer approval notifications and new employee start date reminders.

Key benefits of the candidate management system include :

• Automatic sorting and filing of candidate information.
• Instant view of all active candidates.
• Reduced hiring costs through candidate pool leveraging.
• Quick access to data on the most relevant candidates.
• Automatic detection of duplicates.
• Creation of customized candidate fields for better management.
