Candidate Management
ApplicantStack's Candidate Management system streamlines the hiring process by providing an at-a-glance candidate status overview, enabling efficient communication through high-response-rate texting features, facilitating team collaboration with interview scorecards to reduce bias and improve decision-making, ultimately helping organizations quickly and effectively identify and hire their ideal employees.
Manage, Analyze and Hire Your Ideal Candidates
Give your hiring team an at-a-glance view of candidate status and easily identify next steps. ApplicantStack efficiently moves candidates through the different stages of the hiring process and helps you keep track of all your talent acquisition details—helping you find your ideal employee.
What if applying was as simple as sending a text?
Being able to reach top candidates efficiently and quickly, and doing so in a manner most used by society as a whole, is a priority in today’s fast-paced, highly competitive hiring environment.
Here are just a few reasons using ApplicantStack’s texting features within Applicant Tracking will set your hiring team up for success:
- Connect with candidates where they are – on their phones
- Ensure candidates get the message – texts have a 200% higher response rate than email and 98% of texts are actively read
- Optimize effort with batch SMS messaging to all applicants at once, automatically
- Maintain your engagement with two-way texting that keeps the discussion moving forward
- Improve recruiting efficiency for candidates and your hiring team
Make better, more informed hiring choices quickly — and as a team
Sometimes you need to hire fast and efficiently, but other situations call for a more thorough dive. In either case, being able to seamlessly collaborate with your team to pick the best candidate is invaluable.
Interview scorecards accommodate a more efficient hiring process and help you and your team easily collaborate in rating applicants based on the qualifications outlined for the open position. When used correctly, they help curb bias, facilitate collaboration, and allow companies to evaluate talent on factors that contribute to the bottom line.
An interview scoring tool is something hiring managers and interviewers use to grade candidates after interviews. This tool can make the hiring process more objective and help produce better-quality hires.
Hire the ideal candidate with complete confidence
How can you be sure you’re hiring the right people? Part of it is trusting your instincts, judgment, and experience, but another crucial part is having all the candidate information you need.
Simple, streamlined background check solutions can help you get the data you need to hire – and work – smarter.
Track your candidates
Having a pipeline of candidates is a good problem to have, but it can also cause issues in tracking and managing throughout the hiring journey. ApplicantStack can assist with candidate engagement by automating portions of communication, setting triggers for each stage of the hiring process, as well as scheduling emails and interviews.
Knockout questions
Developing knockout questions to auto-disqualify candidates based on criteria set by you and your team is an easy way to automate a portion of your hiring. Knockout questions tag candidates that have answered your designated questions incorrectly. Take the automation further by removing those candidates from your active pipeline.
Keep your team on the same page
Collaborating throughout the hiring and interview process is a common practice in today’s workplace. With hiring software, you can increase productivity, avoid costly time wasting and redundancies, and settle on better choices at a quicker pace. Stay concise yet thorough when hiring with ApplicantStack.
Reduce time to hire
By automating portions of your hiring journey—such as applicant pre-screening, pre-employment assessments, nurturing, workflow automation, and candidate engagement—you help your recruiting team hire and close the job position much quicker and efficiently, allowing them to focus on more strategic efforts than tactical ones.
Reduce mundane tasks and concentrate more on finding quality candidates
As the need for finding top talent faster becomes more prevalent, recruiters encounter added obstacles—including limited resources and possible bandwidth—beyond just getting the best person for the job. Recruiting automation offers numerous benefits, including time and cost savings, the ability to screen more applicants, reduced errors, and improved candidate communication. It also allows for easy scaling of the hiring process, promotes equitable hiring, simplifies compliance, and optimizes hiring processes.
