Recruitment Technology Strategy

Jessica Rubinstein - Thursday, August 28, 2008
Whether you are a small or large recruitment company you are looking for an end to end recruitment software solution. In a study prepared by ADP Group, 1 in 10 medium size companies employ an en-to-end system to manage the recruitment process. There is no single recruitment software company that delivers 100% of the technology requested by recruitment companies because each company runs on a different business model. There are similar key requirement that a recruitment company is looking for in a software provider.

Key Recruiting Tasks are:
1.    Tracking Applications
2.    Find/search and match candidates to requisitions
3.    Post jobs
4.    Initial screening/scheduling and interviewing
5.    Track company compliance and produce management reports/analysis
6.    Process New Hires
7.    Prepare and manage requisitions
8.    Skill/personality assessment tests
9.    Put together job offers and write offer letters

turboRECRUIT helps recruiters with the above 9 keys recruiting tasks. If recruitment companies are looking for other key tasks turboRECRUIT can always be customised to the recruiters needs. BUT within reason.

Signs of a softening AU Market

Jessica Rubinstein - Thursday, August 21, 2008

Jafeth Rodriguez, CIO of RECRUITadvantage has been measuring job board ad numbers for a few years in the Australian market.  In terms of industry trends, Jafeth has decided to have another look at current job advertisement trends to see if we can reach some conclusions of our own, at the high level overview. The average number of online job ads in Australia (per week) grew from 71,000 in Aug 2003 to 105,000 in Aug 2004 (48%) than to 132,000 (26%) in March 2005, than to 184,000 in September 2006 (40%), than to 250,000 in June 2007 (36%). To June 2008, we jumped to 352,000 ads, another 41% increase in one year.  If we see the trends on a month-by-month basis, we will see some signs of a softening market, but looking at the market over a longer period of time, we can say it has indeed grown in a healthy and consistent manner over recent years.

Jafeth will discuss more on this topic very soon…
