No resolution comes with a problem. The same applies to the staffing and recruitment sector too.
- The average hiring process usually takes between 30-60 days when there is no technology involved, emphasising the issues surrounding a long time to hire.
- Poor candidate experience is also common involving factors like delayed communication and outdated processes that often filter out some of the top candidates in the pool.
- HR teams are often stretched thin. So, when your company is scaling, the hiring process needs to be scaled with outsourcing or with the right technology. The lack of which leads to poor hiring outcomes.
- Delays, inefficiencies and poor-quality hires often contribute to increased recruitment costs, which in turn impacts the company.
When you are scrolling through “staffing services near me,” coming across the terminology “tech-first” is not a foreign concept now. More and more full-cycle recruitment agencies are now focused on the same.
A tech-first staffing service, as the name suggests, is a staffing company that leverages technology as its core-enabler. From sorting the candidate resumes through AI tools to automating sending emails to the shortlisted candidates, these companies don’t rely on manual interventions.
- AI-powered candidate sourcing and screening
- Automated resume parsing and database matching
- Digital assessments and video interviews
- Real-time analytics dashboards
- CRM and applicant tracking integrations
- Mobile-friendly onboarding solutions
