The ever evolving recruitment industry demands proactive recruitment leaders who can face the ongoing strategic challenge and create a mixed approach for talent acquisition and recruitment. Recruitment Industry has a lot of challenges today but you need not worry because we have solutions.

We have mentioned some of the recruitment challenges that exist in the recruitment industry today and our solutions to the problem:-

THE SLOW RATE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS

2. SimplyRecruit® offer Resume bank Services to our clients where candidates can quickly upload their resumes. Recruiters and other Companies can have their own Resume Bank which is built from all the resumes they received but couldn’t use it because the vacancies got closed. The resumes can be tagged for reference in the future. This will help our clients’ quick access to deserving candidates for any upcoming vacancies. The resume of a new candidate who has applied for any new position will also be added to the resume bank.
3. SimplyRecruit® is quick in analyzing the resume and extracting contacts and emails. We parse the resumes primarily to extract the contact details of the candidates and the system will automatically contact these candidates and collect more relevant information pertaining to current vacancy.
