Recruitment is a people focused industry and the higher the calibre of human talent you can get through, the better your recruitment process is. At Servisource we use an Automated Recruitment Process which allows us to source top quality human resources and they can come on the journey with us from the comfort of their homes. 

Good talent is often hard to find, and businesses are always looking for talented individuals to better performance. The automated process allows us to identify and engage talent which saves both time and money. 

The impact of the ongoing global pandemic has presented many obstacles to people trying to find employment, this is an area where the automated candidate experience is extremely beneficial.

This automated experience allows potential talent to connect with us in ways they could not before. Candidates can complete the entire process from their laptop, tablet, or phone which helps stop social gathering, lessen the spread of Covid-19 and makes it more accessible for candidates from every location.

The automated process has streamlined recruitment and changed the way both candidates apply for jobs and the way in which employers look for talent. Candidates looking for a job generally want to start working and earning a wage as soon as possible. This automated process is much more efficient and cost effective as there is no travel time or costs for either party for interviews, letters, etc.  

At Servisource the Centralised Recruitment Team works with an Automated Candidate Journey. The candidate experiences several online automated steps to ease the application process from start to finish.

A candidate’s journey can be projected and imagined through certain key factors, recruiters can therefore envision how the candidate feels and experiences the process.  

It’s important to note that each key factor plays an important role in the candidate’s decision whether to continue with their application or apply elsewhere. That is why each key factor should be a positive experience for the candidate. 

Servisource Recruitment Consultants have expertise in Temporary Recruitment. The recruiters understand that some candidates are active and searching for jobs, but most are passive candidates not looking for a particular role. It is therefore the duty of the candidate experience to draw new talent in and for them to recognise the opportunities available to them.
