Applicant tracking software - hot lists
Recruiting software for the most part is
designed to be used in a collaborative way. Well at least our executive
search software is. I add the footnote because I
sometimes give demos where the firm wishes to keep information from what part of the
recruiting effort unavailable to another
part. This staffing technique often come up where
the
firm is divided into sales and recruiting. Very often the
sales people desire to keep information about their clients secret
an available to the recruiters using the same resume
database?
Oh well if it works who am I to say anything. Our recruitment
or applicant tracking software is designed to hold all the
information on the entire recruiting process form client prospects ,
job orders and applicants. Anyone managing a staffing
software firm however must be able to see the complete
process. If the process is riddled with dead ends like here is
my own client database here and here is sales guys database over
there and here is a database of resumes
here than recruitment
management becomes a jigsaw puzzle.
Executive search software from Blackdog has
never bought into the separate but equal theory, but we do believe
each recruiter, each sales person and each level of management needs
to see their own views of the very same resume or recruitment
database. So we do it with two tools. First
tool is an 'all query engine'. The ability of anyone
from administrative assistant to president to query on any piece of
information they want quickly and easily. Second the ability of
each person in an executive search firm to have views of the
database that are specific to their responsibilities and
interests. For example one recruiter may be specialized
distribution managers and another may specialize in cost
accountants. A manger might be interest in only the number of
interviews per week by recruiter. The president may want to
know only the number of open orders for the week and the applicants
available for these orders.
Our hot lists feature answers
this recruitment need. A recruiter can query for anything and
then save it as a hot lists. The hot lists can be retrieved with a
click. Each recruiter, recruiting manager, staffing assistant
can have their own hot lists or view of the resume recruiting database. The
hot lists are not just lists for viewing. Hot lists are dynamic tools changing with each change to the
database, hot lists can be used for emailing, sending resumes or
'To Do' lists.
