The typical enterprise HR department is sitting on a mountain of talent acquisition metrics. From applicant tracking systems (ATS) to performance management systems to candidate relationship management (CRM) systems, there are numerous technology tools for talent acquisition that capture demographic information, retention risk, recruiting costs, and more. Similar to marketing and sales, every step of recruiting and hiring can now be tracked and measured in your talent acquisition metrics.  

Staffing agencies and recruiters have a tough job. They often have to sift through hundreds of applications and resumes which can be stressful, time consuming, and overwhelming. To make matters worse, a 2018 ManpowerGroup Talent Shortage report reveals that 45% of hiring managers are struggling to fill roles due to talent shortages around the world. However, with the right employee recruitment management software, the recruitment process can be streamlined in a way that saves time and money without sacrificing quality. 

Whether you are actively participating or you are giving the Wild Wild Web free rein, the importance of employer branding in recruitment cannot be overstated. Your company has an employer brand—and it’s dictating the quality and quantity of candidates you’re attracting.
