The Countdown of the 5 Best Hiring Made Easy Features:

 

5.  Predictive Recruiting

Based on the job boards chosen, the sourcing indicator considers your job, industry, function, level, and location in order to give the percentage chance that you will get enough good qualified candidates to make a hire. This real time data driven approach will help you find the needle in the haystack (while searching through less hay). This feature is still in beta, but SmartRecruiters is thrilled about its potential to find you great candidates from right places.

“We are excited for the growth and data driven direction of the sourcing indicator,” says CEO Jerome Ternynck. “As they say, ‘In God we trust. All others bring data.’ ”

Job Manager is the cool and easy plugin to post jobs within your WordPress environment. This plugin automates the posting of relevant jobs on any web page while leveraging your existing style sheet, and letting you filter jobs by location and/or department.

1. Mobile Career Sites

“For employers, mobile is the new paradigm shift. SmartRecruiters Mobile Career Sites are a great way for candidates and employers to connect on mobile devices,” stated Michael Marlatt, a mobile recruiting expert and founder of mRecruitingcamp.

With 50% of internet traffic soon coming from mobile devices, it’s rather important to give people an easy access to jobs from a tiny mobile screen. Your SmartRecruiters Careers Page: www.smartrecruiters.com/companyname now has a mobile style sheet so that when someone accesses it via a mobile device it automatically adjusts itself to display your job list and individual job descriptions in a nice and easy format. This innovative product development has been featured in InformationWeek – “Help Wanted 2.0: SMB Recruiting Goes Mobile” and Business News Daily – “Savvy Recruiters Are Mining the Mobile Marketplace for Job Candidates.”
