2. Chat bot based validation for candidates

3. Interview scheduling

Manually booking meetings probably won’t sound like a tedious task — until you’re entrusted with going to and fro to check availability for all the candidates you’d prefer to meet with. And with this pandemic situation, not when you are at home working remotely.

Automation in interview scheduling spares time and smoothens out the interview cycle, which makes a superior experience for both recruiters and candidates.

4. Candidate Nurturing

It better if you maintain a relationship with candidates along the entire hiring process. Candidate nurturing tools allow companies to engage candidates through email automation. These tools ensure candidates stay engaged and don’t lose interest in the position. Email automation can also help to inform them about the next steps like scheduled interviews and due assessments.

5. Background Checks

Even the best of the best candidates have to pass a background check before they are officially on board. Automated research on candidates, name matching technology, red flag search, and other features of automation tech can reduce your efforts on background checking.
