The recruiter database has long been the foundation upon which every recruitment company has been built, with recruitment software focused on helping to administer that database. The value of a recruitment company has sometimes been measured on the quality and size of the candidates contained in the resume database. Many Preferred Supplier Listings or tenders have criteria relevant to database size. However, in the last 12-24 months the reliance on this local, private information has seemingly diminished, and the importance of having it is being marginalised.
Threats to traditional recruitment company working practices come in the form of social networking and online vendors offering cloud-based repositories of available candidates along with the tools to communicate and record information. With the explosion of data and information available, the messages we hear are all about finding the best candidates via third party Talent Pools and networking sites. There is no doubt that access to such information is a viable opportunity to be exploited, but is this a reason for recruitment software to move away from the traditional recruiter database and the inherent business processes already established?
As far as DaXtra Technologies is concerned the answer is a resounding ‘NO’. Recruitment remains a people oriented industry and we understand that working with people is primarily about relationships. Therefore, it is the unique information and perspective those relationships cultivate which sets one recruiter apart from another.
The strength of any recruiter is the ability to quickly and efficiently place the right person, in the right role, with the right client.
For any given client or role, it is imperative to know:
For any given candidate, it is imperative to know:
Absolutely none of this imperative information is available in any online database. This information is unique to you and your organisation, and is both in context and complementary to the values and standards inherent to the way you and your company work. It is these values and standards, which the use of the recruitment database enforces and complements, that makes you work as a recruitment business.
DaXtra Technologies has always been in the field of ‘Recruitment Process Automation’ and each component of our recruitment software is aimed at supporting the activities and tasks involved in recruitment. The most important thing to note is that it is your processes we look to automate and all activities are recorded and updated in the local database. The benefit is that we save recruiters time and effort away from the mundane administrative tasks thereby enabling them to focus on creating new and maintaining current business.
All activities and networking undertaken should be recorded in the recruiter database for the benefit of the overall business. Otherwise, any networks, information and relationships built up in an online space, will be lost when the recruiter leaves, the provider vanishes, money for the service runs out, or when everyone moves onto the next thing.
Using DaXtra recruitment software every day saves you significant time and money. These tools enhance your recruitment database by means of the following features:
There are many ways DaXtra Technologies can help ensure both the knowledge available on your internal database system and resources available on the Internet are harnessed and exploited.
All information is stored and viewed in the best context, in a single place and, more importantly, the comfort of that knowledge being private. After all, it is your knowledge, your data, and only you should be benefiting from it.
