Recruitment with Digital HRMS: Hiring and Retaining New Employees with an Advanced HR Software

Today, with so much competition in the quest for the right talent, hiring can be a challenge for enterprises. One of the biggest reasons behind this is the ever-changing dynamics of the job market, paired with the fact that the candidates who are really talented are few and far between. In order to gain an edge in the competition to find the right talent, enterprises need a strategy to overcome the common recruitment challenges.

  • Sorting through resumes quickly to shortlist the most talented applications.
  • Making the email to the candidates stand out from the competition.
  • Hiring good candidates in the shortest time.
  • Using data to one's advantage for recruitment.
  • Seamless and streamlined interview process to create a good experience for the candidate.
  • Effective communication with the candidates during the recruitment process.

However, it seems recruitment is only the first step and whether the candidate will continue working for the company a few years down the line depends on the kind of experience the candidate has in the company. This begins with the very first day of joining and continues thereafter.

If we look at the statistics available, we see that recruitment is not the only challenge that Enterprises face today but it's also about employee retention.

Well, also consider this:

So, employee retention is also an aspect that requires attention. Now the question is how can enterprises today overcome the dual challenges of recruitment and retention.
