Best practice in volume recruitment via mobile devices

A ‘mobile-first’ selection strategy is the recruiter’s equivalent of a gold prospector’s ‘shallow gold pan’ and it can help you to unearth the right candidates in volume recruitment, according to a new white paper from international assessment specialist cut-e.

Called Panning for Gold it examines the challenges involved in screening out unsuitable applicants in volume and high-volume recruitment, so you can focus your selection process on the candidates who have the optimum person-job match. It also explains how to create an extraordinary candidate experience, via an efficient and consistent process which will be championed by all stakeholders within the organisation.

The white paper highlights five key challenges that volume recruiters have to overcome and it provides an action plan of 14 ‘golden rules’ for best practice. These include integrate your systems; create the right expectations; use appropriate assessments to ‘measure what matters’; make it fair; engage, excite and inform your candidates; empower your hiring managers and conduct a ‘business impact’ study. 

To help create a business case for volume recruitment, the white paper examines the negative consequences of recruiting the wrong people (poor performance, early attrition and alienated customers). It recommends choosing a partner who can help with issues such as best practice, adhering to legislation, data security, talent analytics, validation and removing potential bias from your recruitment process.
