Most people think that finding a job is a challenge, while most employers believe that finding the right person for the job is the challenge. The truth of the matter is that both hiring and the job search are challenging and stressful. However, on-demand recruitment is a new option for employers looking for employees with specific skills. On-demand recruiting software is available and helps employers find exactly what they are looking for. And, the recruiting software is customizable to the employer. There are as many pros and cons to on-demand recruiting as with anything. A couple of advantages and disadvantages of this recruiting software are described below.
Pros: Improves performance and is cost effective
First of all, employers love on-demand hiring software because it improves performance and is cost-effective. This means that the software is out there doing all the work and trying to find employees. Therefore, the company does not need to hire people to hire other people or use current staff to do this job while removing other job functions. This is the profitable part. Having software do all the work can save a company thousands of dollars per new hire and it’s well worth it. Also, the software is very simple. There are certain requirements and they must be met, those that are not do not qualify. Performance is generally improved.
Disadvantages: Not able to differentiate personal qualities
One of the downsides of this recruiting software is that it doesn’t have a personal side, so you can’t relate to potential employees and their personalities. Sometimes an individual makes up for his lack of experience thanks to his eagerness to learn something new or her personality is perfect for a business that can be learned. This is the drawback of this type of software. However, since you are saving employers so much money, the drawbacks are usually outweighed by the many positives.
Who knows if the way people will be hired from now on will be through on-demand hiring software or if things will stay the same for years. The future is changing and technology is changing many things at the same time. Therefore, those applying for jobs through on-demand recruitment software should remember that they have to first make a good impression on the software, and then on someone in person.
