Resource Datamine has made career site outsourcing simple for small and medium business firms

Attracting good talent is the requirement of every business, regardless of the size of business. Considering the talent crunch, most organizations have a career website or a section in their corporate website to display the vacancies and allow the candidates to apply online. A smart enterprise can reduce its cost by connecting this with a recruitment automation system without changing its corporate branding, at a fractional cost.

Big enterprises can afford to keep dedicated people for managing their websites, doing regular posts to the career section of website and to make the career section attractive for prospective candidates to apply.

Resource Datamine, a recruitment solution, supports a backend system, offered as a SaaS linked with the career section of the websites. This gives an enormous advantage to the organizations, irrespective of their size. They need no dedicated person for their career section, and job postings done by them as a part of recruitment process are visible on their career section. Prospective candidates can view the details of the job and apply against the positions online. This recruitment tool itself offers great advantages by providing search based on various criteria.

A research based study shows that recruiters spend a lot of time in interacting with candidates, collecting their resumes, formatting them, etc. Resource Datamine saves recruiters' time by at least 40%. It reduces the task of the recruiters by automating emails, collecting resumes in a central repository and providing speedy search on resumes of candidates. Providing a career section powered by Resource Datamine, further improves the efficiency by providing self service modules to candidates.

Applicant Tracking System - A must for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with long term vision

Small and Medium Enterprises need to be much more competetive than the bigger firms. They must ensure that productivity is more and there is maximum utilization of resources. As the resource requirement by bigger companies in developed countries keeps increasing, the pool of skilled worker willing to work for SMEs keeps reducing. SMEs are bound to feel pinched with the growing demand of candidates.Thus, it is a challenge for SMEs to maintain and increase the quality of their hires while reducing the cost and inefficiencies in their recruitment process.

Technology adaptation by SMEs can give them an edge and helps them to stay competetive. Process optimization helps to ensure that knowledge is managed and retained within the organization. This can be easily achieved by inexpensive productivity software. Productivity software helps to implement processes that eliminate the inefficiencies of manual systems and thus generate profiles.

Recruitment automation helps to maintain a centralized candidate repository, so that at the time of skill shortage, company has access to resources and quality data about the resources, collected over a period of time. With rising recruiter attrition, it ensures knowledge retention and knowledge management as well as the design of effective processes for candidate tracking. Good MIS reports help better decision making by managers and highlight where the money spending is getting results and where it is not.

Resource Datamine is an applicant tracking system (automated recruitment tool), which is meant for SMEs who would keep the long term vision of improving productivity at minimum cost by investment in technology.
