In the run up to our technology event on the 26th September (you can book your complimentary tickets to the morning and afternoon sessions now) we are hosting blog posts from some of our exhibitors. This one is provided by Mercury xRM.
We understand what it is like to work in a recruitment agency. Time can be a valuable commodity and something you quickly find yourself running out of. When was the last time you went home on a Friday having completed all the tasks you wanted to do that week? When was the last time you wished there were more hours in the day? When was the last time you found yourself working on a weekend just to catch up?
If only there was a way to complete tasks more quickly? There is – it’s called the Mercury xRM way. We have spent time developing our rapid recruitment software to make sure that it will become a valuable time saving commodity for recruiters. You are faced with lots of time consuming tasks every day; putting together an advert to attract the right calibre of candidates, sifting through piles of CVs, talking to potential applicants, selecting candidates for interview – they all take time to complete in order to match the right candidate to the right vacancy – but it shouldn’t take forever!
Mercury xRM helps you to source hundreds of potential candidates in less than just 30 seconds! Our solution can take a vacancy, source relevant CVs from job boards and social media platforms, publish a vacancy advert to job boards online, and assign potential candidates against a vacancy in record time. You can then view details of potential candidates and refine your list of those you want to select for interview, a process that typically takes up to two hours when performed manually. Remember, because our solution is cloud-based you also save money by not having any hardware installed on site.
Mercury xRM provides a significant time saving to candidate sourcing. Just to put into context the rapid recruitment capabilities of Mercury xRM software, we decided to put together a list of 30 other things you can do in just 30 seconds.
