We’ve got twenty different recruitment technology providers attending our 16th October recruitment technology showcase event. In the run up to the event we’ll share some information on each of them so that you can get an insight ahead of the event. We’ve asked each of them three questions. Some will respond via a traditional text based blog, however, some are utilising video technology (did you see my vblog on the tech event here?). Here Firefish Software use both video and text:
Firefish Software “Elevator Pitch” Content
One in two recruitment agencies have a database where only 10% of their candidates’ information is up to date. Firefish can increase this to 65% in six months – and we’ll show a before and after to prove it.
Every recruiter’s nightmare is missing out on a placement when the perfect candidate was in their database already, but they didn’t know because their information was out of date. That’s why Firefish doesn’t just store candidate data; it’s an engagement engine to help recruiters maximise placements from their data.
The average recruitment agency has lots of online tools: applicant tracking system, website, job boards, social media. But with little or no integration between them, candidates get lost between the gaps to competing agencies.
Firefish leaves no gaps: the applicant tracking system, website, and marketing channels are all integrated to maximise placement opportunities. Key features include:
– Website integration
– Recruitment marketing
– Applicant tracking system (ATS)
– Customer relationship management (CRM)
– Reports and analytics
We harness the potential of recruitment marketing and the power of the web to reach candidates and clients directly, and aim to inspire the next generation of recruiters.
What questions should a recruiter ask a potential technology provider?
(The following is an extract from the Firefish blog, “10 Questions to Ask Before Buying Recruitment Software?”)
What’s the future of recruitment software? No, you don’t need a Mystic Meg impersonation – but you do want to make sure that your recruitment software is going to continue to develop in ways that suit you. If you agree with what they’re saying, you’re off to a good start.
Are any of your team recruiters or ex-recruiters?
A recruiter’s gotta know who’s who. It’s important to know that the people behind the software understand the recruitment industry. If they’re in it for the long run, you’ll get that impression very quickly when you ask about their history in recruitment.
