Enterprise Staffing Software Built on Salesforce

As we look beyond pandemic pain and begin to see better days ahead, TargetRecruit President Andy Widgerson takes a look back at staffing industry triumphs and turmoil in “Lessons Learned from Pandemic Pain,” just published on Staffing Industry Analysts’ Staffing Stream.

A recruiter’s success depends largely on candidate and client satisfaction, which is why staffing technology priorities tend to focus on improving candidate experience and client service. In fact, there are thousands of tech tools available to do just that.

When I talk to staffing organizations, the most common pain I hear is that their technology stack is not able to deliver real-time insights into critical aspects of their business. The results of this are obvious: executives can’t make fully informed decisions about their business. I commonly hear that staffing leaders struggle to find true activity metrics for what their recruiters are up to in a given time period, actuals for gross margin on a deal, profitability for a certain time period, or strong forecasting insights.

When it’s your job to ensure your staffing firm has the right technology for optimal functioning and market dominance, you don’t need more bells and whistles. You need power and flexibility. You can get that through a single-source enterprise solution that allows you to fully integrate your front office with your back. Is that enough?

We take a look at the key reasons why automation and integration should come before artificial intelligence.

When multiple applications and systems are cobbled together over time, you eventually reach a point where what was once cool or expedient is now costly and inefficient. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there are now highly flexible solutions built on powerful platforms that allow you to transform your business with a fully integrated, single-source enterprise solution.

Automation and integration go hand-in-hand; it is impossible to automate things that aren’t connected. So is automation in your business being hindered by a lack of integration?

A CRM will allow you to keep track of your contacts, accounts, opportunities, notes, and every related activity. Whether your agency operates full (360) desk or split desk, combining both sets of functions of CRM and ATS solutions within your organization will drive team collaboration like never before.

The importance of managing your candidate database well needs no explanation, but it is not always easy. Here are ways to manage it well and ensure you beat your competition to time-sensitive placements.

This is the time for staffing firms to make a difference and a cloud-based ATS can help elevate the profile of your firm and ensure that your recruiters are efficient while working remotely.

In this blog, we have listed some of the tedious tasks that recruiters have to do while hiring and how they can be eased with the use of technology.

Staffing agencies cannot afford to move slowly in a candidate-driven market. Some of the organizations worry that hiring fast can lead to wrong decisions and low quality of candidates. However, with the right technology at hand, recruiters can hire quickly and efficiently, without compromising the hiring quality. Speed-to-hire is critical for staffing firms because there is a chance of losing revenue if their top talent is placed elsewhere. Hence, staffing firms need to be committed to speed and reducing time-to-fill.

While typically automation focuses on the recruitment lifecycle (from sendout to placement), in this blog, we are going to highlight some of the less obvious staffing processes where efficiency gains can be made relatively easily.

Hiring a consultant to help sort out and evaluate technology can be a very smart way to eliminate a lot of the risks.

The job of a staffing firm doesn’t end with hiring against job orders. As a staffing firm, you will be taking care of your client’s workers once they are placed, and ensuring that they are looked after will help retain your best candidates . An efficient timekeeping solution can ensure that employees you hired for your clients aren’t underpaid or overpaid, which is vital as they rely on its accuracy for their income. The timesheet solution will also ensure that there all relevant compliance is adhered to, avoiding the risk of penalties or complaints. For these reasons the needs of staffing and recruiting firms are unique when it comes to timesheet solutions. Here we have listed the must-have features for any timesheet solution to help staffing firms choose the right one for their business.
