Recruiting can be thankless work. Sourcing, keeping up with outreach, scheduling interview loops, meetings with hiring managers and screening candidates can often leave recruiters wishing they could get some relief and appreciation. This week’s headlines are all about the ways recruiting automation enables recruiters to operate at a higher level. By allowing recruiting automation to automate manual tasks, recruiters are freed to focus on the more nuanced part of their jobs and show their bosses how strategic they can be.

Applying recruiting automation to current hiring practices is critical to achieving goals in this competitive hiring climate. Recruiters need to conserve their focus for thinking creatively and strategically. Augmenting workflows using recruiting automation is the best way make hiring processes streamlined, efficient and effective.
