The work of an HR manager assumes a constant processing of colossal amounts of information about current and potential employees. Data volumes can be especially large when it comes to planning workloads or finding new candidates for the position. HRs have to carefully study the incredible quantities of documents day by day in order to arrive at a conclusion. Such activities are not only routine and time-consuming. Literally, a couple of hours of monotonous reviewing would make even the most meticulous person lose their focus (for example, a tired HR can simply overlook important information in the CV of the next candidate). To solve this problem, specialized software is used. These are applications for the automation of the personnel search. We compiled a brief review of the most popular among them.
ClearCompany
This cloud solution is ideal for maintaining an internal system of personnel records, as well as managing labor productivity. It suits both companies with already formed employees structure and dedicated HR department and small organizations that do not have specialized human resource experts. With the help of this software, you can easily organize importing of all the contacts according to the predefined criteria from business social networks (LinkedIn, for example). In addition, ClearCompany has an extremely low entry threshold and is therefore excellent for those who previously had no experience with such software.
Jobvite
Also a cloud-based software product, Jobvite supports the complete automation of all the stages of the applicant admission. It is perfect for medium and large businesses. In particular, you can transfer to Jobvite the obligation to send job offers, monitor potential candidates, conduct initial interviews, and create a database of current and potential employees of the company. With the help of this software, you will reduce the costs associated with hiring to the minimum. Therefore, the high, at first glance, cost of the product in the perspective will fully pay off.
HR.my
HR.my is an incredibly advanced solution from the Malaysian software vendor, designed to facilitate the execution of ordinary tasks of HR managers (including management, self-service, and the salary appointment). The application is constantly being improved, mostly because of the feedback from active users.
