It is in any company’s interest that its employees are constantly growing and learning new things. Of course, this is also true in the case of HR specialists, but only new challenges and unusual tasks allow for growth and not high volume of routine work they undertake every day. GoRecruit is able to help recruiters to become better specialists — by analyzing social networks and other publicly available sources it takes upon itself routine and frees up time for development. Here are some examples of exciting tasks that will surely «level up» an HR specialist.

More and more organizations see for themselves that candidate experience in the hiring process is very important, that is why thanks to GoRecruit a recruiter gets an opportunity to look into job applicant’s profile more thoroughly. An HR specialist can not only make sure that a candidate is a good fit for the company, but build a more substantive and personalized conversation with them. For example, when looking for talented employees instead of cookie-cutter messages and emails put together sincere ones on why one or another candidate is the right choice for the job.

Besides, an HR specialist might use newfound time to provide better onboarding for a candidate — not just tell them about the starting date, but also describe the working process in detail and give overall help during the first days. All of this will contribute to employee retention as well as formation of a positive HR brand.

Another important HR’s area of responsibility is training and development of employees. More often than not corporate education is ineffective and seems uninteresting for workers, therefore in this process there is room for nontrivial solutions, for example, an introduction of gamification or interactivity. Again, GoRecruit will help to find time for their comprehensive elaboration and experiments.

During 9 hours that our service saves when closing every vacancy, an HR specialist can read a useful book, a lot of professional articles, visit a professional meeting or complete a few exercises in an online course — do all the things they typically do not have time for because of the routine and due to what they stagnate in professional development. A different way to use the time productively and increase competencies is to perform more interesting and strategic job assignments. For instance, in the fields of search and retention of talented employees, creation of the conditions for effective workers’ training and development.
