RE:STACK

EP305 | How to optimise your recruitment tech stack In episode 305 of the Talent Matters Podcast, host Dave Jenkins sits down with Holly Langley, founder of RE:STACK and Automation Station, to discuss optimising tech stacks for recruitment agencies. The conversation covers the complexity of recruitment technology, common pitfalls in tech adoption, the importance of continuous training, and the role of automation in making businesses more profitable. With practical tips and real-world examples, Holly shares invaluable advice on how to streamline processes, improve data management, and effectively use technology to enhance your recruiting efforts.

We’ve been thinking about the phrases we hear most often when it comes to poor Bullhorn usage: “We don’t know how to use it.” “It doesn’t align the unique needs of our team and business.” “It’s time-consuming rather than time-saving.” If you can relate to any of these, you’re not alone. ✋ But they’re not a reason to take the easy route, return to old habits or bury your head in the sand. It’s time to protect your investment and start making your tech pay for itself. #BullhornTips #TechSolutions #BusinessProductivity #InvestInTech #TechForBusiness #BusinessTech #TechStrategy

250 leads. Simple. Sometimes looking at the bigger picture can be overwhelming. But when you break it down, tasks become more manageable, allowing you to focus on the next opportunity. As each task starts to generate a return, you’ll feel more confident to do more and start allocating time towards the efforts that are really working. We were delighted to support Tim and the team, proving how each task can be, in his own words, “simple yet so effective”. client feedback testimonial #ClientTestimonial #BusinessGrowth #LeadGeneration #Productivity #Data

What’s worse than expensive tech? Having expensive tech that you can’t measure ROI on.

If you want to attract more job applicants, put the salary in your job description. Not only does it reduce the amount of time recruiters and hiring managers spend on unqualified or low-quality candidates, it also helps you to attract better talent. By being transparent about the salary upfront, you can ensure you are getting the right people who are genuinely interested in the role and who are aware of the pay. A great job description should also include a detailed description of the role and the company culture. In addition, people looking for a job appreciate knowing what to expect in terms of money. It eliminates the requirement for them to have to ask for the salary early in the process, allowing them to focus more on if the role and the company are a good fit. #Recruitment #JobDescription #Salary

Recruitment technology has transformed the entire process and with it, the landscape of recruitment. What do you think the next big thing in recruitment technology will be?

Neglecting proper integration of recruitment technology can significantly impact the efficiency and success of your agency. You probably already know the problems this causes, but let me remind you because I still see this happening on a daily basis. **Communication Breakdowns:** Inadequate integration can lead to disconnected recruitment technology tools operating in silos, causing communication breakdowns and data fragmentation. This inefficiency can slow down decision-making processes and hinder workflow. Get your tech speaking to one another! **Poor Use of Resources:** A poorly integrated tech stack often results in underutilization of valuable resources. Your recruiters and Ops teams will struggle to fully leverage the capabilities of each tool, leading to missed opportunities for automation, optimization, and efficiency gains. **Wastage of Money and Resources:** Investing in recruitment technology without proper integration can lead to wasted resources and financial waste. Ensuring tools are effectively integrated is key to maximizing ROI and workforce potential. By understanding these risks, recruitment agencies can prioritize effective integration strategies to unleash the full potential of their technology stack. Embracing seamless connectivity and data flow across platforms can enhance agility, improve decision-making, and ultimately drive better candidate experiences. Make 2024 the year your technology investments finally translates into tangible returns and operational excellence.

The right recruitment technology systems in place can make or break a business. Having the right technology can make all the difference in supporting your recruitment practices and the success of your team. But it can be a challenging process to implement it. Do this to ensure the implementation of a new piece of technology goes well: 1. Develop and execute a timeline. This provides a clear approach for the entire process, breaking it down into achievable and manageable tasks. ⏰ 2. Communicate the process and the benefits to everyone involved. Having clear understanding and the full picture is essential to the success of implementation. 🗣 3. Select the right team members to manage the implementation. Ideal team members possess experience, positive attitude and technical knowledge. 🤝 4. Always approach the process with enthusiasm and confidence. 💪 5. Hold your supplier accountable. Map out the full training process for your teams to ensure everyone within your business knows how to use the product!
