Traditional Recruiting Models Vs Point Solutions

In the midst of this World wide pandemic, businesses are re-opening with new guidelines and precautions.

Most of the Traditional models and methods have been changed since the pandemic, all remote, virtual and socially distanced work culture is the new normal now.

In this new world, hiring technology is also drastically changing as companies are realizing the incapability of traditional hiring methods to meet today’s demand for talent supply.

In order to sustain in this new environment, every recruitment agency or company has to embrace the new technologies and platforms, as, without a new tech-savvy environment in this industry, recruiters would end up in some unproductive hours and lag behind competitors.

In this blog, we are comparing these two models of recruiting – the traditional and new point solutions way of recruiting mode, this will clear doubts about new adaptability of processes in our Industry

Traditional recruiting Model

This model has been practised from the beginning of the industry which was effective to a specific time era but now it seems not working in the new recruitment industry as it limits a recruiter’s ability to maximize productivity.  Recruiters usually follow the below process in this model

Disadvantages of this method are

Even the best recruiters struggle with this gap of the technology, processes, and additional support to deliver quality submittals and hires and from being productive.

Technology point solutions in the old recruitment method

 Many organizations now adopting some point solutions to solve problems in the old recruiting method like

But the problem integrating these technologies solutions is it might exhaust recruiters as they have to deal with multiple complex technologies along with the original method and processes of recruitment, in this process many recruiters have to use two monitors to monitor their inbound text and email traffic while trying to call and log interactions with candidates on another monitor.

But we can minimise these over complicated work models in point solutions by giving preference to the most eligible candidates for further conversation after the automated screening task.

For example: If we receive 1000 applications, manually or automatically through the app, we assign the bot assignments to all candidates and based on the result, scores would be given to the candidates, then only the highest scored candidates should be considered for the final conversation. This eliminates waste of time, and we get to give few by quality submittals and candidates to the company/client

Workplace Diversity – Its necessity and how to diversify your company

We have a diversified work culture / Our team is a diversified group of professionals / Diversity is the strength of our company.

We see and hear the above punchlines advocating a lot of the company’s work culture.

But the question is – Are we truly diversified? Or What is a Diversify team?

What is Diversity in the Workplace?

What exactly does it mean to have a diverse workplace? 

The Answer is Simple

When we hire or build a team irrespective of ethnicity, religion, cultural background, sexual orientation, and gender and focus on only one point i.e Talent or if the candidate brings something unique to the table.

It’s not only to have a diversify people but the goal is to respect individual differences, treat all equally and achieve a cultural awareness of looking at things from a different angle

Why does diversity matter in 2025?

The benefits of diversity and inclusion  (D&I) are well known.

As McKinsey & Company found that companies with highly diverse boardrooms were 43 per cent more likely to attain higher profits, let’s point out some of the reasons:

The areas of business being outsourced in MSP:

In simple a sentence, diversity shouldn’t just be a topic of discussion among HR professionals. It should be an important step to be taken by every industry to be more inclusive which gives companies a competitive advantage. 

How to diversify your team

As we can see diversity and inclusion (D&I) goals are changing and growing each year, and many organizations still not be able to hire the desired number of employees, we went for some market research and came up with a few tips to help you diversity your company.

If your company struggling to hire diverse talent, below are some practices that can help us to find diverse talents. 

1. Educate leaders on the Benefits of Diversity

In workplaces, the real connection between manager and employee is the backbone of diversity. Most the team members quit the job if there is no connection with their manager, so we must educate the company’s leaders or managers on how important and beneficial diversity is for the company and for productivity.

Also, make sure we have a close look at employee feedback mechanisms so that there is clear, communication between managers and their direct reports.

When workplace diversity is celebrated by the top people in the hierarchy system, the potential of your workforce diversity comes close to your desired team.

2. Address all aspects of diversity

Take a step back and think ‘What does diversity mean to you?’ after getting the answer only you should step forward to building a diverse team.

When we think about diversity, we usually focus on gender, race and religion. But, we do not include age, disability, language, personality, and sexual orientation into Diversity which is completely wrong because these kinds of diversity matter too.

By addressing different aspects of diversity, you can ensure that no one is left out of your consideration.

You also should be prepared to resolve the internal conflicts that can happen due to differences among team members.

3. Use diverse job boards to expand your sourcing

Sticking to a certain job board and drawing candidates from the same pools of candidates over and over is likely to produce uniform candidates. 

Instead Post openings on job boards that specialize in diversity and that way by expanding your reach, you can find candidates whose qualities are diverged from the norm and unique

4. Highlight your career page for diversity

Use your website career page to highlight your company’s diversity statement and any other current or future initiatives on diversity. Mention our diverse team building intentions in every Job Description.

5. Identify and Eliminate Bias

Biases can be unconscious, and before starting building a diverse team you should identify those. Recruiters, hiring managers, and others who participate in the hiring process are facing the challenge of unconscious biases and fighting this could be more complicated.  To eliminate this, you can Train HR and other recruitment staff to recognize and avoid bias in the recruitment and hiring process, you might require outside consultants for that.

To overcome the problem, you can consider using blind hiring options like removing identifying information like names, addresses, and indicators of gender from applications or resumes and focusing attention on qualitative factors like skillsets. We can use HR software programs and tools have been developed that utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to make better diversity and inclusion hiring decisions.

6. Redefine your recruiting strategy

You need to have a solid recruitment strategy to attract a more diverse workforce. For example: being careful with the language while posting a job- should be inclusive. You can use a personality assessment test to measure the personalities of applicants. Provide helpful work-life policies like leadership development opportunities, Create safe spaces for employees, Offer Workplace Flexibility, Create More Inclusive Workplace Policies etc

7. Celebrate Unity in Diversity

You can celebrate the differences in various ways like conducting awareness and training programs for all the employees.

A monthly team hurdle would be great to discuss openly different diversity topics and challenges if facing any.

Employees could be invited to share more about their culture and backgrounds.

Introducing diversity and inclusiveness can be challenging but with the right intentions and process, You will be ready to welcome employees from various backgrounds to your company and make a diverse group of talented people!

Second Chance Hiring In Contractual staffing and its benefits (?)

What is Second chance hiring?

What usually pops into our mind when we heard or see the word “Second chance hiring”?

Profuse ideas might cross our mind about the term, but in the staffing and recruitment industry “It is the practice of hiring individuals with a criminal record to bring inclusion in the company or organisation”.

If we look into the numbers of criminal records against US citizens, the statistics show a shocking number – One-third of US citizens have a criminal record, and if a such large percentage of the country finds difficulty to get a gainful job, then the shortage of labour in the country would be inevitable.

Does it Matter?

A Criminal record does not automatically equal to dangerous in every case or individual. 

It would not be best to assume the worst in everyone who holds a criminal history, or should not consider them for a second chance would seem like discrimination.

A criminal record does not automatically signifies a murder or theft conviction, a few charges can be negligible for not qualifying them to have a second chance 

The stigma around giving a second chance hiring

There are some strong waves in the industry both promoting and discouraging second-chance hiring.

However, for many employers, the stigmas are associated with many doubts like, are we putting our current staff in danger? Are they trustworthy and reliable? Will they affect the brand image of the company? Will other staff be feeling safe around them?

Of course, such sentiments and fear can not be denied, but one should look at the bigger picture of second-chance hiring.

 

Why organizations are pursuing a Second-Chance Hiring Strategy?

Mainly because of two reasons why organizations are thinking and pursuing a second chance hiring strategy

  1. Altruistic Mindset: This mindset is to do something selfless for another human being, this way of hiring is to give humans a second chance irrespective of thinking our prospects of strategy
  2. To get a motivated workforce: Rather than having a single charitable mindset, getting a potentially motivated workforce for the organization should be the reason for organizations to consider a second-chance hiring.
The benefit of second-chance hiring

There is a good example set by Yonkers, N.Y.-based Greyston Bakery, the primary supplier of brownies for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

This bakery is in the limelight of second-chance hiring, giving a perfect example of inclusion in their workplace.

Job candidates at the bakery have an easy application process, all just need to fill out a one-page form that asks for a name, phone number, and e-mail address. 

They are not being asked about their physical abilities or any other sensitive information. Once the form is filled out, it goes onto a pile arranged in chronological order. 

The next time a job opening becomes available, the person at the top of the list gets a call and since there’s no background check or reference requirement, many convicted felonies and homeless strugglers get the job.

Second-chance hiring can benefit the society and recruitment industry at large because it could be the solution to finding talented individuals in an extremely competitive job market.

According to a study conducted by Second Chance Business Coalition, 85% of HR and 81% of business leaders stated that individuals with criminal records perform the same as or better than employees without criminal records. Some research also stated that the turnover rate is lower in second-chance employees which saves a lot of additional hiring costs.

Second-chance hire also advances diversity and inclusion initiatives, and if we look into its financial point of view, there are tax incentives for second-chance hiring. 

The federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit gives employers who hire a qualified ex-felon a tax credit of up to 25% of their first year’s wages if the employee works at least 120 hours, and 40% if they work over 400.

And last but most importantly, the overall community benefits when individuals are given employment.

Ways to do second-chance hiring

It shouldn’t be done to be charitable or altruistic. It should be because your organization is committed to hiring the best person for a job – Genevieve Martin, executive director of Dave’s Killer Bread Foundation.

Second-chance hiring is less likely to work if an organization is doing it for the wrong reasons, like for PR or marketing or even for altruistic purposes, some of the best practices an organization can follow are 

  1. Proper mentoring to those who need them, and having fully established mentoring programmes are more beneficial for second-chance candidates.
  2. Providing support and training through existing employees can be very beneficial for second-chance hires 
  3. Educate your existing workforce on why you are hiring people with criminal records and make them feel comfortable around them.

Putting aside the stigma around criminal record holders and with a strong screening and interview process, we can achieve great success in accessing a strong talent pool.

AI and Recruitment: How Technology is Transforming the staffing and recruiting industry

The world of staffing and recruiting is undergoing a major transformation, and it’s all thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, it’s estimated that a whopping 43% of recruiters around the globe are already using AI in their recruitment processes, and the impact has been overwhelmingly positive.

One of the biggest advantages of AI in staffing and recruiting is that it drastically reduces the time and labour involved in various tasks. From sourcing resumes to screening candidates and scheduling interviews, AI can automate and streamline these processes, allowing recruiters to achieve in minutes what used to take hours.

The benefits of AI in staffing and recruiting are undeniable, and it’s clear that this technology is here to stay.

What are AI and its impacts on the recruitment industry

So how exactly does AI work, and what are its impacts on the recruitment industry? AI is a technology that simulates the human brain using algorithms such as machine learning, natural language processing, predictive analytics, and robotic process automation. These technologies use data to make decisions and interact with users, just like humans.

While many people are enthusiastic about the idea of integrating AI into their company infrastructure, there are also those who have concerns about the transition to AI. However, the benefits of AI in staffing and recruiting far outweigh the potential drawbacks.

For example, (1) AI can help to maximize the efficiency of recruiters by automating many of their tasks. (2)It can also eliminate human biases that often impact the recruitment process and influence decisions. (3)Additionally, AI can enhance the candidate experience and improve the quality of hires. (4)And of course, there are economic advantages, such as the cost benefits of using AI-enabled talent acquisition applications.

How AI can be used in the recruitment process

 AI has already been proven to increase the efficacy of the hiring process, here below are highlighted points on how it enhances the overall effectiveness

Job description

AI can assist in creating a flawless job description that includes all the relevant keywords to attract the most suitable candidates. By using the appropriate language and keywords, AI can help draw in highly qualified individuals who possess the required skills and experience for the position.

Job posting

According to CareerBuilder, their AI technology allows recruiters to generate job postings five times faster. The platform also provides recruiters with a candidate appeal score, enabling them to assess the effectiveness of their posts in attracting potential candidates. This feature has resulted in an impressive 175% increase in job applications.

Candidate sourcing

AI-powered candidate sourcing can help organizations quickly find the right candidates for their open positions. Using sophisticated algorithms, AI automates various tasks such as searching through job boards, internal databases, and social media platforms to identify and source the most suitable candidates for a particular role. This saves recruiters a great deal of time and effort, allowing them to focus on other important aspects of the recruitment process.

Candidate screening

The screening of candidates can be conducted in two ways, utilizing advanced technology to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the process. Firstly, a chatbot can be employed to engage with potential candidates in a conversational manner, evaluating their suitability for the role by assessing their skills and experience. Secondly, when dealing with a large volume of applications from various channels, AI can play a crucial role in narrowing down the list of candidates based on their skill sets, as mentioned in their resumes. This highly automated process can help identify the most qualified candidates for the role, which is challenging for a human to achieve on their own.

Candidate assessment

In the recruitment industry, AI-powered talent assessment tools are becoming increasingly popular as they offer valuable insights into the competencies and personality traits of candidates. By analyzing historical data, the company culture, and the requirements of a particular role, AI can predict the potential success of a candidate within that role or organization. This innovative approach can significantly improve the accuracy of the hiring process and minimize the risk of hiring the wrong candidate.

Candidate interview:

The process of scheduling interviews with candidates can be a lengthy and frustrating task. However, with the use of AI in the candidate interview process, this challenge can be effectively addressed. AI-enabled platforms can automatically send interview invitations and reminders to candidates, eliminating the need for recruiters to spend valuable time scheduling interviews manually.

Offer and onboarding

 AI-based tools are also revolutionizing the offer and onboarding process for HR departments. By automating certain tasks, AI makes the process more efficient and streamlined. Additionally, AI can create a personalized and engaging experience for new hires on their first day. Through a customized hiring management program, AI can provide new employees with all the necessary information they need about the company, including policies and procedures, benefits, and company culture. This approach not only saves HR departments time and effort but also ensures that new employees are well-informed and fully engaged from day one.

In conclusion, AI is transforming the world of staffing and recruiting by improving the efficiency of the hiring process, identifying the most qualified candidates, and enhancing the candidate experience. However, it’s important to use AI in a way that complements the human touch and not replaces it. The future of staffing and recruiting looks bright with AI by our side.

Casting a Green Net: The Evolution of Sustainable Recruiting Practices

This concept was first introduced by John Sullivan, a renowned HR Consultant and Professor of Management at San Francisco State University’s College of Business in June 2007. Sullivan declared, “For those looking to gain a competitive advantage in recruitment, embracing green recruiting is the path forward. It’s a ripe opportunity, especially as many companies have yet to adopt this innovative approach.”

Green recruiting is a reflection of a company’s unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability, showcased to potential hires. It’s not just a fleeting trend. Globally, an increasing number of corporations are hopping onto this eco-friendly recruitment wagon. Essentially, green recruiting promotes a recruitment process that prioritizes digital, paperless methods, reducing environmental impact to the bare minimum.

Recruitment outreach extends through online channels like email, online application forms, or global talent pools. Whenever possible, interviews are conducted via phone or video calls, curbing any potential travel-induced environmental footprint. It’s the small, daily practices at work — turning off lights and equipment when not in use, powering down desktops, choosing teleconferences over business trips, and aspiring for a paperless office — that can create a significant positive environmental shift.

Green recruiting is more than an environmentally conscious approach to hiring; it’s an opportunity for companies to distinguish themselves in a crowded recruitment landscape. Embracing green recruiting can make a company not only an appealing place to work but also a pioneering force in driving sustainable business practices.

The Generational Shift: Mastering the Art of Recruiting and Retaining Millennials and Gen Z Employees Through RPO Recruiting

In today’s rapidly changing workplace, a seismic generational shift is underway. Millennials and Generation Z are revolutionizing the labour market, disrupting over half a century of the status quo, and leaving some businesses struggling to remain relevant.
