Job portals are online platforms that bring together resumes and profiles of people with different professionals, specialties and backgrounds. These platforms offer several advantages, such as the standardization of information in a common format, the possibility for companies to post job offers and for candidates to apply directly through the portal.

Job portals are massive and inclusive tools, allowing anyone to apply and are easy to use for both organizations and applicants.

Benefits:

• They reduce costs and time compared to traditional recruitment methods.
• They offer search filters, facilitate the sharing of information among the selection team and speed up the hiring process.
• They provide more information about the positions and organizations to potential candidates.

Social networks and other tools.

In addition to job portals, we can take advantage of different technological tools to modernize our talent selection process. Here are some examples:

LinkedIn: It is a professional social network that simplifies the search for talent and facilitates contact with like-minded professionals. It is an essential platform for recruitment and job networking.

Video-conference: In job interviews, we are often faced with the challenge of interviewing candidates who are not in our own city. In these cases, technology plays a crucial role. Applications such as Skype or Hangouts allow us to conduct interviews for free, quickly and effectively.

Videotape interviews: This tool allows for pre-recorded video interviews, where the recruiter establishes a series of questions that the candidates answer while they are being recorded. Unlike videoconferences, it is not necessary to agree on a specific schedule, which speeds up the recruitment process.

Recruitment 2.0

What is it? It is an evolution of the traditional model of personnel recruitment that seeks to attract talent more efficiently and take advantage of new technologies. It includes the use of social networks as recruitment sources, as well as the implementation of tools and applications that streamline different stages of the selection process. The idea is to adapt and take advantage of technological innovations to improve talent attraction and optimize recruitment.

Advantages over traditional personnel selection.

• Increases the reach of offers: This not only involves posting the offers on these platforms, but also leveraging the power of sharing so that others can spread the opportunities among their contacts.
• Provides additional information: About candidates, especially through social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. These platforms offer a broader view of applicants, allowing companies to verify their reputation and obtain more details about them. It is estimated that up to 80% of companies check candidates’ social networks during selection processes.
• It allows to obtain passive candidates: Those people who are not looking for a job but who, given a good offer, might consider changing companies.
• Saves time and costs: Online recruitment is faster and cheaper than traditional methods. The use of software makes it possible to filter candidates, avoid duplication and generate recruitment reports. In addition, it allows you to measure the return on investment (ROI) and generate reports on the time spent on a specific recruitment process, among other aspects.
• Generate optimized databases: Bizneo HR software saves the resumes that are valid but have not been finally chosen for a position, for later occasions.
