Why Automating Your Recruitment Process? Recruitment is an essential part of any business, and it can be time-consuming and expensive. In the previous part we discussed Applicant Tracking Systems, today let’s take a look at contact finding tools.
According to Jobvite, approximately 7 to 10 days are spent sourcing talent for one position.
Recruiters are not hired to spend ⅓ of their time on researching candidate sources, they are hired to engage with candidates and facilitate the recruitment process.

A contact finder, will shorten the time to find a candidates contact details, verify the data and enable to sort and export contact lists.
