HR platform: Using the recruitment module to manage your organisations open roles

Overview

A recruitment module helps companies organise candidates for hiring and recruitment purposes. These systems allow businesses to collect information, organise prospects based on experience and skill set, and filter applicants. There are many benefits of using such a module, and you can expect to see metrics like time, cost, and candidate quality improve.

The Recruitment Management feature allows you to post job openings out and manage the applicants that applied to a job posting. The feature also allows you to add collaborators to a specific hiring stage, designate a hiring manager who can manage the entire hiring process and comment on an applicant's progress, meaning you can keep your hiring notes in one place.
