Global recruitment software provider, JobAdder, has released a new Opportunity Pipeline integration to capture and manage all candidates in one place, remove hiring inefficiencies and optimise business development at a time when the war for talent is fierce.
This latest development follows a recent survey conducted by the firm which revealed that business development is the third most challenging issue for recruitment agencies, with sourcing candidates coming up top and maintaining candidates ranking second. When asked about the specific challenges to business development, recruiters replied that they are hindered by irregular communications and a lack of organisation, leaving them time-poor and forced to rely on memory to juggle tasks.
As Rob Brodie, Head of Corporate Sales at JobAdder explains, this new integration will capture, manage and oversee all business development activity without leaving JobAdder:
“With skills shortages rife, recruitment agencies must focus on being efficient and organised when optimising business development if they hope to keep applicants engaged. The challenge for many is that information is often hosted in numerous locations – with communication going out via emails, spreadsheets, company applicant tracking systems and much more.
“By integrating the Opportunity Pipeline, recruiters will be provided with quick information and insights into leads and opportunities without having to move to any external platforms, saving timew and providing a seamless experience, which will be crucial for optimising business development and securing top talent.”
