The Business Partner You Never Knew You Needed

Your days are long, your nights short, and sometimes your wits are at an end.  You’re busy. We know how time consuming running a franchise business can be, but also how rewarding it is to step back and say, “Wow. I did that!”

Have you ever thought (or said out loud) the following things?

• Man, I wish I had more time today to get more done.
• I wish I didn’t have to spend a fortune finding and hiring the right employees.
• Why can’t things be just a little simpler?

If you said yes to any of the above, read on.

Having the right team does wonders for your efficiency, your bottom line and your sanity. But finding the right people isn’t as simple as it sounds.  Applicant tracking systems, like Hyrell, make recruiting and hiring easy and painless. How? Here are five small business challenges that can be solved with the right recruiting automation partner.

Challenge #1: Efficiency

Collecting paper and digital applications, tracking and ranking candidates with spreadsheets, and the never-ending phone and email tag necessary for scheduling interviews all lead to longer time to hire. The solution is in automation. Centralized hiring documents and a streamlined process ensure all applications and resumes are stored in one place, giving you those precious hours back in your day.

Challenge #2: Spending Too Much Money on Recruiting

Designing, creating, placing and paying for recruiting ads can be exhausting both mentally and financially, with some ads costing up to $419 per post. Now, imagine paying for a single platform that not only organizes your incoming resumes, but parses resumes, scores applicants, and also allows you to select job boards to publish to – without the need to pay for visibility. Hyrell’s applicant tracking software boasts some of the top spots in organic search rankings for our clients’ career pages. Save the money you would have used to pay for placement on job boards or newspapers and take your team out for pizza instead.

Challenge #3: Candidate Communication

On average, companies receive 250 applications for a single job opening. These applicants expect to receive timely updates about where they stand in the hiring process but emailing or calling every applicant can make your head spin. Refocus by leveraging the power of automation. An applicant tracking system automatically notifies candidate by email when their application has been received and as their applicant status changes throughout the process. Candidates stay informed, and you don’t have to notify applicants individually.

Challenge #4: Applicant Quality

Did you know, a bad hire can cost anywhere between $40,000 and $200,000? Between time and dollars spent on recruiting, training, and salaries, the wrong hire can cost you a lot of money in a hurry. An online recruiting system pre-scores and pre-qualifies job seekers, ranking each according to your set criteria, ensuring you choose the right candidate, and that time and money turns from a cost to an investment.

Challenge #5: Reporting and Data Retention

Federal regulations require employers to retain applications and related documents for at least one year. With paper-based recruiting, you’re left to deal with piles of paper documents that risk being mishandled if not stored properly. Hyrell’s platform stores documents electronically and archives applicant and hiring data. These electronic repositories contain all job postings and candidate profiles for every applicant.

From efficient use of time and saving on ads you don’t need, to hiring the right candidate with ease, the Hyrell team is here to ensure the people you hire are the best fit for your business. Why? Because that’s our business.
