Recently, that adage about quality, time, and cost has been making its way around the internet. If you’re unfamiliar, it goes like this:
- You can have something done good and cheap, but it won’t be fast.
- Or, you can have something done fast and cheap, but it won’t be good.
- Or, you can have something done good and fast, but it won’t be cheap.
The idea is that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You have to pick an area of your process or final product to compromise on to give your customers what they want in another area.
With the current expectations on TA teams to prioritize cost-effectiveness while also meeting the increased needs for seasonal and growth-based hiring, many people are starting to face a similar problem.
We Know That the Best Hiring Systems Are a Combination of Three Things: Personal Connections, Quick Processes, and Cost-Effectiveness
For the sake of simplicity, let’s make this adage TA friendly and assess our options:
- You can have a hiring process that is relationship-oriented and cost-effective, but it won’t be quick.
- Or, you can have a hiring process that is cost-effective and quick, but it won’t have the same relational development.
- Or, you can have a hiring process that is set up to promote relational connections and move quickly, but it won’t be cost-effective.
But, what if you didn’t have to pick just two? What if you really could have it all.
So, maybe not, like, all of it. We can’t tell you how to eat right and get to the gym, sleep nine hours a night and have a social life, crush it at work and disconnect well, live in a city and spend time in nature, stay up-to-date on trends and not be inundated with the internet… It’s hard!
BUT, what we do know is that you can create your dream hiring process to transform your candidate engagement, reduce ghosting, and hire faster without having to reinvent the wheel.
Here’s the 💡 moment…
You Can Use Technology to Scale a Personalized Recruiting Process and Better Connect with Your Talent Pool
Imagine this: Without hiring another recruiter—or, well, ten you could 10x a single recruiter’s bandwidth…
Or, what if you could deliver white-glove service to all your hourly applicants without hiring a whole new recruiting team?
It’s 2022, and while we’re not living like the Jetsons quite yet, here are a few tricks to help you leverage Grayscale’s technology to create a scalable, personable, and quick recruiting process.
Automate the Monotonous
“Congrats! Randi, you’re moving to the next phase. Please complete your background check at this link and we’ll be in touch with your next steps!”
How many emails/texts/phone calls are you making that say this exact same thing? With stage change automations, you can reach out to your candidates without a second thought as you move them through the pipeline.
Stage change automations make it easy to stay in touch without disrupting your workflow or distracting you with manual, repetitive, and mundane tasks. ⚡
Get to Know Your Candidates
As you connect with your candidates through automations, they can reply directly to you to build a personal connection and ask questions. You become a trusted advisor in their process instead of another Joe Schmo trying to wow them.
With the convenience of one-on-one messages, you can send tailored follow-ups to conversations in an approachable manner to help promote team connection.
The best part? You can access your Grayscale inbox from your browser, in your ATS, or on your phone via our mobile app. Your candidates won’t be stuck waiting to hear from you for long!
Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge
“Hey there, just wanted to check in and remind you to complete your background check! LMK if you have any questions!”
Are you spending hours each day reminding people to follow through on asks/requests? Well, what if you didn’t have to? What if you could set up a couple of nudges and never think about it again?
With all that time back in your day, you can work at double, triple, or maybe even 10x your previous speed.
Sure, many people want to believe they can’t have it all, but with some small tweaks to your process—and better technology for your team—you can, in fact, have your cake and eat it too. 🍰
