4 ways to effectively manage applications for SEEK
SEEK’s candidate management platform takes the time and effort out of sorting through applications and shortlisting the best candidates for your role.
Here are four ways our free candidate management platform can help you streamline your hiring process.
1. Candidate selection tools
Shortlisting is a crucial step in the selection process, but reviewing resumes and cover letters one by one is a time-consuming way to uncover the most relevant talent.
SEEK’s candidate management platforms help you work smarter by placing the most suitable candidates for the job you are advertising front and centre. They organise applicants into a list with the most relevant applicants on top, so you can more easily create a candidate shortlist starting with the most suitable resumes and cover letters first – and quickly identify who you’d like to speak to.
2. Screening and filtering candidates
The best person for the job is in that pile of applications, and a candidate management platform will help you find them faster by filtering out those who don't meet your requirements.
SEEK’s platform can help you select screening questions to include, such as a particular qualification or experience, based on the role you’re advertising. With the most relevant candidates at the top of the pile, you’ll only need to review those that match what you’re looking for.
3. Candidate credential verification
A shortlist should only include candidates who meet the requirements of the job – and that includes specific credentials.
Using SEEK Pass, you can save time by identifying 'job- ready' candidates with verified credentials that meet your role's minimum requirements. For example, if your role requires a driver's license or a right to work check, look for the SEEK Pass verified tick on these claims within the candidate's profile. This provides confidence in their suitability and helps streamline the shortlisting process.
You can save time by identifying 'job-ready' candidates that have been pre-verified to meet the role's minimum requirements . So, if your role requires a driver's license or right to work checks, then we will identify these credentials within the candidate's profile.
4. An easier way to ‘close the loop’
Keeping candidates informed during the hiring process can help to build and uphold a positive impression of your business and employer brand.
Rather than contacting each applicant individually, SEEK’s platform includes a bulk emailing feature. You can choose the candidates you wish to contact, and create a standard email to send to them – for example, one that thanks them for their application and lets them know that they’ve been unsuccessful. It’s a valuable time-saving tool that helps you close the loop.
A candidate management platform can provide valuable time-saving tools for your hiring process. It can do the heavy lifting by creating a list with the most relevant, qualified applicants on top. Make sure the platform you use has these useful features, so you can save time on these tasks and invest your energy where it’s needed most.
