Getting the right people, skilled and knowledgeable, is crucial for any company, regardless of its size. We say so because if your recruitment approach compromises on quality, time, and expense, you’ll waste valuable resources for years to come.

Companies unanimously believe that relevant data helps them redefine their hiring approach. The process further solidifies when they can match ideal candidates against the open job roles according to their skills. Ironically, not many Salesforce recruiters understand the meaning and benefits of search and match technology in the recruitment process. This, thus, hinders the otherwise seamless digital transition of a recruitment process in a company.     

To assist you in bringing efficiency to your recruitment approach, here’s almost everything you need to know about matching technology.

What Does Matching Technology Mean In The World of Recruitment?

In a common recruitment scenario, whenever a company posts a listing for an open job position, the inbox almost immediately gets flooded with job applications. As a hiring manager, it comes upon your shoulders to weed through hundreds of resumes and finds a candidate who fits all the criteria you’re looking for.

If it may sound like a cakewalk, the actual job is far from simple.

This is where the matching technology in Salesforce can ease the candidate selection process.

An array of evaluations is used to assess the candidates through numerous competencies that are significant for the job’s success. The matched candidate database from these assessments allows the talent acquisition professionals to make an objective-based candidate hiring decision.

The hiring managers get a chance to efficiently identify the candidates who need to be taken to the next step of the recruitment process.

All in all, matching technology does the dirty work, and all you’re left with to do is evaluate the candidates who match the requisites and further judge how they will fit the role.

Why Replace Manual Resume Matching?

This is a question frequently raised by proficient recruiters and HR managers. While manual resume matching has yielded successful placements, it can be time-consuming and challenging. Incorporating the right software into your recruitment workflow can significantly enhance your efficiency and free up valuable time.

It's important to note that this software doesn't replace you or your expertise but rather complements it by enabling you to identify suitable candidates more quickly, ensuring they don't slip through the cracks.

Consider the scenario where you must review 100 applications to find that one candidate who has all the desired and specific qualifications. Even if you're fast, it may take you an hour or two. However, with a resume-matching tool powered by machine learning, this task can be completed in seconds.

So How Does AI Matching Change The Recruiting Ballgame?

• Refining Time-to-Hire Metrics:

AI candidate matching automates the whole process by using algorithms, keywords, and semantic analysis, swiftly identifying the most qualified candidates for job openings. This can reduce time-to-hire by up to 45%, allowing recruiters to work more effectively and competently.       

• Shunning Bias and Diversifying the Hiring Approach:

Machine learning recruiters mitigate the risk of human bias by relying on data, predefined parameters, and specific keywords in the automated matching process. Additional features such as anonymous feedback options and restrictions on demographic data visibility further contribute to reducing bias and promoting diversity.

• Enabling Data-driven Decisions:

Machine learning recruiters empower recruiters to make data-driven decisions regarding the recruiting process. By analyzing extensive data and automating recruiting tasks, recruiters can become more proactive and measure key performance indicators (KPIs) like time-to-hire and quality of hire. Understanding these metrics facilitates informed decisions in developing and enhancing recruiting strategies.

• Enhancing the Prospects of Successful Hires:

Machine learning recruiters increase the probability of making successful hires. Through custom algorithms and analytics, these tools ensure that only the most qualified candidates are matched, saving time and energy for both candidates and recruiters. The combination of human expertise and machine capabilities enables recruiters to make faster and more informed decisions, reducing the likelihood of unsuccessful matches and increasing the likelihood of successful placements.
