With almost 20 years of being in the industry and developing our own hiring strategies, we know the challenge you’re facing when it comes to recruitment. Finding the ideal candidate isn’t simple. That’s why at Bayt.com we have tailored our technologies to include more than just the essential services such as job posts and CV search. What really makes Bayt.com stand out are the advanced features and tools that accompany our job postings and CV search. Check out this list of game-changing tools found on Bayt.com and make sure you’re getting the most from your recruitment strategy.
1. The Lie Detector
Have you ever looked at a CV, gotten so excited about this person, immediately scheduled an interview, talked to all your colleagues about them (okay, maybe this is taking it a little far), only to realize during the interview that their CV wasn’t at all accurate. Understandably, this is a situation everyone wants to avoid. This is why we created the Employer Test function to verify everyone’s proclaimed skills.
Here is an example: Only two applicants scored 100% on our English Grammar test when we were hiring for Bayt.com’s communications department. Guess who we hired? Both of them. So whether you need a math whiz or someone with exceptional language skills, test your candidates with Employer Tests before spending the time and money on an interview.
There is nothing worse when it comes to recruitment than inviting a candidate in for an interview, or, worse, hiring them, only to realize their CVs have completely overstated their actual qualifications. Avoid this frustration by taking preventative measures and testing your candidates first using this tool.
2. The Genie’s Lamp
Did you see a dream candidate a few months ago but completely forgot their name or what position you were even considering them for? Yeah, it happens more than you think. Organization is key for anything in business and life. It is especially key for effective recruitment and to avoid missing out on great candidates.
Whether you’re hiring for multiple positions or timelines, using CV Folders can help you sort candidates for easy reference. If you really like a candidate but do not have a current job vacancy, save them for later in a “Future Candidates for X Position” folder. Through using this tool wisely and effectively, you can cut down your current and future recruitment time significantly. Soon, all you’ll have to do is wish to fulfill a position, et voila there’s your perfect hire.
3. The Firewall
And now, we give you our next amazing tool. After putting up your job posting, you can use filters that automatically screen out any candidates who do not meet the qualifications that you have specified.
We know that companies of different sizes have different needs. Some companies struggle in getting a sizeable number of applications, while other companies receive so many applications that quickly and efficiently reviewing them is near impossible. Filters cater to all business types so that if you are in the latter category, you can reduce a large number of applications into a shorter, more manageable list of quality applications.
4. The Magic 8 Ball
If the information given on a CV isn’t quite what you’re looking for but you don’t feel that giving a test is necessary, then we have the perfect in-between tool for you. You can create your own questionnaire templates by adding customized questions that are important to you. Additionally, if you have any really critical questions, you can mark them as “knockout” so that any candidate who answers the question incorrectly will be removed from the application pool. You can send these to your candidates before deciding which ones to shortlist or call in for an interview before you even review their CV. This will ultimately help you get the answers that you really want from your candidates in no time.
5. The Dashboard
Are you trying to update or create a new recruitment strategy but don’t know where to start? Your dashboard is a great way to see where your strengths and weaknesses are in recruiting! There are dozens of features here that can help you modify your job posting or employer branding to attract the talent you need.
For instance, you can use the “Applicants Breakdown” section to see if you’re attracting the demographics you desire. If you see that you’re getting too many applications from candidates with the wrong career level or education level, it might be an indication that you should alter your job description or add a filter to your job posting to ensure that you only receive relevant applications that exactly match your specifications.
6. The Boost
Are you a small business with an even smaller budget or barely any budget at all because you’re just starting up? We’ve been there too. There is no need to worry, however, because Bayt.com has your back with Jobs Lite.
We understand that small businesses and startups are the backbones of our economy and provide meaningful and important jobs for the region. That’s why we have jobs lite to make the best and most important tools in recruiting accessible to our small businesses. While Jobs Lite doesn’t have all the features of our Classic Job Posts, it allows small businesses to post two job postings a month for free.
If you’re a small business, check it out here. We are confident that once you’ve been able to build an incredible team with a little boost from us, you’ll be on your way up to bigger and better success.
7. The Magic Wand
Have you ever found yourself typing and editing notification letters to your candidates for hours? If you’re receiving dozens of applications and want to be an employer who responds to every single one (or at least most of them!), then this can be an all-day kind of effort. Well, you can stop the manual labor! On Bayt com, our Letters tool has templates that you can choose from to easily send acceptance or rejection letters to your applicants with little effort on your part.
Do templates not have what you’re looking for? Create your own letters to send out to your candidates. Each letter will be automatically customized with your candidates’ names, so you can spend less time copying, pasting, and typing and you can spend more time on what really matters. Ta-da, just like that your recruitment process has been made much simpler.
At Bayt.com, we want to give you the tools to start and stay organized, save time, money and effort, and finally hire great candidates. If you’re a small business or big business, renowned or emerging, privy to a limited budget or considerable budget, there are many hiring solutions tailored just for you! And you can check them out here.
Finally, sound off in the comments below. You are the expert, so we want to hear from you. What are the most challenging setbacks you have faced in the recruitment process? Have you already used any of these tools, and if so, how did they help you? Do you have any advice for entrepreneurs and startups that are just now breaking into the job market?
And, as always, good luck and happy hiring!
