It’s inevitable when you start a business that you want to keep your costs down but for most recruitment agencies, this is only feasible until a certain point. The point at which you need to implement recruitment software can vary depending on your business and requirements but here are seven common signs it’s time to nab yourself a recruitment CRM.
Your business is growing
If your database is expanding, the figures on the board are increasing and the number of employees is growing then it’s a telling sign that you need to start thinking about investing in recruitment software. Spreadsheets and free CRMs are great to get you going but there comes a point where you need a robust system to propel your business and processes forwards.
You want to improve efficiency
If spreadsheets just aren’t cutting it, your staff are spending too much time on admin and your workflow is long-winded, it’s definitely time for a recruitment CRM. By automating your processes and dramatically reducing administrative tasks, recruiters will have the chance to focus more on business development, building relationships and making placements. And that’s exactly what you want them to be doing, right?
You use multiple applications for different tasks
If you’ve got Outlook, Excel, Word, Chrome, Teams, PSL portals and goodness knows what else open at all times, you seriously need a CRM. Having to use this many applications to do your job makes things difficult to manage and extremely inefficient when you could have it all within one central system. How much easier does that sound?
You’ve got data all over the place
As well as using multiple applications for your work, you might also have data stored in an array of different folders and spreadsheets. This isn’t exactly the most secure way to hold personal data (let’s not forget about GDPR) and it’s not easily accessible or efficient either. Having all your client and candidate data in one database for everyone to see will make finding records, searching for the perfect candidate and ensuring compliance much easier.
