Hiring Talent Faster & Easier

Start improving your performance and bottom line while finding the best-qualified talent.

As a Talent Acquisition or Human Resources leader, you have many responsibilities, such as:

Improve EEOC / OFCCP compliance and reduce audit liability

Solution:

Produce specific, objective, and non-biased data on every applicant, including detailed data associated with an applicant’s qualifications for a particular role. And all that without the recruiter doing any work to produce that data.

How SmartRank Helps:

In SmartRank, applicants stack-rank themselves through a numerical score by answering role-specific questions created by hiring managers. Talent Acquisition leaders can provide specific and objective data on one or multiple applicants within seconds to demonstrate why they moved forward or dispositioned certain applicants.

 

GET STARTED

Meaningful DE&I progress (at the top of the hiring funnel)

Many leaders and organizations want to put forth significant change regarding DE&I, but most initiatives in this area come up short because of too much reliance on the single largest source of unconscious bias, the resume. In addition, recruiter biases ensure that not every applicant gets the same equal opportunity for an interview.

Solution:

Stop using traditional Applicant Tracking Systems that show applicant names and still use resumes to assess talent.

How SmartRank Helps:

We don’t use a resume to assess talent. Instead, we use consistent role-specific questions and mask applicant names and other demographic information. Hence, all applicants have a fair chance of getting an interview.

 

GET STARTED

Easy and practical reporting

Most Applicant Tracking Systems are notorious for not providing relevant reporting data needed to demonstrate team performance and achievement of goals, due to minimal data collection—leading to a lack of functional reporting. Consequently, leaders must manually extract data from the tracking system to produce reports.

Solution:

Capture data at each stage of the hiring and dispositioning process, from applicant screening scores to hiring manager sentiments, to the number of applicants interviewed, interview scoring, withdrawn applications, and everything else.

How SmartRank Helps:

SmartRank manages applicants at each stage in the application process in addition to the typical requisition. Data on each applicant gets tracked, allowing easy data extraction and reporting.

Increase efficiency and effectiveness of your recruiting team

Recruiters are known for having too much work and insufficient time to complete it. This stems from the countless tedious tasks they must complete daily to find qualified applicants, and asking recruiters to manually match keywords while they review resumes and screen applicants is a surefire way to burn out your team.

Solution:

Automate manual tasks and stop asking recruiters to review applicants’ resumes to match keywords on the job description.

How SmartRank Helps:

We automate almost every aspect of a recruiter’s job, including screening and selecting applicants, sending candidates for hiring manager review and receiving feedback, and interview scheduling and feedback, amongst many other areas.

 

GET STARTED

Improve hiring manager engagement

Traditional applicant tracking systems focus primarily on cataloging resumes. This leaves hiring managers with uncertainty about whether specific requirements for a role are being considered, and no desire to review redundant resumes or interview applicants who do not have the basic qualifications for the role. Feedback is usually only ever provided if it’s quick, easy, and effective.

Solution:

Enable hiring managers to be more active in the screening and selection, encouraging them to provide feedback quickly and easily.

How SmartRank Helps:

SmartRank enables hiring managers to create specific screening questions that provide them with the exact information they need about each applicant. This detailed information, along with hiring manager engagement tools, allows hiring managers to quickly and easily provide feedback on applicants and interviews.

 

GET STARTED

Better applicant experience

There are many aspects of the traditional applicant experience that drives applicants away. For example, applicants don’t like antiquated systems that lack a mobile-first experience or do not provide immediate feedback on the status of the application. Applicants don’t enjoy creating a new profile with the same information for every company they apply to. The overall time it takes an applicant to complete the application process should be minimal. If your application process takes more than 15 minutes, the number of completed applications will be reduced by more than half.

Solution:

By 2025, 75% of the workforce will be millennials or younger, so clearly, the applicant experience must be mobile-first, quick, easy, and streamlined through a modern web interface. In addition, applicants expect to receive immediate notifications about the status of their applications.

How SmartRank Helps:

SmartRank has a mobile-first and highly intuitive interface that takes most applicants roughly eight minutes to complete. Having qualification scores associated with each applicant allows recruiters to notify them quickly and easily if they are moving forward or not in the hiring process.

 

GET STARTED

Passively recruit with high predictability

Most Applicant Tracking Systems serve as a repository of applicants and resumes and therefore struggle to provide insightful data about their applicants. Mining your database is even more crucial when there is minimal applicant flow.

Solution:

Access specific data about the applicant’s qualifications to correlate existing and future requisitions.

How SmartRank Helps:

SmartRank can mine the database of applicants’ answers to precise questions and determine recommended applicants with high precision. Instead of passively recruiting on job boards, companies can use SmartRank to identify top applicants in their existing database.

Enter SmartRank

SmartRank’s approach to screening completely replaces the job description and resume with a truly objective and inclusive ranking system. By removing the resume, SmartRank effectively removes the unconscious bias that is typically generated by it. SmartRank also incorporates ratings into the pre-screening process with its novel colleague rating feature.

Additional innovative tools help bridge the gap between talent acquisition teams and hiring managers. By bolstering the communication and engagement with hiring managers, talent acquisition teams can make better and faster decisions on top talent.

SmartRank then combines human intelligence and Machine Learning (ML) to weight selected data so that applicant scores correlate to attrition and performance data. This continuous feedback loop helps humans to create increasingly high-signal inputs that can better prevent regretful hires and predict top talent in the future.
