How are you preparing for the influx of candidate applications? We suggest making a list of technologies that can assist with remote recruiting. During the COVID-19 crisis, the safety of employees and candidates required shifting to remote capabilities. Whilst a number of hiring tasks will be completed face-to-face, a lot of tasks can easily be completed remotely now with smart technology. Recruitment tools that were once seen as a nice-to-have, have now become essential. Dispersed HR and recruitment personnel working from home have continued to function effectively because they have been quick to adopt these tools. Below we present a… Read More
With the current influx of applications for jobs, how much harder and stressful will it be for traditional recruiters to pinpoint the best hires without the help of technology? If you work in recruiting or HR, these past weeks have been very difficult for you, whether you are working in an essential industry, managing your tasks from home, or simply preparing for what will happen next. And what will happen next is very important to all of us. ABS Measuring the labour market impacts of COVID-19 With millions out of work and many businesses shuttered – and many others looking… Read More
Locating a skilled candidate can be one thing, but finding someone who is happy to stay in a new position is another. Without the right tools to predict an applicant’s compatibility to a role you are left with a guessing game which has historically resulted in costly employee turnover. Hiring managers have an incredible amount of applicant information available to them, however Gartner has reported that only 21% of human resource managers feel their companies are using talent analytics enough to make informed business decisions. Predictive analytics in recruitment can provide insight to enhance the effectiveness of your recruitment and… Read More
Is reading resumes and conducting interviews really the best way to get the right people in the right places in our organisation? Is it, as many might say, the gold standard – the measure against which everything else should be compared? Research suggests otherwise[1] , especially when considering the inescapable cognitive biases with which we are all inextricably burdened [2]. CuriousThing, an autonomous, AI and machine learning driven spoken-word interviewing system seeks to bring objectivity into the equation, removing bias and improving Inclusion and Diversity as a result.

One of our wonderful Expr3ssors! shared this awesome image with me this week… Can you spot the map pins? They show applicants from all over the World looking for work with one of our seasonal employers. The pin colours signify the progress of the applicant to interview via one-way video and SmartShortlist TM. Another customer uses mapping to identify people close to the worksite so as to offer them casual work that’s ideal for students fitting shifts around school. What could you be using Map Applicants for? Collect an address from any applicant and see a map like this. Look… Read More
The Easybeats were right, we do have Friday on our minds. And why not? The end of the week finally gets here, with fun to come and the whole weekend to do what you want. Everyone loves Fridays, it’s playtime! And everybody includes your applicants! They want to have fun on Fridays too. They would rather think about the fun ahead, not looking at job ads. They do that on the boss’s time.So why do we still place job ads on Fridays? Our data here at Expr3ss! tells us that there is a remarkable fall off in the number of… Read More
A national retailer has slashed its recruitment advertising spend by 95% and vastly improved its candidates’ cultural fit since automating its screening and selection processes. Spendless Shoes national store development and marketing manager Jaimee Charlton has become an advocate for selection software Expr3ss! since her company introduced it 10 years ago, but says she still encounters many Talent Acquisition teams fearful of using technology to streamline their functions. “There is a bit of nervousness about, ‘well what’s my job if it’s not reading resumes?’, and I just think there’s so much more important work you can do.” The employers likely to achieve the greatest… Read More
According to recent research, two major industries are experiencing high-demand for talent.
