Six Quick Ways To Spring Clean Your iRecruit Account

First day of Spring, time to take care of those housekeeping items that have been in the back of your mind for a while. Here are six quick ways to spring clean your iRecruit account:

1. Change your passwords. Always a good idea to change your password once every six months or so on your iRecruit applicant tracking software. iRecruit passwords should contain at least one uppercase letter and at least one numeric character.  For example JSmith87.
2. Remove old account users that are no longer with your company. If you have one ore more recruiter or hiring manager still listed in iRecruit, though they are no longer employed with you, you can delete their accounts. This will make sure you are not billed for their accounts, and secondly, perhaps most importantly, they do not have access to your applicant information. 
3. Inactivate Requisitions you are no longer working with to remove them from your Active Requisitions page. 
4. In that same vein, delete old application forms, especially ones you created as tests, and are not in use.
5. Is it time to archive old applicant data? Please let us know and we will take care of it for you. Call 1-800-517-9099 to arrange for archiving of old data whether it’s six months old, a year old or older. 
6. Attend a Recruiter Refresh class on March 30th at 2pm (Eastern Daylight Time) to brush up on your iRecruit knowledge and have any questions you have answered.  Call us at 1-800-517-9099 to join this class.

Happy Spring!

Improve Candidate Response by Updating Your iRecruit Job Application Forms

A recent HiringSite by CareerBuilder article explains some of the reasons you may not be attracting the candidates you need. You may be doing everything right, advertising in all the right places, you have a well-crafted job description and are offering a competitive salary. So, why can’t you attract the applicants you’re trying to reach?

According to CareerBuilder the top reasons applicants fail to complete online applications are usability and time constraints. CareerBuilder research shows that 34 percent of candidates who try to apply for jobs don’t complete the application process – simply because the application process is too much of a hassle. 

How do you know it’s time to update your online application form? 

1. Your disclosure and applicant statement are out of date 
2. You’re asking for too much information 
3. You’re asking for not enough information 
4. You’re not being specific enough to the position 
5. You want to improve your candidate experience 

If any of these strike a chord with you, it may be time to make some changes.

With iRecruit Applicant Tracking Software your online job application forms are completely flexible and can be tied to specific job openings.

During the early stages of an application ask yourself “What information do we really need from our candidates?” Make a list of everything you think you require. Then pare it down. Do you need applicants to spend time filling out every field? Is Social Security Number required from people you may never speak with? Do you need to collect reference information, or licenses?

Requiring applicants to give you everything but the kitchen sink on an application can be time consuming for them and a waste of time for you if you still don’t get what you need.

Print out your iRecruit application page, if it prints on to more than three or four pages, it may be too long. Shorter forms are less of a hassle to complete and more user-friendly for applicants using mobile devices including smart phones or iPads. (Example iRecruit Application Form)



To help cut down on applicants who don’t meet your absolute minimum requirements use pre-screening questions on your job listing.  A few well-chosen updates may be all it takes to improve your candidate pool and increase response rate.
