As quoted by Erik Qualman, “The power of social media is, it forces necessary change.”

We live in a world that is dynamic and fast-paced, which also means that change is the only constant that we are always looking for.

Recruitment Smart has introduced one such transformation in the recruitment industry that will expedite the entire process with much more efficacy and productivity.

Sniper AI, the number one automated resume screening tool, has come up with a new feature of social media integration which is going to give new strength to the entire recruitment process.

Apps like WeChat, Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook messenger, etc are primarily known as messaging apps, however, with AI and recruitment swiftly capturing the corporate market, social media platform integration could be the next big thing in recruitment.

What is social media integration all about?

We are running on online systems today, and with everything going digital, we believe it’s absolutely necessary to level up the automated recruitment platforms in a way that seamlessly connects through all geographies. 

The users are operating different messaging apps in different parts of the world.

As much as Sniper AI is all set to integrate all the platforms that are being used in the global market, Whatsapp is one platform that has maximum stability.

According to a survey, 1.5 billion people send about 65 billion messages on Whatsapp every day, which has an open rate of over 99%, compared to email which has an open rate of only 12%-30%.

Considering the above, Recruitment Smart has come up with a system where recruiters will now be able to connect with the candidates on their messaging app via a Recruitment Smart bot, which is going to serve as a digital assistant to both parties, the recruiter and the candidate.

Interestingly, in addition to the messaging apps, it will also support social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc.

However, Whatsapp being one of the most preferred platforms amongst users, it tops our list too.

How does this digital assistant work?

The prime objective of introducing this digital assistant is to cut down on the extensive process that a recruiter has to go through after an applicant has been shortlisted.

Here is where the Recruitment Smart bot or the digital assistant comes as a savior.

Once a candidate is shortlisted, the next usual step of a recruiter is to understand the candidature effectively and a little more in detail.

The good news now is that the recruiter no more needs to make that lengthy phone call to the candidate. 

The bot is going to save the recruiter a lot of such hours.

Let’s know the step by step process of this integration feature :

1. The Recruitment Smart bot is going to send a link to the selected applicant on his/her Whatsapp number (or on the social media platform mentioned by the candidate)
2. Once the conversation is started between the bot and the candidate, keeping the process simple enough, the candidate has to just type and send the answers to the questions asked by the bot.
3. The questions are going to be in a multiple-choice format, making it easier for the candidate to answer them.
4. Once all the questions are answered, the recruiter will have all the primary information about the candidate such as his/her skill set, location preferences, years of experience, and so on.
5. Lastly, if the applicant is further shortlisted on the basis of the responses, he/she will be contacted for the additional hiring process by the recruiter.

The top-most convenience for companies here is that the questions can be thoroughly customized and patterned according to the particular set of requirements that they may have.

In addition to this, a copy of the applicant’s responses will be recorded with Recruitment Smart as well as the company’s database.

Why the Recruitment Smart bot is going to be a game-changer for your company?

Our digital assistant is going to radically scale your interview process and get you to hold of the most promising candidates.

Integrating distinctive messaging apps with the resume screening tool is taking one step closer towards equitable hiring, as the bot identifies only the true skills of a candidate.

However, Whatsapp is the most-used platform across the globe where, as per stats, messages are read within 5 minutes.

Leveraging chatbots for recruitment is a win-win situation for a company’s HR department as well as the candidate.

Where it allows a recruiter to save numerous phone calls and hundreds of hours, it also checks off the mundane job of taking a pre-interview round.

The candidates are pleased as they can pass through the basic interview round at their own comfort.

Such social platforms integration has certainly emerged as a promising solution for large businesses, and in this era of virtual recruitments, having a digital assistant like the Recruitment Smart bot can give your company a competitive edge and help you draw the most sought-after candidates in no time.
