How does :Recruit work?

Create advertisements

Through :Recruit, you can easily create job advertisements. You’ll be able to post your job advertisements to your website and job boards, as well as view and screen all applicants.

Manage campaigns

If you have any current talent acquisition campaigns being managed by Scout Talent, you’ll be able to view them within :Recruit. You will also be able to create and edit additional campaigns.

Setup automations

:Recruit allows you to view each application and interact with the candidate at every stage of the talent acquisition process. Save time with automations that streamline the shortlisting & selection process, and communicate with applicants via branded emails.

Track your applications

You can also use :Recruit to manually rate applications, make notes, and review responses to determine your top candidates. Every action is tracked, so you can set tasks for your team members and you’ll be able to view the progress of each candidate at every stage of your talent acquisition process.

Email notifications

Through :Recruit, you can get email notifications every time an application comes through for a job. This is highly beneficial for jobs where there aren’t going to be a high volume of applicants – so you don’t have to keep logging in. 

How can :Recruit help you?

A lack of time, money or staff can have you cutting corners. With :Recruit, you maximise your recruitment capabilities and streamline the process.

Do it better

If your current talent acquisition strategy isn’t reaching enough candidates, let alone the right fit, :Recruit is the perfect solution to expand your audience and build your talent pool.

Do it for less

Unlike hiring through traditional recruiters, :Recruit empowers your team to make multiple hires efficiently and affordably.
