Recruiters' View of Job Application Websites
Can someone post/explain the other side of tech job application websites like Taleo, Workday, Lever? To get an idea what fields are more prominent, so I can focus on those. And any other info, such as how applicants are shown. (list, hidden, does recruiters have to search keywords?, keywords from resume?, or keywords from fields of the job application?)
I use iCIMS Honestly I like to search for keywords within search strings. Could be languages, hardware, previous employers, schools, organizations, etc. I then review resumes against my basic qualifications and similar experiences and decide whether or not to reach out. I like to sort my candidates based on activity and usually try to reach out to people who have been active between 31-90 days as they are most likely to respond. I dont mess with 0-30 because it usually means the candidate is working woth or is owned by another recruiter. I use all keywords from your resume and obviously depends on the role.
Thank you for a detailed response!!! Please reconsider looking at "0-30" folks. It can indicate someone going through a reorg/management change and just starting their job search process. That's what happened to me, and I got aggressively recruited :)
Nutmufnz, do you look at all resumes in the system? Or just the ones that applied to the specific role?
Use jobscan.co to optimize your resume for applicant tracking software (ATS).
