What is Talent Acquisition?

Talent acquisition is the process of finding and hiring the right people for your company or clients. A talent acquisition system allows you to develop a robust pipeline for sourcing, screening, interviewing, and evaluating candidates. Usually, talent acquisition is referred to as a function of talent procurement, but it also involves talent tracking, forecasting, assessment, and development.

What is the difference between recruitment and talent acquisition?

Talent acquisition software allows you to hire the right candidates faster, but it also allows you to change the attitude around hiring in your organization. It becomes less about just filling open positions and more about assessing career paths and building employee-employer relationships. This means the person you hire is more likely to enjoy working at your organization. Better employee satisfaction reduces turnover, saving you the time, money, and effort needed to constantly hire and train new people.

Here are just some of the ways Zoho Recruit, our talent acquisition software, can help you:

Create a strong employer brand

Make the first best impression with a beautiful career site. Ensure your company's website, culture, and social media profiles appeal to your candidates.

Expand company outreach

Instead of getting lost on endless job boards, enhance your search for candidates instantly with Source Boosters and quickly access resumes with a single drag and drop.

Analyze and improve acquisition

Powerful recruiting analytics help you explore every aspect of your business, turn data into actionable insights, and make better recruiting decisions.

Talent strategy planning

  • Match skillsets

  • Assessing competency

  • Culture fit

  • Diversity and inclusion

Match skillsets

The most important filter for shortlisting potential candidates is to find people with the required skillsets. Finding the perfect match becomes effortless with Zia. Grade and rank candidates by comparing experience, skills, and proficiencies with your job requirements.

Match skillsetsMatch skillsets

Assess competency

Finding the right fit is about more than reviewing resumes. Make informed decisions by conducting screening tests with Zoho Recruit's assessment module. Our integrations with top assessing platforms help you shortlist candidates effectively.

Assessing competency

Culture fit

Creating an employee value proposition and reflecting it clearly on your platforms is key to attracting the right talent to your organization. Create a window into your company's culture by constructing a custom career site with Zoho Recruit.

Culture fit

Diversity and inclusion

A big part of being more inclusive is consciously minimizing hiring bias. Zoho Recruit simplifies this by standardizing the selection process and making it transparent to all hiring stakeholders.

#1:

Recruiters face difficulties finding the right cultural fit for their organization. Especially with the rise of gig economy, they are struggling to reach millennials and Gen Z. Zoho Recruit allows you to create a career site that portrays your brand, improving candidate experience.

#2:

Hiring managers are forced to rely on saturated job boards and staffing agencies to select candidates. They can now extensively explore features like employee referrals and source boosters to secure talent.

#3:

Sourcing talent, scheduling interviews, evaluating assessments—everything can be automated with Zoho Recruit. Use our talent recruitment system to simplify or eliminate time-consuming, manual tasks.

#4:

Creating great candidate experience is a top priority for any recruiter. The importance of retaining high performing employees is now higher than ever due to the age of jobs in today's economy. Track hiring success and optimize the process of hiring with our recruiting KPIs.

#5:

According to SHRM's latest survey, the average time required to fill an open job position is about 41 days. Knowing key recruiting metrics helps you track metrics like time-to-fill, time-to-hire, and job acceptance rate, helping recruiters make data-driven decisions.

#6:

Job market power has shifted towards candidates. They decide which company they want to work for. Zoho Recruit gives you and your recruitment team the talent acquisition tools needed to attract top talent to your organization.

Key features of a talent acquisition system

Recruitment marketing software focuses on sourcing candidates for an open position. Talent relationship management is more than that. It refers to lining up a candidate that fits the job and organization either now or in the future. Here are a few key candidate relationship management features that help recruiters hire quality candidates with Zoho Recruit.

Multichannel candidate sourcing

The future of your organization depends on hiring and retaining great employees. Improve your hiring quality by using our automated talent sourcing tools. Expand your reach to millions of job seekers by posting your openings on premium and niche job boards. Ensure the best first impression by creating a beautiful career site, and nail the art of candidate experience. Trust your workforce as sourcing extension with employee referrals

Take advantage of social recruiting

With the constantly evolving market, traditional talent acquisition strategies are no longer enough. 25% of job seekers are already on social media actively looking for jobs, and 9 out of 10 brands use social media to source, attract, and engage new recruits. Bridge the gap by attracting passive candidates while they apply with LinkedIn, look for Facebook job postings, and surf Google for jobs.

Take advantage of social recruiting

Maintaining a low candidate drop-off rate and an esteemed employer brand are top concerns for recruiters. Zoho Recruit’s career site is all you need to create, set up, and publish jobs in search of your next great hire.

AI powered talent acquisition

AI powered talent acquisition

From finding talent to mapping behavioral assessments for applicants, Zoho Recruit's candidate engagement platform can help you select the people that best suit your business. Use machines as matchmakers instead of searching for candidates manually, and find the right profiles faster with Zia, your AI talent sourcing assistant. Posting on job boards can mean waiting days for a candidate to respond. Instantly find candidate profiles that match your job description with Source Boosters.

Recruitment automation

Recruitment automation

Our cloud-based talent acquisition software allows you to reduce your cost per hire and accelerate your time-to-fill. With Resume Extractor, a Chrome user plug-in, you can parse content from almost any webpage and add candidate records right to your Zoho Recruit account. Elevate your talent pool management platform with Blueprints, and run background checks in a snap. Keep your teammates on the same page by creating a blueprint that prompts users to take the next steps necessary in the recruitment process.

Assessments and interviews

Assessments and interviews

Rating candidates and assessing whether they qualify to move forward in the hiring process can be tedious when done manually. For interviewing, we help you adapt to the new normal of virtual hiring and take your recruitment remote. Conduct video interviews and evaluate candidates regardless of where they're located.

Data privacy in recruitment

Data privacy in recruitment

As virtual recruitment becomes increasingly common, questions regarding privacy and data ethics will undoubtedly crop up. At Zoho Recruit, you own your service data. We protect it, limit access to it, and only process it according to your instructions.

Benefits of talent acquisition software

An applicant tracking system (ATS) can automate and facilitate several process-oriented tasks, as well as help you improve candidate and client satisfaction by reducing time to hire.

A talent acquisition platform can decrease your cost to hire, as it helps you analyze your recruitment process so you can invest in avenues that have the highest ROI.

Zoho Recruit enables you to enhance your employer branding efforts and helps the most fitting candidates find your organization, ultimately reducing the application drop off rate.

The cost of a bad hire is expensive. The more organized the talent acquisition process is, the better the quality of hire.

The most important factor in improving your candidate satisfaction rate is the hiring team's responsiveness. An ATS provides autoresponders and various other candidate engagement platforms to avoid the candidate black hole.

Talent acquisition tools help to provide a well-integrated hiring experience to the candidates, ultimately increasing the offer acceptance ratio.
