Paylocity has officially announced the launch of several different enhancements for its Recruiting platform.
According to certain reports, each one of these enhancement is designed to help hiring teams streamline, and at the same time, accelerate hiring processes. Not just that, they are also expected to improve the quality of candidate searches.
More on that would reveal how, by helping recruiters efficiently evaluate applications and focus on securing top talent, the development in question allows HR leaders to address critical needs of modern recruitment.
Before we get any further into the given updates, we must take into account how companies across retail, hospitality, and other high-turnover industries often struggle against recruitment challenges, such as managing extensive data, addressing communication gaps, and navigating time-consuming manual tasks.
In response, Paylocity makes it possible for them to tackle these recruiting challenges through streamlined workflows, improved candidate engagement, and data-driven decision-making.
The company’s technological setup, in essence, will empower hiring teams to seamlessly access and track all candidate data within a single profile. Once that happens, teams can manage applications, communications, and evaluations; schedule interviews, send offer letters, as well as initiate and track pre-hire assessments, and background checks. This they can without ever leaving the Paylocity platform.
Such a setup, like you can guess, can tread up a long distance to streamline processes, save time, and deliver a simple, effortless user experience.
Talk about the newly-introduced updates on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the promise of streamlined scheduling. The solution will achieve that by leveraging integration with Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, and iCloud, an integration which will allow recruiters to access real-time availability, send calendar invites with meeting links and documents, and synchronize updates, keeping all parties in sync.
Next up, we have a candidate interview self-scheduling facility, where candidates can easily schedule interviews at their convenience, eliminating back-and-forth with recruiters. Complementing this would be the platform’s automated notifications that tread up a long distance to ensure all participants stay informed. This can, in turn, significantly cut down on delays and create a smooth scheduling process.
“We understand the pressure hiring teams face to attract and evaluate qualified candidates quickly,” said Steve Beauchamp, Paylocity Executive Chairman of the Board. “Our enhanced Recruiting platform empowers organizations to source top talent efficiently, deliver a seamless candidate experience, and ultimately fill roles faster, while reinforcing their employer brand by helping hiring teams focus on quality over quantity.”
Paylocity’s platform will also feature, from now onwards, one-way video interviews. The idea here is to do away with scheduling conflicts and delays, while simultaneously accelerating the initial screening phase and empowering hiring teams to connect with and quickly narrow down a broader talent pool.
Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in the introduction of integrated candidate assessments. Employing partnerships with assessment vendors in the Paylocity Marketplace, recruiters can seamlessly manage pre-hire assessments within the same recruiting workflow as all other tasks.
Founded in 1997, Paylocity’s rise up the ranks stems from providing an intuitive, easy-to-use product suite which helps businesses automate and streamline HR and payroll processes, attract and retain talent, and build culture and connection with their employees. The company’s excellence in what it does can be understood you consider it is also an award-winning provider of cloud-based HR, payroll, and spend management software solutions.
