Why should recruiting be digital and empathetic at the same time?

Digital recruiting

Anyone who has already recruited personnel knows the challenges all too well. Dozens, sometimes even hundreds of talents have to be addressed through different channels, and this varies depending on the position. Or there are as many candidates applying again. Digital recruiting is an enormous help here.

This is because feedback must be obtained, appointments must be made, the application documents must be structured, and nothing can be forgotten. The larger the company, the higher the number of applicants. But this is already true for start-ups and SMEs.

Doing all this manually is a lot of hard work and needs great precision. A recruiter would almost have to be a robot. In job interviews, however, specialist knowledge and empathy are required – and, of course, ideally a great deal of knowledge of human nature. So not for robots after all?

These are the advantages of modern recruiting agencies like Lionstep:

  • the combination of partially automated, digital processes
  • Expertise and empathy
  • visualization of application processes
  • Scalable processes, adapted to individual needs

What are the advantages of digital recruiting?

Physical application folders and Excel lists as tools of the trade for recruitment experts? An ad in the local daily press and then hope for the best? Fortunately, modern recruitment offers a wealth of options for optimizing application and hiring processes. With digital recruiting, companies can establish the recruitment strategy that leads to individual success.

Because digital recruitment offers a variety of advantages: 

  • Cost and time savings through digitally controlled and automated processes
  • uncomplicated, clear and intuitive processes
  • clear applicant management, structured in databases
  • strategies tailored to individual companies
  • data analyses at the push of a button
  • Status quo of application processes can be viewed at any time
  • Combination with employer branding consolidates the employer’s standing as a brand
  • Improved candidate experience increases popularity as an employer

Nevertheless, Lionstep believes that the best digital recruiting is of no use if it is not controlled by people and applied with precision. 

It is precisely with this core competence – namely enthusiasm for our profession – that we at Lionstep have perfected digital recruiting. In addition, one of our biggest advantages is our pricing.

How do companies benefit from digital recruiting?

The demands on modern recruitment are high, and employees in HR departments often work at their limits. In addition, the omnipresent shortage of personnel is often felt in HR departments as well. This makes it difficult for HR managers to develop and implement HR strategies, as well as to handle day-to-day operations.

Digital recruiting with suitable IT solutions creates order out of chaos. Processes are optimized, automated and streamlined. It pays to do the math: If positions remain unfilled for a long time, it costs a lot of money. Colleagues have to take over the work, their own work is left undone or there is even a lack of turnover Strategic considerations have to be put on the back burner, the motto is to work through tasks.

Personnel at operational level or management position with specific requirement profile? Digital recruitment increases the chance of filling positions quickly many times over – and with an advantageous price-performance ratio.

How do talents benefit from digital recruiting?

How do talents benefit from digital recruiting?

Talents are not only aware of their rights, but also of what they expect from an employer. New Work is the keyword here. It’s no longer purely about salary. Issues such as work-life balance, further training and the opportunity to fill a job creatively are compelling arguments.

Digital recruiting supports the thoughts of the modern labor market. Suitable talents are contacted on LinkedIn, Xing, via Whatsapp or SMS, as desired. They can give their feedback on the contact with just a few clicks conveniently on their smartphone, tablet or PC.

This results in short paths and fast processes. If curiosity about a position is aroused, talents can conveniently book a video or telephone appointment directly online.

Throughout the process, we are in contact with both companies and talent. Our clients love working with us – and we love working with our clients. 

In summary, hybrid and digital recruiting is proving more than beneficial for talent:

  • No complicated creation of analog application folders
  • contacting interesting jobs with only three clicks
  • exciting job advertisements available digitally at any time
  • additional information and videos or photos about the company, which are not easy to find in this form
  • Possibility for assessments, for example to sharpen the applicant profile
  • Exchange with experts
  • Personal contact persons available at any time
