Recruiters must use IT solutions to help them in their
routine business, one of which could be finding temporary staff for their
clients. HR departments of organizations may also need to use such software
from time to time for their temporary staffing needs. In fact, recent studies
show that employers prefer to hire temporary staff in order to remain
competitive and have lower costs.
In this scenario, use of temporary staffing software is
indispensable since it automates tasks and lets recruiters achieve better
results. A firm also benefits by the use of this type of software because it
can process thousands of records and select only those CVs that match specific
criteria. Unlike regular recruitment software, the software used to hire
temporary staff must have more capabilities such as managing candidates,
handling contract staff data, on boarding, skill testing, job performance, and
certification management. At the same time, one must keep in mind that the
software should also be able to comply with regulations and prepare reports on
taxes and other requirements according to laws.
One can select software that is standalone. However, in
order to fulfill its function better, it should be able to integrate easily into
back office functions and also have some measure of analytical ability and
report generating features. Email integration is another important must-have
feature of this software. Data is central to recruitment and how the software handles
data, archives it, retrieves data and also updates data is an important
consideration to keep in mind.
For majority of users cost is also a prime consideration and
regular licensed software may be expensive. The answer is temporary staffing software
that is delivered in the form of Software as a service (SaaS). Cloud based
software have the inherent advantage of being accessible from anywhere and
affordable monthly payments with facility to scale up or scale down. Best of
all one is up and running in a moment because there is no software to download
and install. One simply registers, logs in and starts using the cloud delivered
software. One can use it free for 30 days on a trial basis, extend it for
another month and then stop when the assignment is over.
