Western World countries are still suffering the consequences of a critical economic recession which has led to enormous unemployment rates. One of the most affected and concerned groups of individuals when speaking in terms of growth, employment and innovation, are the young people.

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the current situation is on its way to improve the frustrating levels of widespread unemployment. Companies are in need for growth and their willingness to outperform in their industry passes first by hiring the right people with the capacities and studies attained during these last years of stagnation.

A recent study conducted by leading recruitment consultant Michael Page (2015) based on 65 countries around the globe, states that almost 50% of global HR leaders expect their workforce to increase over the next 12 months, and what’s more, 34% of organisations in the world have increased their recruitment budget during this year in order to cope with the costs incurred in the hiring process.

Recruiters tend to measure success in HR based on main aspects such as employee performance, staff turnover or employee engagement. But there is one characteristic that companies often miss and which here at skeeled, we believe it’s mandatory to pay attention to because it will not only help you improving quality hire but also reducing time and unnecessary cost incurred in the process of recruitment. We are talking about the candidate screening experience.

The race for talent acquisition is back on track. Hence, in order to avoid the same mistakes of the past, recruiters need to start analyzing success by measuring how easy the application process is, how long it takes (time between job posting and candidate start date), the total cost incurred throughout recruitment and selection or the assessment of the right personality.

At skeeled, we revolutionize the way in which recruiters screen, understand, collaborate and evaluate candidates. Our candidate screening software allows our clients to accelerate the hiring process by introducing an interactive system of pre-recorded video interviews where the recruiter will be able to screen applicants already from the moment in which the candidate applies online by filling in the advanced standardized CV and personality test required for the specific job position. Our advanced scoring algorithm gives you the best matching potentials and reduces your time in reviewing millions of CVs.

By saving money and time, companies facing the upcoming wave of young talent acquisition will be able to reduce their recruitment costs and hire the most effective people in the most efficient way. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information and get your best talent shortlisted. Thank you for your attention.
