In an era wrought with burnout and employees quietly quitting, it is important to foster an inclusive environment that is mindful of employees’ varying backgrounds.

Businesses working to fight unconscious biases in the workplace will find Greenhouse’s applicant involvement in the recruitment process and the employee referral modules especially rewarding. Greenhouse strives to eliminate implicit biases in the hiring process; this is immediately apparent in the ability it gives candidates before the interview to pre-record their name pronunciations and select their pronouns. Greenhouse helps employers capitalize on employee networks by incentivizing staff to promote new positions using pre-filled social media posts.

Each post includes relevant details for the open role and a URL with specific parameters unique to the employee who shares it. HR teams can track these posts and accurately reward the employee for any new hire that comes from the employee’s network. Unlike Oracle’s on-prem Taleo, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting can be implemented as stand-alone software or as part of its larger HCM suite. For remote-friendly or global businesses, SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting provides a multichannel approach to sourcing talent.

It provides hiring teams with access to 4,000 sources across more than 80 countries. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting can integrate with over 70 third-party systems, including social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Xing; assessment providers such as PeopleAnswers; and e-signature platforms such as DocuSign. This wide variety of integrations is valuable for enterprises that need to bridge the gaps across multiple applications. SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting also seamlessly integrates with SAP SuccessFactors’s larger HCM suite so candidates have a unified experience throughout the employee lifecycle.

SAP’s recruitment platform also works with SAP’s Integration Suite for an additional fee, offering the ability to design, publish, and manage APIs if standard integrations do not meet the business’s needs. Breezy HR focuses on a simple user interface that facilitates easy communication between candidates and recruiters. It also offers customizable automations that reduce repetitive tasks, which allows HR teams to spend more time on higher priorities.

Breezy HR’s interface promotes communication between candidates, recruiters, and the rest of the hiring team. From the main dashboard, recruiters can send an email or text message to a candidate, schedule an interview, and record notes on the candidate for the team to review. Interview scheduling is also intuitive with Breezy HR’s team scheduling tool, where the hiring team can easily view everyone’s schedules side-by-side. Candidates also have a say in their interview times with Breezy HR’s self-scheduling tool.

Breezy HR automatically distributes new job postings to mainstream online job boards when a new position is opened. Posting on the top job boards, like Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor, is included in Breezy’s pricing, so businesses don’t have to worry about paying an additional fee for that exposure. Breezy then collects the candidates for each position and adds them to the applicant tracking pipeline for review. Users can then view both original and parsed versions of applicant resumes and run reports to determine which job board provides them with the best candidates.

Teamtailor is a relatively new ATS vendor that targets small to medium-sized businesses and is designed to grow with the business. Businesses that are hesitant to invest in Oracle’s HCM Suite may be attracted to Teamtailor’s recruiting tools. With Teamtailor, businesses do not need to spend excessive time designing and writing a career site from scratch. Instead, recruiting teams can build a career site quickly using drag-and-drop “blocks” with customizable content, including campaign pages to share on social media, blogs, and company branding.

Teamtailor attempts to ease the burden of talent tracking with its customizable recruiting funnel. The simple interface allows recruiters to specify stages in the hiring process, such as “screening” or “interviewing,” and drag and drop candidates to different stages of the funnel. For users left unsatisfied with their move from Taleo to Oracle HCM Suite, Zoho Recruit may be the answer. With its breadth of features and analytics, Zoho Recruit is a great scalable solution for businesses with expectations that their talent needs will grow.

For small to medium-sized businesses, Zoho Recruit offers multiple plans with features that will scale as the business’s needs grow and change. Small businesses, therefore, will not have to pay for large scale solutions like AI candidate matching when their talent needs are small. However, should business needs expand, businesses can choose to move up a plan or even integrate with Zoho’s broader HRIS platform that includes payroll, onboarding, time management, and more.

Zoho Recruit’s analytics features in Zoho’s Professional plan allow growing businesses to remain competitive and pinpoint areas in the recruitment process needing improvement. The software comes pre-built with over 75 reports and dashboards that offer custom data visualizations.
