Investing in new recruitment software can be a daunting undertaking. There’s a lot at stake: time, energy and (of course) money. One of the most common fears in taking the leap to a new system is that it will lead to a decrease in ROI compared to the status quo. 

In any job market, the interviewing process brings many challenges. Organizations want to find the right people for their roles, but the need to get those jobs filled quickly sometimes gets in the way of achieving that goal. That sense of urgency tends to push companies to hire people who seem to have the right skills—and then hope the fit works out. Unfortunately, that strategy doesn’t always work.

Recruitment in this age of widespread remote work requires responsive and creative strategy, especially when advertising jobs. Remote work has expanded candidates’ possibilities by shrinking the role geography plays in the job search. Location isn’t a factor for many of today’s job seekers: as long as they have a strong internet connection, anything is possible.
