When you search “flexibility in recruitment”, you’re flooded with pages of search results on the importance of “work/life balance” and how it’s one of the most important factors for candidates in a job search. This is known, but flexibility not only goes way beyond hours and location, it also goes beyond the candidate. Your client needs it too. 

They want their recruiters to be adaptable, someone who can roll with job spec changes and last-minute hiring problems. In the ever-changing world of recruitment, being flexible is key to maintaining and bringing in new clients and talent. But with clunky, outdated processes in place, the only way you can offer flexibility is if your tech stack makes your role easier.

How can Odro help you become more flexible?

We’re not saying we’ll have you doing the splits in no time, but our products are created to make your life easier, meaning you can be more adaptable for your clients and prospects. We’ll even save you a bit of sanity along the way. 

Offer candidate interviews that work on their schedule

Widen your talent pool without the stress of coordinating diaries. Solo Interviews is our asynchronous interview software which means you just need to provide your questions via our software and send them to a candidate (or a bunch of them). They’ll then record their answers at a time that suits them, giving you loads of hours back! We have loads of clients who use this to cut out at least one stage of the interview process. And it’s not just time you gain, it’s speed to hire too, which means that all-important fee comes in faster 👀

Shortlists for your Hiring Managers in one place

For interview stages, use Vision and Talent Dashboards to keep everything in one place where you can show the bigger picture. Conduct and record live interviews and share your shortlisted candidates with your Hiring Manager to review in their own time. This sure beats chasing them and losing out on candidates because they’ve cancelled another call. Plus, clients LOVE it! We have customers who have clients request all shortlists to be sent by Talent Dashboards because of the added flexibility it offers! It also gives you much greater control over the process with valuable analytics and insights that let you make data-led decisions. 

Is admin getting in the way?

Recruiters might find it hard to offer flexibility because they’re dragged down by admin tasks. Did you know that the average recruiter spends 3-4 hours a day on admin? Well, with the help of Hiredeck and AI, we can half that. Hiredeck’s CV parser is the best on the market, helping you format and brand your CVs in double quick time. This means more candidates have submitted and specced than ever before. We’ve also given you the flexibility to chop and change everything from branding, candidate information and CV structure, giving you complete flexibility and control. 

So, flexibility isn’t just about where you work or when. It’s about your service offering too. Flexibility reduces stress for everyone and creates a much more positive hiring experience! It’s not just a “nice to have”, it’s a necessity if you want to keep bringing in success - whatever the market! With the help of Odro, we’ll make sure you can bend without breaking.
