Customized Recruiting Software for HR, Healthcare, and Marketing Businesses

The traditional recruiting process for hiring employees, for patient trials, or for market research is time-consuming and prone to errors as it requires gathering data from multiple sources, manual entry of this data in the internal system, and further analysis and work with the data. Automating the recruiting process saves managers time and money and ensures that the right candidates are hired.

Recruiting software automates many tasks throughout the hiring pipeline, which is particularly useful for larger companies with a high volume of job openings and applicants or for research businesses providing recruiting services.

With multiple ready-to-use offers of recruiting software, there is still a need for many companies to create their own system. Usually, the reasons are to:

• Get a proprietary SaaS product to provide services or sell it to other businesses.
• Save in the long run due to avoiding subscription fees.
• Get unique functionality that corresponds to the specific company workflow.
• Have total control and security over the stored data.

The 3 domains and use cases that most frequently turn to recruitment software:

1. Healthcare. Patient recruitment for clinical trials and research.
2. HR. Employee recruitment for finding and acquiring the right applicants.
3. Marketing. Candidate recruitment for all types of market research.

Healthcare Use Case: Patient Recruitment

High risk of trial failure and money loss

86% of the clinical studies performed by pharma and other healthcare organizations in the US fail to timely recruit a sufficient number of patients needed to perform a trial. It usually means the termination of a trial, resulting in huge financial losses. 

Patient recruitment software to ensure a sufficient number of patients on time

Patient recruitment software helps clinical trial sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), and researchers accelerate, automate and improve the complex and time-consuming process of recruitment, screening, and management of potential participants for clinical trials. The customized recruiting software acts as a single controlled-access collaborative system.

The software also automates messaging with patients based on certain triggers, such as a left voicemail or visit confirmation to increase patient conversion rates.
4. Patient tracking and retention. The tracking tool helps monitor the progress of potential participants through the recruitment pipeline and to retain them once they have been enrolled in a clinical trial by sending timely follow-ups and notifications.
5. Reporting and analytics. The analytical dashboard may include various KPIs of the patient recruitment process on demand.
