Recruitment & Applicant Tracking Guides
Learn how to build employer branding, pre-qualify applicants with tailored questionnaires, and transition hired talent directly into active HRIS records.
Building an Effective Corporate Careers Portal
Directing candidates to generic emails or disjointed job board forms hurts your employer brand. Key strategies for maximizing candidate conversion include:
- Transparent Job Specifications: Clear roles, salary ranges, work setups (on-site, hybrid, remote), and office locations.
- Mobile-Optimized Applications: Over 70% of Philippine applicants browse opportunities on smartphones. Short, responsive forms maximize completions.
- Dedicated Brand Subpaths: Hosting careers pages at
/careers/{company}maintains institutional trust and professionalism.
Pre-Screening with Targeted Questionnaires
Recruiters spend an average of only 6–8 seconds reviewing a resume. Using custom application questionnaires filters unqualified applicants before interviews:
- Knockout Questions: Confirm basic prerequisites (e.g. required professional licenses, willingness to work night shifts, or geographic availability).
- Compensation Alignment: Capture expected salary expectations upfront to avoid late-stage offer rejections.
- Skill & Portfolio Verification: Request live portfolio links, GitHub repositories, or sample writing attachments at point of entry.
