www.trail2Hire.Com is an online job platform, officially launched today, enables companies to directly search and engage candidates online. The platform refers to this individual as the Hiring Manager. Individuals performing the above function could be a team leader, line manager, project manager, department manager, etc. The platform strongly believes that the time spent by those not necessarily associated with the job function will only cause delays and increases the overall cost to hire a candidate. Trail2Hire.Com is thus a glass-bridge, making a transparent connection between hiring managers and potential candidates to seek and share information from each other, engage in a dialogue (if required), leverage on historical data whilst setting future expectations, all required to facilitate decision-making by both hiring managers and candidates. The features and capabilities of Trail2Hire.Com revolve around the 2 key roles - candidates and hiring managers.
Upon registration, Trail2Hire.Com provides industry standard candidate features such as assigning job preferences, search/apply for jobs and resume upload. However the key differentiator from other job portals is the ability to 'track the status of the applied job'. Candidate dashboard will display the status of all applied jobs. Additionally candidates can choose to receive mails each time the job status is modified by the hiring manager. Automatic listing of relevant jobs upon logging, the ability to add video resumes, disable resume viewing by companies - while not in the job market, list of companies viewing a candidates' profiles, choosing preferred date/time for interviews with hiring managers, are supplementary features available to candidate. Candidates will also be required to provide reference contact details and answer behavioral questions, if any, posted by the hiring manager to help make decisions more efficiently.
For a hiring manager, Trail2Hire.Com provides a wealth of capabilities several of which are manually performed today. Fundamentally, it is the hiring manager who creates a job description and posts the job online. The hiring managers, while posting a job, can also chose parameters such as start and end dates, key skills required and other miscellaneous parameters. A hiring manager can optionally chose to enter specific behavioral questions which will be mailed to short listed candidates only. The platform enables hiring of both permanent and temporary (contract) staff. The hiring manager dashboard provides a snapshot to the list of jobs posted and the responses to each job including the overall hire status of the job. The hiring manager is armed with an intelligent utility using which the top 10-12 suitable candidates can be short listed for further review. The utility mines the applied candidates list or the full database to rank resumes and display the most suitable candidates for the job posted. Candidate reference data, response to behavioural questions, if any, resume and other credentials are all made available online to make further decisions. The platform facilitates the hiring manager to schedule, conduct and document interviews with short listed candidates and eventually convey the decision to Human Resources (HR) team for next steps in the hiring process such as offer letters, etc.
Today, many of the hiring manager tasks (job posting, candidate search, initial shortlist, etc) are performed by HR, which increases the overall time to hire. Trail2Hire.Com addresses these issues by providing the hiring manager with necessary utilities and automation tools to take control of the overall hiring process and get HR involved as appropriate instead of the full lifecycle.
The above approach will explicitly benefit small/medium size companies with typically a small HR team. HR can use Trail2Hire.Com to empower hiring managers and engage them in the overall hiring process, more proactively. Even in a large corporate, the above approach will facilitate HR to focus more on in-house human capital management by allowing hiring managers to play a significant role in hiring.
Trail2Hire.Com is a first step to a more effective utilization of ‘Human Capital’ and can be further improvised many fold. The foundational facet of this capability is to minimize the intermediaries engaged in the hiring function. This approach brings agility to the recruitment process while reducing the overall cost.
