![Top 6 Best Cloud Recruitment Software in 2024](https://media.appvizer.com/articles/33212465/cover/com/cover-picture_w329.webp)
Interactive recruitment information system or Cloud recruitment is a powerful competitive advantage for all companies. The success of HBO's Game of Thrones television series, for example, depends on the localization and collaboration of all professionals on site. The exceptional creativity of audiovisual talents has enabled Northern Ireland to become a prime location for the world's leading studios.
To achieve this, recruitment must not be treated as an administrative task: it must be as important as financial management, sales, and R&D in the company's strategy.
Like all the pillars of a company strategy, recruitment must be supported by methods and tools. However, only 48% of companies used recruitment software in 2017, according to a WideOpen study of 2,341 companies.
So how can recruitment software help Human Resources Departments to recruit better without spending excessive resources on it? What are the best solutions on the market? This is what we will see in this comparison of recruitment software.
What is cloud recruitment?
Cloud recruitment refers to the actions taken to select relevant candidates for a given position. These actions result in a bilateral contractual agreement between the employer and the final candidate, which effectively becomes an "employee".
Cloud recruitment allows you to manage and access your data when you’re on the go by securely storing it in one platform.
The scope of the position is defined by needs (skills, experience, activities), working conditions (resources, hours), responsibilities and salaries This scope is traditionally summarized in a job offer, while the candidates' profile is summarized in their resume.
What are the trends in recruitment and HR?
Human Resources recruiting tools have been evolving for several years now and the trend is accelerating thanks to numerous technological innovations and the evolution of uses carried by the Internet. The following selection of cloud recruitment platforms was made on the basis of the following 7 trends:
The Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
The ATS corresponds to the digitalization of the entire recruitment process. Two types of recruitment SaaS solution address this problem: HRIS and generalist HR solutions, as well as recruitment software, specialized only in this activity.
The candidate-recruiter relationship
It was common to challenge candidates for a position during job interviews and to neglect unsuccessful candidates until a few years ago.
Today, the trend is towards a "candidate relationship" largely inspired by marketing and sales techniques: a dialogue is open between recruiters and candidates, communication is meticulous, the stages of advancement are clear, etc.
The idea is to get the best out of all candidates and offer them the same.
Inbound recruiting
Inspired by inbound marketing, inbound recruiting consists of implementing actions to attract potential candidates (blogs, conferences, social network publications) rather than waiting for them to look for a position on a recruitment site like Indeed or Monster.
The next step is to convert the hearing into actual candidates for a given position.
Artificial intelligence
AI is emerging in recruitment strategy as it has in many other areas. Platforms such as QAPA or LinkedIn are embarking on automatic and intelligent matching of job offers with the available profiles. This allows above all to automatize sourcing and shorten Time to Hire for an overall better-recruiting process.
The employer brand
The employer brand has been around for a long time. What is new is the speed with which information circulates. Platforms such as Glassdoor are highly visited by candidates who validate before the first interview that the company they will meet has a good reputation. The employer brand also makes it possible to share the company's culture outside its walls.
The segmentation of job offers into data
Traditional job offers are no longer a starting point, but an output format among dozens of others. The starting point is now the data:
- skills sought,
- profile of the desired candidate,
- expected salary range, etc.
Recruitment tools and job boards process this data more efficiently than traditional PDFs. In addition, data can be shared and interpreted more easily (integration of recruitment software with job boards, HR reporting).
Social networks
LinkedIn with its 146 million profiles in the United States, and Twitter with its millions of influencers who can be contacted directly are powerful tools for recruiting talent. Social networks are also part of an inbound recruiting strategy. They are widely used by recruitment agencies as tools for sourcing mass skills and executive searches.
What is the purpose of cloud-based recruitment software?
Here are the main features of recruitment tools and their usefulness for recruiters:
Multicasting of offers
This function allows you to create a job offer only once, then distribute it to dozens of Job Boards in one click, saving recruiters a lot of time.
Workflow or recruitment process
The recruitment process allows you to define steps (visualized, contact, interview, proposal, hiring/rejection) to facilitate the selection and notify candidates automatically.
Collaborative evaluation of candidates
Allows several employees to collaborate in the recruitment process (score from 1 to 5, remarks, comments, votes) in an agile way.
Multi-channel
Multi-channel allows quality candidates to share their entry points (social networks, company website, recruitment site) to create a homogeneous candidate experience wherever they are and multiply opportunities tenfold.
Reporting
Dashboards and reports allow you to monitor the recruitment process in real-time according to your own KPIs (activity indicators) to set up action plans quickly.
Candidate file and CV library
Candidate files allow the centralization of candidate data (experience, skills, contact information, history of interactions with the company, etc.). CV libraries are used to group, archive and classify CVs. They are now shared to share more up-to-date profiles than a single company could do alone.
There are many other peripheral features in recruitment software, but all aim to: reduce recruitment time, attract the best profiles (talents) and strongly engage all stakeholders in the recruitment process (candidates, consultants, recruiters, managers and employees).

Conclusion
According to a Bersin study, the HR solutions market today is worth more than 14 billion dollars, and 3 billion dollars for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) solutions alone.
As we have seen above, effective talent management software support is very dynamic and innovative: it not only allows you to improve your productivity but also to attract the talent that will accelerate your company's growth.
The non-exhaustive selection of recruitment tools in this article shows that there are two categories of recruitment software: specialized tools (offer distribution, ATS) and general HR software with recruitment functions. It should also be noted that the tool can be designed for certain types of activities requiring a specific recruitment process, such as the CodinGame platform, dedicated to the recruitment of developers. In general, specialized tools tend to be more innovative and generalist software more structuring.
