A recruitment database is the basis for all categories of recruitment software. Very small recruiters will use a basic recruitment database in a program such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access. These databases usually have contact information for clients and candidates and information outlining the skills and experiences of candidates. These basic recruitment databases require a great deal of manual data entry.
Much more advanced recruitment databases like the CRIS system eliminate much of these data entry tasks by identifying and collecting data from your electronic communications with clients and candidates. Resumes sent as attachments, job requestions and updated contact details can be parsed into a recruitment database for easier searching and filtering.
A good recruitment database is essential for any serious recruitment consultant. These databases can form the basis of much more sophisticated recruitment automation. A Recruitment CRM for example, combines the power of a recruitment database with tools to easily communicate to the contacts in this database.
Recruiters with the CRIS recruitment database are upgrading to the TRIS Recruitment CRM to take advantage of these innovative communication tools. To find out how TRIS can help you improve your relationships with clients and candidates, request a live demonstration or free recruitment CRM trial.
