The Time Crunch Every Recruiter Understands
If you work in talent acquisition, you know time is not just money, it represents momentum. Each vacant position results in decreased productivity, increased pressure on the team and delayed business outcomes. A stark reality remains that a significant portion of a recruiter’s time continues to be consumed by tedious, manual tasks, much of it in the area of candidate screening.
The conventional method of screening candidates, which involves checking various portals manually, can be exhausting.
Common practice for recruiters is to open separate browser tabs for multiple job sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc. to manually search for candidates using keywords and filters. Then profiles are exported, resumes cross-checked and the contact information is copy-pasted into spreadsheets or ATS systems.
Next comes the follow-up: personalized outreach emails, pre-screening calls and extensive note-taking. All this before a hiring manager ever sees a shortlist.
Even with the application of filters and Boolean logic, this method encounters considerable challenges, starting with variations in search results across various platforms:
- Errors in filtering that could overlook leading candidates
- Time lost toggling between tools and tabs
- A negative experience for candidates caused by slow or inconsistent communication
- Fatigue that may encourage bias or result in burnout
It takes recruiters between 30 and 45 minutes on an average to assess one candidate. If you multiply that by 50 to 100 applicants for each role, you’re looking at more than 25 hours weekly focused on preliminary filtering.
The Wish Every Recruiter Has: “I Wish Someone Could Just Do This For Me”
Every recruiter at some point has dreamt: “I wish someone would just understand what I’m looking for and hand me a list of great candidates: screened, vetted and ready to go.”
That “someone” is here and it’s not a person. It’s AI. And with Sinecure.ai, the dream has become a reality.
