What a great CRM can do for recruiters

Managing applicants, candidates, and stakeholders with a vested interest in applicant placements calls for exceptional relationship nurturing and organizational capabilities. Even the world’s most skilled recruiters would be forgiven for missing an appointment, overlooking a candidate, or failing to update a client without the right tools.

Your recruitment team or agency needs the right software to help you manage the long sales cycles inherent to recruiting. This software should improve contact data and document organization and storage, applicant progress tracking, and roleplayer communication throughout the process.

Implementing a good CRM system can do all this and more, helping you boost team efficiency, customer experiences, and overall revenue. With an advanced CRM solution in place, your talent acquisition team can:

Critical recruitment CRM features to look out for

It’s true—A great CRM platform can do wonders for your recruitment and talent management efforts. But when you set out to find the right CRM fit for your business needs, it’s essential to know which features to look for and how to use these features to ensure successful recruitment processes.

Contact management should be at the top of your list of priorities, as well as applicant and candidate life cycle management, including effective nurturing and relationship building. The same goes for the clients you recruit for if you operate a recruitment agency. Tools that let you automate highly administrative or repetitive tasks to improve team efficiency are also a must.

The best CRM systems on the market offer a myriad of features that can benefit your recruitment team. The first step is to determine which features are most vital and beneficial for your recruiting processes. 

Nutshell delivers a broad spectrum of essential recruitment features that streamline processes for recruiters. These are just a few of the core CRM features Nutshell provides to support your recruiting team in improving their overall productivity and success.

Contact management to collect and organize candidate data

Let’s face it: saving your applicant, candidate, and client information in a spreadsheet won’t cut it. Your contact data is the foundation of your recruitment process, which means you need a CRM that takes contact management and organization to the next level. 

With the right CRM, you should have the tools to record and link lead, people, and company information, easily monitor all interactions, and store related files. Nutshell gives recruiters like you the ability to manage contacts efficiently and effectively in the following ways:

  • Collect and store your data in one place, making it easier to oversee the data and ensure it remains accurate and up to date.
  • Create a centralized repository that gives team members and colleagues across departments access to the same quality contact information.
  • View a detailed history of all interactions with a lead, person, or company with a comprehensive engagement timeline available within each record.
  • Record notes within a record to highlight and convey important information about the contact to your team, encouraging better customer experiences.
  • Attach contracts, proposals, headshots, and other important files to a contact record for safekeeping and future reference, with zero limits on your available storage space.

Workflow automation to champion lengthy recruitment cycles

Like any other department or business, your recruitment team has to deal with their fair share of repetitive, administrative, or just plain mundane tasks. While these tasks are essential to a successful recruitment process, they often take a significant amount of time to complete.

With Nutshell’s powerful automation features, your team can save time on highly administrative tasks and redirect it to more high-impact, customer-facing activities. Nutshell essentially helps streamline your talent acquisition and management activities, speeding up the recruitment process and making your team more productive.

Take advantage of the following benefits associated with Nutshell’s workflow automation features:

  • Set up triggers and related actions to ensure candidates automatically move to the next stage of the recruitment process when specific goals are met.
  • Automatically send applicants and candidates to the right recruitment specialist based on the criteria you determine to ensure accurate candidate and position alignment.
  • Introduce automatic alerts and notifications sent to your team so they are always in the loop and ensure that nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Keep your team on track with an automated workflow pipeline that lets them know what action to take next.

Pipeline management to handle multiple applicants and recruitment steps

You can use a CRM pipeline to build more than just a basic sales process—You can use it to create workflows for almost anything your team does. For example, you could create custom workflow pipelines for processes like:

  • Applicant qualification
  • Candidate advancement
  • New hire onboarding
  • And more.

Nutshell lets you build tailored pipeline workflows to meet your recruiting needs, allowing you to set up custom stages, goals, activities, tasks, and automations to establish a detailed, easy-to-follow process outline. Choosing Nutshell as your recruitment team or agency CRM garners the following undeniable pipeline management benefits:

  • Create a formal recruitment process that keeps all team members and stakeholders on track.
  • Use Nutshell’s advanced pipeline views, including list, board, chart, and map views, to see where each candidate or client is within the recruitment workflow.
  • Add tags to contact records and color-code them for more advanced contact grouping and filtering.
  • Assign applicant and candidate scores so everyone on your team knows which leads to prioritize.
  • Customize your workflow pipeline to see the information most important to you and your business at a glance.

Advanced email features to maintain stakeholder engagement

You must regularly engage with your candidates, clients, and other stakeholders to build solid and long-lasting relationships with them. Email offers an easy way to stay connected, but typing an email out to each and every contact would be extremely time-consuming and a fruitless exercise for teams managing an extensive contact database.

That’s where your CRM software comes in. With Nutshell, you can enjoy several nifty email-related features that help you stay in touch with candidates and clients. These features allow you to set up automated sequences, ensuring you continue to develop those relationships while you attend to more pressing matters.

Nutshell’s advanced email features give your recruiting team the ability to:

  • Draw up email templates so you can respond quickly to frequently asked questions.
  • Set up personal email sequences to send automated, personalized emails to a specific candidate or stakeholder.
  • Take advantage of powerful email marketing tools that offer you:
    • Easy-to-use drag-and-drop email design tools
    • Professional email templates
    • The tools to segment audiences from within your CRM platform
    • Email reports that indicate opens, click-through rates, and more
    • Email A/B testing to help you optimize your messaging

Nutshell is the best value for the money. The versatility and functionality make it a very easy and powerful product to use.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.

Daniel H. EOS

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.
