A group created for people generally interested in CRM usage for recruiting. Share opinions, ideas, best practices, observations, and ask thought provoking questions.
Also, I'll be in Chicago for the HR Tech show at McCormick Place 9/30-10/2 if you want to come by and see us or any of the other software vendors.
The approach we've taken to the CRM vs. ATS conundrum is that each represents a different workflow. So we built a workflow design tool that allows each customer to build and use multiple workflows. Typically that's for CRM (sales/BD, sourcing, tal...
Thank you for your response. I’m not sure which of the three categories you describe I would fall into. I suppose what I want is a low cost fully integrated solution that includes ATS and CRM capabilities. The question, as always, is which tradeof...
Welcome to the group James. In the interest of full disclosure I want to inform you that I work for Avature and we have a product called RecruitingCRM (as the name would suggest, a CRM designed for recruiting). That being said, I think you will fi...
I am new to the group and I haven’t yet read through all of the discussions. With that confession over with, can anyone tell me whether any consensus has emerged as to which CRM software solution is the top pick for small recruiting operations?

Why user interface matters and why you should care
Having spent the last nine months building our Recruiting CRM application to interface with many different systems I've been given the unique opportunity to look inside many different HR and recruiting software applications commercially available on the market. I've also had the chance to respond to many RFP's, RFI's, and product bake-offs with competitors. I'm continually blown away at how poorly designed many of these applications are from a users perspective (but not entirely surprised given… Continue

Cash is king...
We've all heard the phrase "cash is king" and probably hear that today more than ever. Why? Keep in mind that this is overly general but I'm just trying to illustrate a point. In today's economy we hear a lot about companies that borrowed extensively to fuel their growth and now the underlying assets that secured those loans are worth a lot less. In extreme cases that puts those companies upside down - meaning they owe more than the collateralized assets are worth. One way for these companies to… Continue

Resume as a Tag Cloud
If you don't know what a tag cloud is go to wikipedia first.
Check out Tag Crowd. Copy and paste any text to make your own tag cloud to visualize word frequency. Try it with a resume or a job description and see the resulting cloud image. Do you like it? Does it have any relevance? Could you ever see this as a useful tool? Why or why not? Let's hear what you think.

Tags vs. folders
According to website del.icio.us, "Folders were the old way to organize your bookmarks. They were great if you only had a few bookmarks and a few folders, but as your collection grew, it became harder and harder to decide what goes where. Delicious has a new and better way: tags."
Tags were also popularized by Flickr - the photo sharing website - as a way in which to categorize photos - who's in them, when they were taken, where they were taken, by season, holiday, event type, etc. - for easy r… Continue
