People & HR Use Cases
Recruitment Process Management
Build bespoke solutions in a matter of days to automate unique areas not covered by your recruitment management system
The Challenges
For many organizations, the recruitment process is handled manually without any purpose-built tools. Where off-the-shelf recruitment management systems are available, they tend to have gaps and are inflexible with addressing the requirements unique for each organization. This leads to common challenges which include having to repeatedly write job descriptions in an ad-hoc manner for the same roles, lack of standardization of interview processes and candidate evaluation, and collecting and centralizing interview notes. These areas tend to be ignored by the existing recruitment systems or require costly and lengthy customization to meet requirements.

challenges
HOW DOES MLS ADDRESS IT?
Manual population of job descriptions from scratch every time
Hiring managers and HR professionals must manually create job descriptions every time a new role opens. Finding old examples of job descriptions is often hard and even if they are stored in a central place, the hiring managers still need to read them and make a subjective decision on what requirements and disclaimers to include. This process can be time consuming and lead to the creation of generic and unclear job descriptions that do not attract the right talent.
Lack of centralized job description approval process
Job Descriptions are usually sent to HR for approval via email, which can be difficult to track centrally for both HR and submitters. There is often no way to ensure that certain sensitive job descriptions go through proper review.
Organising effective interviews is difficult and time consuming
As a HR professional or a hiring manager it can be difficult to navigate the interview process and know what step to take next. Hiring managers also often lack time to customise interview guides or search for the best guide or list of questions (if one is even available).
Interview notes are not centralized and can get lost in the process
When multiple interviewers are involved, it is challenging to ensure all notes are taken in a standardized manner and collated for the final decision by the hiring manager.
Off-the-shelf systems take a lot of time to implement and are rigid
Existing off-the-shelf solutions cater to standard processes but cannot be customised to match unique business requirements and are rigid to ongoing process changes. They often have gaps which take a long time to configure and deploy.
MLS allows organizations to centralize job description (JD) templates and JD paragraphs with the right wording in one central application. Hiring managers use intuitive and smart MLS forms to capture the key job requirements which automatically creates bespoke job descriptions with the right role description, requirements, and disclaimers. All generated job descriptions can be easily accessed on a centralized dashboard and re-used.
MLS’s workflow engine automatically triggers relevant approvals across multiple stakeholders in order or concurrently once all relevant information has been provided. MLS automatically creates a workflow queue of submissions pending approval which reviewers can easily access on a central MLS dashboard. This also allows hiring managers to track the progress of their job description.
HR professionals and hiring managers can outline their interview requirements in MLS’s digital smart forms and automatically generate interview guides with relevant customized questions and recommended steps. Interview steps and checklists can also be digitized into intuitive user journeys with automated notifications to the interviewers, ensuring that they are following a proper process and are providing a high quality experience for candidates.
MLS can also enable interviewers to capture interview notes in digital questionnaires which are then automatically consolidated. This is then made available for final review and approval by the hiring manager, enabling clear and efficient post-interview evaluation and decision-making.
MLS is a no-code platform that empowers business experts to digitise and automate complex end-to-end processes in a matter of days or weeks without having to write code. Digital tools and journeys can be built from scratch with your unique requirements in mind and can be quickly customised if processes or rules change, without needing to consume IT’s time.
