Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)

1. Hiring manager submits job requisition via email or PDF form to recruiter. 2. Recruiter manually writes job description in Word document, copying from similar past roles. 3. Recruiter estimates compensation range based on gut feel or asks HR compensation team (3-5 days). 4. Job description reviewed by hiring manager, 2-3 revision cycles via email. 5. Final job description often contains biased language (rockstar, ninja, recent college graduate) that discourages diverse applicants. 6. Total time: 2-4 hours per job description, no SEO optimization for job board search.

Characteristics

  • Workday Recruiting
  • Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
  • Workflow automation tools
  • Collaboration tools (Email, Google Sheets)
  • AI-driven resume screening tools
  • Standardized job requisition templates

Pain Points

  • Inconsistent job descriptions leading to poor candidate fit
  • Manual data entry causing errors and inefficiencies
  • Misalignment between hiring managers and HR on role requirements
  • Challenges in compliance and audit trails in regulated industries
  • Dependence on manual processes can slow down hiring
  • Limited integration between different tools can lead to data silos
  • Inadequate training on tools may hinder effective usage
