Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)1. Recruiter manually logs into 3-5 major job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor).
- Recruiter copies and pastes job description into each job board posting form.
- Recruiter manually configures posting settings (location, salary range, application method) per board.
- Recruiter posts to company careers site via CMS.
- Recruiter shares job posting link on LinkedIn and Twitter manually.
6. Total time: 1-2 hours per job to post across channels. 7. Limited reach: only 3-5 channels covered, no diversity-focused boards.
Characteristics
- • Applicant Tracking System (ATS) - e.g., Greenhouse, Workday
- • Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) - e.g., Beamery, Avature
- • Job Boards - e.g., Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor
- • Social Media Platforms - e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter/X
- • Email & SMS Tools - e.g., Mailchimp, Twilio
- • Spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) - for tracking efforts
- • ERP/HCM Systems - e.g., SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM
- • Scheduling Tools - e.g., Calendly, Outlook
Pain Points
