2:45
power objects of things at the sourcing game that's why we have this very special guest here with us here today
2:51
and during the course of the webinar if you have any questions for us please go to the Q a section and enter your
5:46
talents such a shortage in the industry like getting the right candidates and it's not just getting people to apply
5:52
like targeting the right candidates it's not a person it's not just a perception it's not a myth we've had um reports
5:58
I've seen by 78 of organizations are currently undergoing Talent shortage but
6:04
consume different trends that we've seen in the industry ranging from the great resignation coming out of a pandemic and
6:11
all of that so I like my opinion about that it's not just a minute it's something that's currently happening right
6:17
yes well actually uh Talent shortage has been happening even pre-pandemic so you
6:25
know um I'd say we're not yet coming out from pandemic we're still in the middle of a pandemic but talking about let's
6:31
say the new business um model The New Normal it was really challenging now to recruit for new
6:38
talents so our Workforce has undergone a number of dramatic short-term and
6:44
long-term um shifts let's say ranging from the sudden
6:49
change to move to remote let's say arrangement to larger
6:54
questions surrounding like work-life balance and the overall relationship between employers and Power
7:00
so it has been um a great shift uh post pandemic so I
7:06
mean that's still in the pandemic but to give you like a glimpse of what are the
7:13
you know impact of kovid for talent management so there's like
7:19
obviously bad impact but there's some good impact as well so to give you an
7:24
example um technology so through technology and remote work so the talent could be
7:32
anywhere from the globe already so before you have to bring the the talent
7:38
to work now you can bring the work to Talent so that's how it is right now so if you want talent that is in a
7:45
different country or location you can through technology so that's one of the the great impact of kobit however
7:53
and my own observation employees have more control over their
8:00
work now so how they work and where they work if let's say if you are high uh
8:07
potential employee or high performer you are controlling the conversation now so you're dictating the terms and in a good
8:15
side employers are listening yeah I can understand that
8:20
um but in situations where um like you said you have employees that are in
8:25
charge of um the work now because you know they have the skills and they know that they are in demand you know how can
8:33
employers make um these rules really very attractive to get the right targets
8:38
audience that you want like when you're running your ads when you're trying to source for candidates how can you make your rules really attractive and how can
8:45
you make everything attractive so that this people this talent that you want not just anybody you don't want someone
8:50
who just wants to apply because you know you see the vacancy and you can say oh let me apply any applies you want
8:56
someone that is capable of doing the job someone that has the talent the skills that they're looking for so how can
9:02
employers you know make the rules very attractive not to Target those people
9:08
okay well to to answer that the behavior of applicants now is very different from
9:14
the pre-pandemic state so they are more self-aware they they know what they want they're
9:20
very specific with the work Arrangement and conditions so now that many
9:25
companies are still offering work from home opportunities to get really gets harder for for us to pull candidates and
9:34
um let's say hi candidates for an on-site possession right so because you know in reality
9:41
um me giving that option of flexibility I I would opt to
9:47
to let's say apply for a remote role but in contrast not everyone is you know
9:52
built to work alone somehow we need to be surrounded by people because you know in reality as
9:58
human beings we are highly sociable so that's where we are banking right now uh
10:04
to to make sure that we have the right benefits additional incentives to attract people to work inside and for
10:11
those hard to to field possessions so let's say as an example
10:17
um for for positions to be working on site and a company can somehow offer shuttle services
10:24
accommodations just to make sure that we are supporting those people who wanted
10:29
to work on time interesting so for those that want to
10:35
work from home but you've seen that you know you want this people to come to the office you don't want them to work from
10:41
home so besides um what else can people do to get these people to want to come into the office because you know there's
10:48
some rules that you cannot work from home you have to work in the office so what do you think companies can do to
10:53
get those people to want to come into the office there are a lot of things that we need
10:59
to consider when pulling for candidates to work on site first is how we advertise the job so they have you have
11:05
to start with that so we have lots of let's say sourcing channels but we just have to be strategic where we post them
11:12
to attract the right code of candidates so let's say for for LinkedIn we use
11:17
that for non-agent roads for Facebook we use that for you know agent possessions so that's thinking about what
11:25
advertising sources you should be using to attract those let's say candidates so
11:31
right now we are conducting some research to find out where our targeted group of candidates tend to look for new
11:38
jobs so we have to try new sourcing channels uh once in a while as well
11:44
so when um to answer as well when skill shortage shortages becomes a serious concern it
11:52
might be time to evaluate how you recruit new employees so let's say new
11:58
members they don't have to be um perfect from the get-go right without hurting
12:05
your company you could easily hire applicants with let's say 80 percent of
12:11
the right requirements and help them grow into the role or you could try
12:18
hiring applicants with all the right skills but once perhaps with less less experience
12:25
than you were initially looking for so if you diversify your hiring practice and consider let's say the transferable
12:32
skills as mentioned before you could find Excellent and motivated individuals for your company
12:39
that's really interesting okay so I'm curious to know you mentioned Facebook you mentioned LinkedIn so that means
12:46
that you're open to using social media for something yeah um we've had very a lot of situations where um a lot of
13:30
well so if you're consistently finding that a very let's say small percentage
13:37
of your applications are relevant you have to think about what you can improve
13:42
to you know in the process to improve the quality of your responses so let's
13:48
say you can focus on targeting your equipment advertising campaigns so
13:54
that's a good place to start with your job advert so when creating advertisement make sure that the
14:00
essential requirements of the role are clear so it is important to use language such
14:06
as candidates must have or rather than ideal candidate will have so if your job
14:12
advertisement and job descriptions are clear you will filter those candidates already
14:19
in your pipeline and if you choose to include essential criteria let's say you
14:24
wanted people who you know has a bachelor's degree you have to include that so that people who don't hold a
14:30
degree would not apply for the role make it clear what you want so you don't waste candidates time in your own as
14:37
well sure um but at the same time we've had people
14:42
say that you know we've done we've made a job as targeted as possible we've done
14:48
everything that we can but these people still sleep in the applications and I thought which we love that you know um
14:54
we're all about you know automating and digitally enabling the recruiters to be able to process large pools of
15:00
candidates we love I mean we say bringing candidates and let the machine do the work you know and I know that I
15:06
must contract concentrix you guys like um you're one of our clients and you know what automation has done for you
15:12
and helped you know process all of this leads that come in and well let's get your opinion let's get your experience
15:17
with you know using automation to process the tons of needs that coming through social media how's that
15:22
experience been for you well automation um is part of the technology
15:28
it always speed up the the process right so let's say automation is one of the
15:34
ways to to streamline or eliminate faces in the process that you know needs
15:40
manual intervention so let's say automation for for concentrics alone helps us reducing the
15:46
processing time of a candidate let's say when they have a candidate hit the system the system will you know
15:52
automatically move them to to stages without us you know manually moving them
15:58
so that way um it helped us with the processing time removing the manual labor that is
16:04
normally one of the pain points in recruiting and this could also result the scarcity of talent since automation
16:11
you need less Manpower and you can also reduce given error by
16:19
having Automation in the process interesting that's really interesting
16:25
okay um I have one more question for you that um a lot of people do not like to answer
16:31
you know but um it's about brand culture you know a lot of a lot of companies um
16:37
advertise sometimes they say people do not like um interact with their job ads
16:42
and I'm wondering is it like public perception of what the organization looks like like people have heard
16:49
stories and they said okay you know what I do not want to work with this company because of all the stories that I've heard you know do you think that brand
16:56
culture brand perception like does he have a strong you know does he play a strong role in Talent shots and
17:03
challenges do you think it contributes to why you might not be getting the right balance for the role
17:08
yeah definitely so due to The Talented neighbors scarcity employees are looking
17:14
for more than just a career advancement or pay they want a fun
17:19
workplace where they can meet new people and look forward to working every day so brand and culture really plays a huge
17:27
role so you'll be able to hire let's say top people ahead of your competition and
17:32
accomplish those important workers Target by creating environment for your employees so let's say make you feel you have to
17:39
make them feel there are um valuable in the organization as well
17:45
because when you examine your culture you want to to win the World for for
17:51
talent and by having a great culture and branding it will help you pull candidates as far so let's say bad
17:56
reviews it will reflect poorly with you as a as an employer right and also make
18:03
it likely for other people to to hesitate to apply for your company so
18:08
remember the more Niche let's say skills and talent you need the more likely
18:13
candidates hard to know each other already and you know communicate on social media and
18:19
they also read reviews on social media so uh your company should have a good
18:26
um let's say branding reviews on online as well
18:31
okay um let's say something okay let's say the world for talent so for example as a
18:38
company you're not the only one group period in candidates you have computers out there as well that I'm recruiting
18:43
for the same talents that you're vying for so how do you think that people can stand out you know how do you think
18:50
organizations can stand out from the competitors and we win this war for talent you know Gravity the right
18:55
candidates that you want when you have like computers buying for the same you know talent that you're vying for
19:02
well number one uh as we mentioned earlier brand new culture that's number
19:08
one for me that's where you stand out most second would be the the way we
19:14
recruit and the way we train and retain our people so I agree we need
19:20
you know to have a large pull-up candidates to process but we should always do value-based
19:26
um hiring and skill based training if we're able to you know hire people
19:32
with the right mindset we can transfer all the skills that we
19:38
needed for them if you're able to already get the last
19:45
if you're able to hire people with the right mindset for for the role the skill
19:50
sets can be transferable okay so it's easier yeah it's easier for us to
19:55
transfer skills than to to correct Behavior
20:00
okay I mean that's that's yeah because we have a lot of really focused on just
20:05
you know we need skill based we need people that have the skills a lot of people do not pay attention to all the system I have the right morals the right
20:12
takes to write you know um the other choice they're looking for in an employee but they don't have the skills
20:18
so you're saying that you know it's not just about the skills there has to be like a balance of board you know
20:25
um the attitude you're bringing to work and then the skills that you're bringing into work
20:30
yes because employers miss out potential let's say Superstars and rock stars because they focus on specific abilities
20:37
and experiences so if we keep an open mind looking at
20:43
your available skill set pay close attention to skills that could be transferable it will be a big win for
20:49
for the employee and the employer as well
20:54
let's go back to automation for example um um the recruitment process the sourcing
21:01
part of it um how what's what degree as in how has automation helped you in the sourcing
21:07
path and then processing the candidates that you're getting you know you get lots of people coming from social media
21:14
so it has automation helps you you know streamline that and um reduce your time to hire basically
21:20
basically not only social media all of the sourcing channels that we have for concentrates go through top Crush that's
21:27
what one of the automation systems that we have for for the company so it cuts
21:32
the processing time because we don't have to manually you know move all the candidates we're talking about thousands
21:38
of candidates right on a weekly on a monthly basis so by reducing the time to move all those and send links for
21:46
assessment follow-up it reduce a huge amount of time in manual processing
21:52
so that also helped us you know um in terms of Manpower
21:58
um allocation we don't need much Talent because we have automation helping us in
22:04
recruiting process yeah but but the thing is okay that you
22:09
have your recruiters we are not like saying okay you don't need recruiters anymore you are digitally enabling them
22:15
to do more in less time right yep well actually the the recruiter
22:20
responsibility is more of the human interaction already all of the tasks that can be done by automation we opted
22:27
to use it you know by automating it in the system like sending you know sending emails to candidates for assessment
22:34
let's say um pre-employment requirements that could be done using automation already
22:41
but those steps that leads human intervention you still need those recruiters
22:46
exactly so you're able to balance for example if you're um having troubles like acquiring all of the talents that
22:53
you need automation helps you balance and balance everything out so even if you're not able to get everybody that
22:59
you need for certain stages of a recruitment process with automation you can balance it out
23:04
um just with the right number that you have with the number that you have you can easily enable them to be able to you
23:09
know complete all of these processes that you have for you turkey yeah accomplishing all the
23:15
process um in less in less time to to give you a perfect example let's
23:21
say checking the assessment score if you do it manually you have to go through thousands of you know candidates but
23:28
using automation the system will automatically identify who will pass or
23:33
who will fail and this doesn't automatically move those candidates for you
23:39
okay all right I think that is all we have but today
25:56
in the previous year with the use of Top push all of our customers in total uh we
26:02
were able to help them interact with 10 million uh job Seekers and then we were
26:07
also able to send out over 10 million messages on a monthly basis and because of this we were able to generate uh 300
26:15
000 hires in the previous year and of course we are active in 15 different boundaries so wherever you might be
26:22
thought questions there to help you guys all right these are just some of the partners that
26:29
we are currently working with and they they put their candidates first that's why all of their candidates are always
26:35
happy and since all of them are going through a very big volume of candidates of course they would need a tool that
26:42
helps them out goodness now a while ago we talked about a shortage of talent so just to give you a context
26:50
um of where you should be looking for your candidates Nikki you can go to the next
26:56
slide please you can actually view these different platforms right so in an ever-changing
27:03
World especially with recruitment of course you don't just want to stick to one platform and as you can see here
27:09
Facebook and all of these other social media channels actually have the most users as compared to just the job right
27:16
so if you want to build a bigger pipeline if you want to have more candidate volume then it's time to check
27:23
out all of those other platforms as well right now moving on to what doc question does
27:31
right so Top push is an omnichannel sourcing platform as well and because we
27:36
were talking about all of those sourcing channels in the previous slide so you can see here we're able to gather all of
27:43
these candidates throughout all of those platforms or sourcing channels and put them into one place that way you don't
27:50
have to jump from platform to platform anymore just so you can interact with those candidates as you can see there
27:56
after work after we've captured all of those candidates all the information or the data that we would need we can help
28:02
you sort them and then screen them now you can go to the next slide Nikki
28:09
no a question that you might have in mind is Julian a while ago you mentioned that
28:14
uh you want or you need to keep the candidates hat right so one of the ways
28:20
that we're actually able to communicate with these candidates fast is because we also provide you a branded AI assistant
28:27
so they provide you chat Bots for different platforms so you can always communicate with your candidates so as
28:33
you can see there we can communicate with them Via SMS WhatsApp telegram messenger Instagram or even Viber also
28:41
of course the emails and so and thought push not only can we get all of these uh
28:47
candidates from different sourcing channels we also allow you to communicate with them through the same
28:52
platform and since we're providing you with all of these uh various chat boards
28:58
or AI assistants you can get back to your candidates in many different ways and the communication there is always a
29:05
lot easier all right now some of you might still be following
29:12
a traditional journey and you know this is something uh that might be relatable
29:17
to some of the people that are not using automation yet but the traditional Journey only allows you to capture a
29:23
very small amount of leads and usually you would have to go through a very very tiring process sometimes 30 days or even
29:31
more just to end up with one hire but with the use of automation or with the use of doctors you're able to talk to
29:38
and gather more candidates than that and as you can see here even though you're
29:43
going through all of these candidates maybe 5 000 or even more some of our partners are doing more than 5 000
29:51
candidates on a monthly basis we're still able to help you find the
29:56
highest enough in a shorter amount of time now the next question is how is
30:01
that possible how is this um because how is this possible that you're you're communicating with more
30:06
but you're spending less time well the quick answer to that is actually with the use of Auto flow so we've been
30:13
talking about automation a while ago so now it's time for me to talk about what autofill does so with the use of
30:19
autoflow you can set up triggers that would mimic your current recruitment process but you can set up triggers that
30:26
move them along the process without you having to intervene to intervene with
30:32
that process itself so a while ago we talked about uh removing the mundane pass and this is what helps you do that
30:39
right so with the use of autoflow you can prioritize candidates depending on
30:45
what your prerequisites are or whatever um whatever your skill sets that you
30:50
would need after that you can also um well not only move candidates from
30:56
Step from one step to another but you can also communicate with candidates
31:01
automatically with the use of this student right so if you're running through all of those
31:07
candidates and if you're running through uh you know if you're if you're trying to get the volumes that you need then of
31:15
course always better to automate those and then lastly we also help you track everything we do have a built-in
31:22
analytics tab there so if you need to check in on uh you know the numbers that
31:28
you've been hitting for the month or if you want to see which sourcing chat
31:33
which sourcing channels work best then you can check it on the platform itself so it's more or less it if you guys want
31:42
to book a demo you can scan this QR code and then uh yeah we'll show you the rest
31:48
of the platform from there okay thank you guys so much and I hope you
31:53

32:00
come to the end of today's event so um here is the the QR code to use to
