To succeed at hiring an hourly workforce, your hiring process needs to be founded on two core principles: speed and engagement. How fast can you move applicants through the hiring process? How do you keep them interested in your opportunity over all the other out there?

Workstream enables recruiting teams and hiring managers to improve the efficiency and success of their hiring process at every step.

Sourcing

Don't just post a position to a job board and hope the right people apply. Workstream's active sourcing tools are more effective than job boards at turning an applicant into a new hire. Rather than getting applicants who apply for any job, Workstream helps you source applicants excited for your job.

 
  • Text-to-apply: 5x more effective than job boards
  • Referrals: 8.7x more effective than job boards
  • Social media: 2.8x more effective than job boards

Communication

Hourly workers apply to an average of six jobs at a time. To keep their focus, you need an efficient way to engage them throughout the hiring process—especially right after they apply.

  • 2.4x greater chance of a successful hire when employers proactively contact applicants first
  • 25% greater chance of hiring when employers contact applicants within an hour of receiving the application

Screening

Don't waste time manually sifting through applications. Workstream's smart screening automatically moves qualified applicants to the next stage of your hiring process. Because you already know they're a good fit, you can have a more efficient interview and ultimately hire faster!

Hire applicants the same day as their interview when you used smart screening questions.

Scheduling

Workstream's text-based scheduling significantly reduces the back-and-forth of scheduling interviews. The sooner applicants get in for an interview and meet your team, the better chance you have making a successful hire.

  • 60s for an applicant to self-schedule an interview*
  • 2.6x more likely to accept an offer when they can schedule their interview immediately
  • 16% greater chance of a successful hire when applicants interview the same week they apply

* When you and your hiring managers set up scheduling availability
