The staffing industry is facing a challenge in reducing time to fill, which can impact revenue and candidate experience. Staffing teams can evaluate their current process, identify bottlenecks, and leverage technology to accelerate hiring while providing a world-class candidate experience. Strategies include implementing digital transformation, upskilling and re-skilling talent, fair chance hiring, and tech-driven tactics such as increasing transparency, enhancing efficiency, expediting adjudication, and accelerating time to fill with automated workflows. A machine-learning-based background screening solution like Checkr can help reduce human error and bias while increasing transparency and keeping candidates engaged throughout the hiring journey.
