It’s that time of year again! The end of December is upon us, we have a few major holidays behind us, and a few more to go! At the end of each year we recommended that you “tidy up” your candidate and requisition data to get ready for the new year. Having worked with thousands of administrators, recruiters and hiring managers over the years, we have put together a simple list of suggested to-dos to get you ready for 2022!
ATS Data Clean Up Tasks
- Search for any candidates that have not been reviewed, and move to a “Not Selected” Status.
- Email candidates with a “Not Selected” email, it’s good practice and gives you a way to keep in touch with the candidates for future job openings. Encourage the candidate to stay in touch by following your company on your preferred social media channel.
- Review any users who no longer need access (Administrators, Recruiters and/or Hiring Managers), and update your list of active users and contacts. Don’t delete old users, to preserve their history, change them to an “inactive” status instead.
- Remove any expired job listings from your career site.
- Create any reports you need to save.
- Export/download any data you would like to save offline.
Plan Ahead for 2022
Early January is when a lot of potential candidates decide to look for a new job, often as part of a New Year’s Resolution. Since “The Great Resignation” of 2021, we may see even more activity in early 2022.
- Schedule jobs or get them approved to post early in January for maximum exposure, especially if you have planned time off during this time.
- Schedule your social media advertising for jobs.
- Plan your budget for the upcoming year.
- Schedule an email blast to let applicants know when you are looking for new hires.
- Schedule any training you need for iRecruit in 2022.
- Add any important dates or reminders for 2022 to your iRecruit calendar.
