Innovation and efficiency are of the utmost importance in the lightning-fast field of talent acquisition. With the introduction of CloudApper hrPad‘s AI-powered Text-to-Apply function, UKG’s talent acquisition process is about to become more simple and more efficient. This cutting-edge technology uses AI to improve the recruiting process, which benefits applicants and recruiters alike by making it easier and more accessible.

The Challenge of Traditional Talent Acquisition

Prospective employees may be put off by the lengthy application processes that are typical of traditional talent acquisition methods. Organizations who are in search of top talent may lose out on talented individuals if they have to endure lengthy online forms and complicated application portals. According to LinkedIn’s research in 2023, 72 percent of job searchers give up on lengthy applications. Recruiters may also struggle with the time and effort required to properly sort through a large number of applications.

The CloudApper Text-to-Apply Solution

In response to these difficulties, CloudApper hrPad has developed the Text-to-Apply function to provide a simple and effective method of talent acquisition in the UKG setting.

Streamlined Application Process

For UKG users, the new talent acquisition process is made easier with the Text-to-Apply function. It lets current workers post open opportunities with their friends and family, and interested applicants can simply react with a text message to show their interest. This streamlines the application process, making it easier for more candidates to apply without having to fill out lengthy online forms.

Convenient and Accessible

Candidates can apply for positions from their mobile devices with a simple text, making the process more accessible and convenient. This is especially beneficial for reaching candidates who may not have immediate access to a computer or prefer a more straightforward application method.

AI-Powered Screening

Leveraging artificial intelligence, CloudApper hrPad‘s Text-to-Apply feature can automatically screen and filter applications based on predefined criteria. This not only accelerates the initial screening process but also ensures that recruiters focus their attention on the most qualified candidates.
