A career in recruitment comes with an endless supply of routine tasks. Collecting CVs, processing application forms, responding to the candidates, having back and forth with the key decision-makers.

We could keep this list of responsibilities going forever. 

But what if we told you there’s a way to automate all of those mundane tasks? You can leverage technology to suck the boredom out of your routine. And that’s exactly what the Microsoft Power Automate tool is made for. 

Formerly known as Flow, Power Automate is a business process management software (BPMS) that can help optimize, enhance, and automate business processes. Most businesses use it to automate recurring tasks, like managing requests or saving emails, lists, and other documents.

Now you might be thinking, “What does any of that have to do with recruitment?”

What makes the tool a dream come true for recruiters is that it can help make the recruitment process as simple as reviewing a series of auto-generated user profiles.

Yes, that’s right! No more wading through endless documents to collect data on potential hires.

With the help of Microsoft Power Automate, all you have to do is take the following steps to automate the entire process:

  • Create a job application form using a tool like Microsoft Forms. Make sure your form has all questions worth considering during the hiring process. 
  • Build two websites: one with WordPress where you will add your application form and the other with SharePoint for storing data about your candidates.
  • Finally, use Microsoft Power Automate to automate a profile creation process that will create an individual profile for each candidate and store their data.

Seems pretty simple, right?

So, if you want to make your recruitment process faster, simpler, and a whole lot more convenient, download the tool here.
