Staffing software is another key formula to avoid the problems associated with manual recruitment. This software is used by the temporary staffing agencies associated with recruiting part-time applicants. Staffing agencies are third-party firms for placement. They perform other functions like human resourcing, payroll, job posting and accounting. It saves time and performs additional functions like checking the background, skills, qualifications and experiences and eliminates those candidates who are not suitable for the job designation. The staffing software also holds and stores the details and information of the candidates and notifies them whenever there is a new job opening appropriate for the candidates. Staffing software is a combination of applicant tracking system and customer relationship management.
