Currently employers often delegate responsibility of hiring to a single person. That single person has the weight of expectation on their shoulders to find that dynamite candidate. The problem with this approach is that it rarely works. Rarely does that candidate come through the door and rarely will you find them. They probably went to your competitor, yes, your biggest competitor.

Hiring is a conversation. A conversation between candidates and employers, between recruiters and candidates and YOU. Why is it that all current applicant tracking systems have no means to build a conversation? After all, conversations are important.

You cannot have a conversation with a CV, or a database. You definitely cannot have a worthwhile conversation with one person doing the hiring. You can have transactions, but I think you and I want to digress away from them.

Creating great conversations about a candidate/position makes hiring non-transactional. A very, very, important aspect of hiring is the number of conversations you have. Conversations with current employees, opinions, rating, comments. Conversations with candidates, recruiters. These all count.

In a diversified world where degrees can be bought and sold on the internet, skill shortages are rampant in all industries and sectors and people appear to be busier every day; these conversations are become more relevant and very important.
