Is Salesforce the Future of Staffing and Recruiting Software?

Salesforce is the leading cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) platform, known for its ability to un-silo data and enable the entire organization to connect with customers seamlessly and efficiently.

Although Salesforce has been used by staffing and recruiting firms for years, as pressure increases to engage and retain clients and talent in an unpredictable economy, many firms are looking for ways to spend less time on administrative work and manual processes and more time doing what they do best: talking to people.

Salesforce plays a major role in enabling staffing and recruiting firms to create a streamlined and profitable end-to-end client and talent pipeline, but it’s only one part of the equation.

Salesforce provides unmatched engagement, connection, reporting, analytics, and AI capabilities, but it lacks the business process-specific tools staffing and recruiting firms need, such as applicant tracking and search and match.

Asymbl Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is the next-generation solution in this space. Harnessing the power of Salesforce's extensive customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities, Asymbl helps staffing and recruiting firms bridge Salesforce’s recruiting technology gaps with “bolt on'' capabilities that allow firms to select the applications and tools that best support their company’s specific hiring workflows and recruiting processes.

Asymbl enables staffing firms and corporate recruiters to assemble a comprehensive, business process-specific tech stack while still leveraging all of the products Salesforce offers, which is a huge departure from other ATS solutions. Many ATS vendors don’t build on their own platforms. A handful leverage the Salesforce platform as the technical foundation, but then build their own “all-in-one” solution on top of it. This platform-only approach significantly limits access to Salesforce’s core functionality, features, and products and eliminates your ability to configure workflows to meet your business’s needs instead of what a vendor tells you your needs should be.

The Evolution of Staffing and Recruiting

Staffing and recruiting industry technology is evolving more rapidly than ever before. When the pandemic changed market dynamics and accelerated digital transformation, businesses had to adapt or risk losing their market share.

Today, the labor market is highly competitive—but also uncertain. Although unemployment is low, large-scale layoffs are not uncommon, and many would-be top candidates are nervous to make a move.

Even when candidates are available, hiring managers are being more specific about who they will hire, which adds extra time, administrative work, and effort for staffing and recruiting professionals.

As a result, many staffing and recruitment companies are looking at new technology options to help them succeed in a challenging employment environment.
