Duct cleaning companies clean the ducts of both commercial and residential businesses, usually by attaching a specific vacuum system to the duct system. This process removes the buildup of dirt, dust and even mold and pathogens from the duct system, which can be irritating or even harmful to a building’s occupants.
There are a variety of duct cleaning companies, some with their own proprietary methods, but all are in the business of creating better environmental health for their clients. To do this, they need not only the best technology but also the best people. To find the best candidates for the job, they need the right candidate tracking software.
Finding the Best Duct Cleaning Applicants
Finding the perfect candidate for a position can be difficult no matter what the business; it’s no different for duct cleaning companies. Sorting through piles of applications from people who may or may not be qualified can quickly get frustrating. Not to mention, you might get over 100 applications for a single position and not find one ideal candidate.
Duct cleaning companies may even make hires with great resumes and dispositions and find that it was the wrong choice to do so, wasting money and time that they as businesses do not want to lose. That’s why duct cleaning companies should use candidate tracking software, as many already do, to find the best applicants for their businesses. Candidate tracking software is for all businesses and its benefits are available for all businesses too.
How Does Candidate Tracking Software Work?
Candidate tracking software allows a duct cleaning company to put together a list of people they would like to get to know better, and perhaps to hire, well in advance of putting together a job ad. These companies can then cultivate relationships with these people that may lead to a hire. Once it is time for a job ad, candidate tracking software can glean necessary information from resumes, rate candidates based on this and present a list to the duct cleaning company head or HR person. Such a list is invaluable; it replaces the work of going through resumes manually and trying to figure out who is best suited for the job. Instead, candidate tracking software can give duct cleaning companies a good idea of who their best candidates are very quickly.
Once that is taken care of, candidate tracking software keeps track of every interaction — the first phone call to ask for an interview, the first interview and follow-up, the second interview and so on until a hiring decision is made.
Candidate tracking software can alert duct cleaning companies when it is time to move onto the next phase of the hiring process, taking the fear of forgetting an essential step out of the equation. Once the perfect number of employees is hired, duct cleaning companies can save their top picks who didn’t get hired and continue to cultivate relationships with them in case they need to reopen their hiring campaign again in the near future. It helps to get to know high quality talent and to keep it close, especially for a skill as specialized and highly sought after as duct cleaning and maintenance.
