Human Resources consultants estimate there are more than 20,000 HR software and technology products on the market.

It’s an incredibly fragmented market with new tools coming and going every day.

There is no one-size-fits all technology solution that fits the needs of recruiters in any industry.

Perhaps that will change in the future.

But for now, most recruiting professionals assemble a “recruiting stack” of tools best suited for their situation.

Here are the basic communication tools included in the recruiting stack of most real estate recruiters / hiring managers:

Phone
Email
Text
Video Conferencing

Also, the basic software tools included in the recruiting stack of most real estate recruiters / hiring managers consist of:

Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
Customer/Candidate Relationship Management System (CRM)
On-Boarding System

Do a quick inventory.  Are you using these tools?

Are you utilizing and optimizing the use of these tools to increase your effectiveness?
