As a result of the recessionary economy, the ratio of candidates to job openings has spiked. Conversely, companies are under intense pressure to hire the right candidate the first time in order to recognize competitive advantages and control recruiting costs. With corporate recruiters already stretched thin, the task of reviewing hundreds – sometimes thousands – of resumes for a single opening is an unmanageable initiative. With this new, innovative solution, MBS' Resume Response addresses this challenge for employers by presenting only qualified, interested and available applicants for review, while also solving a top frustration for candidates – a lack of communication.  

"In addition to identifying high quality applicants, Resume Response ensures timely communication with all candidates," said Kate Donovan, Managing Director, Manpower Business Solutions – RPO/BPO. "Promoting a positive candidate experience resonates with human resource professionals who recognize the importance of maintaining their employer brand with everyone who enters the hiring process."

How does Resume Response work?

MBS' Resume Response accelerates the recruiting process by evaluating, assessing and screening applicants according to the hiring company's job requisition. This enables MBS recruiters to present employers with only qualified applicants. Resume Response promotes a positive employer brand experience by automatically sending letters to those candidates whose qualifications did not match the specific job requisition's hiring criteria. To help build a talent community of future job seekers, MBS recruiters proactively continue to build relationships and foster communications with respondents to ensure high potential candidates remain engaged for further openings.

MBS' Resume Response is quick and easy to implement, working with a hiring company's existing applicant tracking system or leveraging MBS' technology. The offering is ideal for companies looking to manage a large number of applicants and ensure a positive employer brand as the economy returns.

"Investing directly in all of the tools and resources that we make available through Resume Response would take a significant amount of research, time and budget," said Donovan. "With Resume Response, MBS clients receive a comprehensive solution that helps solve one of the most common recruiting challenges."
