According to a recently released Manpower Study, 23% of Wisconsin employers surveyed are planning to add employees, with only 10% expecting to reduce their payrolls.

This is great news for our local economy and a further sign that we are seeing an (albeit slow) overall recovery.

In conditions where the talent pool starts shrinking due to employment expansion, it’s important for recruiters to make sure that their sourcing and presentation efforts are as optimized as possible.  Using Voice Advantage helps you efficiently find the best candidates, and our presentation options allow you to quickly get hiring manager feedback, reducing Total Time to Hire by up to 75%.

In cases where, unfortunately, the recovery hasn’t been very robust, an opposite problem occurs.  For those employers who are hiring, the volume of candidates can be overwhelming.  Putting Voice Advantage to work helps manage the funnel, allowing recruiters to screen candidates in 2-3 minutes instead of the usual 20-30 minutes.  Our built-in candidate notification features also allow you to quickly correspond with those candidates who won’t be moving forward in the process.  Being unemployed is hard enough; don’t compound candidate anxiety by leaving them in a Black Hole after they submit to your ATS.

Whether your local job market is strong or weak, as recruiters let’s not forget that we ultimately want to get the best person into the seat.  Voice Advantage is a great tool to help achieve that goal.
