Subject: Time Spent on Manual Tasks in Recruitment
Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! As a recruiter in the financial sector, I’m curious about how much time others in our field spend on manual tasks that could potentially be automated.
In my experience, I often find myself dedicating around 2 hours each day to activities like data entry, interview scheduling, and communicating feedback from hiring managers.
I’m wondering if others face a similar situation. I would greatly appreciate any insights or feedback you may have. Thank you!

Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like you’re dealing with a common challenge in recruitment. Many recruiters find themselves spending a significant chunk of their time on manual tasks that could be streamlined or automated.
In my experience, it can vary widely depending on the tools and systems in place within an organization. Some recruiters might spend anywhere from 1-3 hours daily on tasks like data entry, scheduling, and follow-ups, which can definitely add up and take away from more strategic activities like candidate engagement and relationship building.
Automation tools, such as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or scheduling software, can really help cut down on this time. It might also be worth discussing with your hiring managers about best practices for providing feedback or streamlining the interview process to reduce the number of times you have to relay information back and forth.
It’d be interesting to hear what others are experiencing too, as well as any tools or solutions that have worked for you. Thanks for bringing this up!
Best,
