Subject: Automating Manual Tasks in Recruitment
Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! As a fellow recruiter in the financial sector, I’m curious about the time my peers dedicate to repetitive manual tasks that might be better automated.
In my experience, I often spend around 2 hours daily on activities like data entry, interview scheduling, and relaying feedback due to the high demand from hiring managers.
Is this experience common among you? I’d love to hear your thoughts and any insights you have. Thank you!

Hi there!
Thanks for sharing your experiences; it’s always helpful to hear from others in the sector. I can definitely relate to the time-consuming nature of manual tasks in recruitment. Many recruiters I know report spending anywhere from 1 to 3 hours daily on similar activities like data entry, scheduling interviews, and managing candidate feedback.
Automation tools can significantly reduce this burden. For instance, using ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) can streamline data entry, while scheduling tools can handle interview setups automatically, freeing up time for more strategic tasks like relationship building with candidates or engaging with hiring managers.
It’s concerning how much time we collectively lose to these processes, and I think the industry’s move towards embracing technology is crucial. It’s definitely worth exploring different tools and systems that can help us minimize these manual tasks.
What tools or solutions have you considered implementing in your recruitment process? Would love to hear your thoughts!
