Paylocity Unveils New Recruiting Innovations to Meet the Demands of High-Volume Hiring and Elevate the Candidate Experience

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Jan. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the talent market evolving rapidly, employers face increased challenges navigating high volumes of applications, identifying the best candidates, and ensuring compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws. Today, Paylocity announces new enhancements to its Recruiting platform that enable hiring teams to not only streamline and accelerate hiring processes but also improve the quality of candidate searches. By helping recruiters efficiently evaluate applications and focus on securing top talent, these updates address critical needs for modern recruiting.

Empowering High-Volume Hiring Teams
Companies in retail, hospitality, and other high-turnover industries often grapple with recruiting challenges, such as managing extensive data, addressing communication gaps, and navigating time-consuming manual tasks. Paylocity’s latest enhancements tackle these recruiting challenges head-on by streamlining workflows, improving candidate engagement, and enabling data-driven decision-making.

“We understand the pressure hiring teams face to attract and evaluate qualified candidates quickly,” said Steve Beauchamp, Paylocity Executive Chairman of the Board. “Our enhanced Recruiting platform empowers organizations to source top talent efficiently, deliver a seamless candidate experience, and ultimately fill roles faster, while reinforcing their employer brand by helping hiring teams focus on quality over quantity.”

Paylocity enables hiring teams to seamlessly access and track all candidate data within a single profile. From there, teams can manage applications, communications, and evaluations; schedule interviews, send offer letters, and even initiate and track pre-hire assessments and background checks—all without leaving the Paylocity platform. This streamlines processes, saves time, and delivers a simple, effortless user experience.

Key Innovations Include:
1. Streamlined Scheduling for Recruiters: Integration with Microsoft Outlook, Gmail and iCloud enables recruiters to access real-time availability, send calendar invites with meeting links and documents, and synchronize updates, keeping all parties in sync.

2. Candidate Interview Self-Scheduling: Candidates can easily schedule interviews at their convenience, eliminating back-and-forth with recruiters. Automated notifications ensure all participants stay informed, reducing delays and creating a smooth scheduling process.

3. One-Way Video Interviews: Hiring teams can efficiently screen candidates by enabling them to respond to screening questions via video. By eliminating scheduling conflicts and delays, one-way video interviews significantly accelerate the initial screening phase, enabling hiring teams to connect with and quickly narrow down a broader talent pool.

4. Integrated Candidate Assessments: Through partnerships with assessment vendors in the Paylocity Marketplace, recruiters can seamlessly manage pre-hire assessments within the same recruiting workflow as all other tasks, simplifying the evaluation process., recruiters can seamlessly manage pre-hire assessments directly within the Recruiting platform, simplifying the evaluation process.
