If you’re still using spreadsheets to manage hiring, you’re probably buried in messy data, missed follow-ups, and lost candidates. In this post, we’ll show you a faster, simpler way to hire your team without using spreadsheets.

But before we proceed, let’s look at the problems with using spreadsheets to hire.

• Spreadsheets were made for organizing data, not hiring. You have to enter candidate details and update statuses manually. This is time-consuming and prone to human error.
• They also create messy, disorganized workflows. As applications grow, rows and columns quickly become chaotic. And without proper structure or automation, tracking progress and filtering candidates becomes overwhelming.
• On top of that, hiring using spreadsheets makes team collaboration difficult. Sharing a single spreadsheet full of data may lead to version confusion and delays. You end up with missed follow-ups and slow decisions.
• And lastly, they may cost you great candidates. Manual tracking wastes time, and while you’re updating cells, other recruiters using better systems are already making offers to top talent.

So, how can you hire your team without using spreadsheets?

Consider using a fast, lightweight, and easy-to-use platform designed for hiring, such as Workscreen. Just like spreadsheets, it is simple to set up, but it offers the structure and automation that spreadsheets lack.

Instead of managing rows and columns for weeks, Workscreen does the heavy lifting. It automatically collects and organizes applicant data, so there’s no need for manual entry or updates.

It screens candidates on your behalf and filters out unqualified ones. You will get a shortlist of the best candidates, all in one organized dashboard.

Besides that, you can easily collaborate with the rest of your team on this hiring platform since it  supports collaboration to ensure everyone stays aligned and decisions move faster. WorkScreen also helps you hire in days, not weeks, so you never lose great talent due to slow processes. And once you identify the best candidates, you can even send them short skill tests to verify real-world ability before hiring all within the same platform.
