Talent Connects’ ATS vs Job Portals: A Recruitment Revolution

In today’s dynamic recruitment landscape, it is crucial for companies to use an efficient system to identify top talents. Many companies still rely on job portals such as Merojob and Kumari Job for their recruitment process. However, it is high time companies switch to Talent Connects’ Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Talent Connects is the first company in Nepal to introduce the concept of ATS.

While these job portals, Merojob and Kumari Job, post vacancies that is available only in their platform and wait for applicants to apply, Talent Connects takes this to the next level by sourcing top talents through LinkedIn, that too at a affordable price than these job portals. Talent Connects’ ATS not only helps in simplifying the hiring process but also aids in managing the candidates’ resumes, know the status of each candidate in real time and automate communication with the candidates.

This blog mainly elaborates on how Talent Connects’ ATS takes the lead over job portals in Nepal.

1. LinkedIn Integration:

Talent Connects allows for seamless integration of its ATS with LinkedIn, allowing recruiters to expand their sourcing capabilities and gain global reach as they can post jobs in more than 190 countries reaching 1.97 million users in Nepal and 1.15 billion users globally. By posting jobs via LinkedIn, that only requires a few clicks, recruiters can ensure maximum flow of CVs of top talents who are seeking for opportunities. As the world’s largest professional networking platform, LinkedIn taps into both active as well as passive candidates who have not actively applied but may be a great fit for the role.

In contrast, Merojob and Kumari Job, as job portals, lack this integration and outreach.

2. Pricing:

Talent Connects’ ATS is designed to support all forms of businesses, from SMEs and startups to large corporations. By posting jobs on LinkedIn via Talent Connects, companies can receive unlimited number of applicants and the job will be live on LinkedIn for a duration of 30 days in all of its 3 plans.

Comparison on Price and Job Duration:

S. No.	Comparison	Talent Connects	Mero Job	Kumari Job
1	Price	Rs 4500/ per job	Rs 12,000 / per job	Rs 8,000 / per job
2	Duration	30 Days	15 Days	14 Days

All of these prices are exclusive of VAT.

The jobs posted through Talent Connects will be shared across 3 platforms:

LinkedIn page of the company posting the vacancy.
The career page of the posting company (available only in annual subscription).
Job board of Talent Connects’ website.

Imagine getting all of the ATS features at this price range- sounds like a recruiter’s dream come true right? On the downside, in case of Merojob and Kumari Job, the jobs are displayed only in their website.

Comparing the prices we can definitely see that Talent Connects provides better value for money along with powerful and advanced features.

3. Interview Scheduling:

Talent Connects offers interview scheduling feature that helps recruiters to coordinate with all candidates regarding the interviews. Automated calendar synchronization via Google Calendar eliminates confusion about the interview date and time. Recruiters can schedule interview with multiple candidates as per their availability. This feature ensures seamless experience for both recruiters and candidates as it reduces back-and-forth communication between them.

In contrast, Merojob and Kumari job do not have interview scheduling capabilities. Recruiters are required to schedule interviews manually through phone calls, email or using external tools making this simple step time consuming.

4. Live Video Interview:

Once the interview is scheduled, with Talent Connects’ in-built feature, recruiters can conduct live video interview directly from the ATS itself. Recruiters can analyze the candidates’ communication skills and professionalism without having to conduct an in-person interview. The feature to conduct and provide feedback after every interview allows for easy evaluation, future reference, seamless communication and enhanced candidate experience. By leveraging this feature, companies can connect with diverse talent pool across the globe irrespective of the geographical distance.

On the other hand, Merojob and Kumari Job do not have this advanced in-built feature. In case recruiters want to conduct virtual interview, they will need to rely on third-party tools such as Zoom and personally schedule the interview.

Since the companies are adopting remote and hybrid work modes, live video interview can be considered as one of the modern recruitments needs that Talent Connect caters to.

5. Customizable Candidate Screening:

Recruiters can customize the candidate screening process by setting pre-assessment questions for every job role to identify candidates who meet role-specific requirements and have the necessary skill-sets before shortlisting them to the next step. Based on the answers provided by candidates, scores are calculated, helping recruiters to filter out unqualified candidates and ensure that only best talents move forward.

Similarly, Merojob and Kumari Job do have basic candidate screening feature, but they limited in functionality.
