The Right Solutions for Public Sector Recruitment

The public sector recruitment process presents unique challenges. The software solutions you choose to support sourcing, attracting, hiring, and retaining quality candidates should come from a company with proven public sector experience. NEOGOV has proudly and exclusively served the public sector for over 20 years.

Facing a smaller candidate pool, fierce competition, and changing workplace expectations, hiring quality candidates today requires a new approach. The right recruitment software can help.

The public sector is uniquely suited to appeal to workers who value the opportunity to do meaningful work. But a slow and impersonal application process often gets in the way of turning applicants into hires.

NEOGOV recruitment software, including Insight, Attract, and GovernmentJobs.com, will eliminate the issues causing headaches for candidates and help you share the unique aspects of your organization that make it appealing to job seekers. Get easy-to-use tools that empower your staff without adding to their workload. Develop your organization's brand, better engage with candidates, automate compliance and time-consuming recruitment processes, and create a pipeline of top talent.

Read on to discover the NEOGOV recruitment software features that help you source, screen, and engage candidates, turning them from leads to hires to productive employees.

Detailed reports give you a clear view of what’s working and what’s not in your recruitment process. With analytics and reporting on your candidates and job postings from start to finish, you can adequately target efforts, determine ROI, and consistently make improvements.

Access Qualified Candidates

GovernmentJobs.com is the #1 public sector job board in the country and gives you immediate access to over 1.5 million candidates. With unlimited job postings, and the ability to boost posts for hard-to-fill positions, you can set yourself up for success by targeting the correct candidates from the start. With Attract’s virtual recruiter feature, you can access a database of past applicants and automate outreach for jobs that are not receiving enough applications.

Faster Hiring Process

With the ability to pre-screen candidates and set up auto-screening for minimum qualifications, you can ease the burden on staff while significantly cutting down on time to hire. Customize scoring with job-specific questions, and allow candidates to gather electronic references that are easy for HR to review quickly. NEOGOV’S automated, online process saves time from application to hire.

Better Candidate Communication

Automated tools to offer personalized text messages and emails throughout the application process engage candidates without burdening your staff. Create a consistent application experience that keeps candidates excited to apply when the right jobs become available. With Attract’s virtual recruiter feature, you can automate outreach to new and past applicants about job openings.
