Have questions about Rakuna’s Campus & Event Recruiting Solutions?
What kind of devices is compatible with Rakuna Recruit?
Rakuna Recruit mobile app is now available on the Apple App Store and Android Play Store. Users can deploy the app on iOS and Android devices.
How does the OCR technology work?
Rakuna’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which is AI-based and specifically designed for recruiting, automatically parses the following information from paper resumes:Full Name (required)Email (required)School / Institution (if applicable)Major (if applicable)GPA (if applicable)Graduation date (if applicable)In case of low-quality snapshots, our team of Event Operators will assist the process and notify customers of unidentified candidates via email.
How long does it take for the parsing to be done? (for the information to show up on the My Candidate’s list)
Snapshots are handled in batch, and processing time may vary depending on the quantity, image quality, etc. But the parsing job has always been completed shortly after an event is over. Therefore, when your team returns to your office, all the snapshots should have been processed and ready to view.
Can I use Rakuna Recruit without WiFi/Data?
Yes. When no Internet is available, you can still capture candidate information and evaluation. The app will store the data locally. Once you have a WiFi/Data connection, you can click the “cloud” symbol in the “My Candidates” screen to sync and upload all data to the cloud.See detailed instructions at our Knowledge Base.
What if candidates do not bring paper resumes?
Rakuna Recruit includes a ‘manual input’ option so you can let candidates enter their names and contact information so that you can reach out for an electronic version of their resumes after the event! Want to process candidates even faster? Use our ‘Kiosk mode.’ Candidates can fill in the most basic information for your team to reach out to post events.Users can put kiosk mode in a ’lock state.’ Without your authentication, candidates will not be able to access other parts of the Event Recruit App, keeping your data strictly confidential.
Unlocking the Potential of Young Talent in Tourism: 3 Key Areas for Improvement
Flexibility in work schedules:
According to a report from employee experience platform Harri and data and insight consultancy CGA, up to 49% of a 5000-individual sample group said they first look for flexibility and work-life balance before accepting a hospitality job. Even through the interview process, recruiters can promote their company’s flexibility. With interview scheduling tools like Rakuna, you can hand your candidates the freedom of scheduling and rescheduling to engage with candidates or allocate resources to other critical tasks.
Improve candidate experience:
While it should go without saying, companies that successfully attract talent sell the company and candidate experience first, then the job and pay second. A positive candidate experience can begin with how you communicate with your lead. Need a communication strategy that is pertinent, timely, and attentive? Schedule post-event interactions using email or text automation features in software such as Rakuna’s Campus & Event Recruiting Solution. Don’t leave your prospects hanging.
Highlight technical efficiency:
With all of the technology being and will be implemented to improve the job efficiency of the hospitality industry, the prospect of doing tasks the “pen-and-paper way” can be terrifying, especially for young candidates in your college recruiting programs. Recruiters should highlight various technological aspects of a position if they are available. For example, voice-activated technologies like online reservation systems are all areas that hotel staff may manage and program.
Diversity and Inclusion:
Hospitality recruiters also need to address the issue of diversity and inclusivity in their recruitment strategies. Historically, the tourism industry has been criticized for its lack of diversity, particularly at the leadership level. To attract a diverse range of young talent, recruiters must be intentional in their efforts to create inclusive hiring practices and foster a culture of belonging within their organizations.
