Make Hiring Easier
Whether your company is at its exciting origin story or you are experiencing natural attrition over time, at some point in your career you will need to hire more employees. Finding the right people who fit the company’s needs and unique culture can be a tall order. Luckily, technology comes to the rescue once again so you do not have to wade through seemingly innumerable resumes and applications to find the best candidates.
A resume parsing tool is a computer program that has been specifically designed to analyze a document, in this case, a resume, to find specific keywords that you and your hiring manager have deemed essential to the role. These keywords are usually found in the job description that has been endorsed and advertised for the open position. The resume parsing technology sorts through the document to help you determine if the applicant is a match and filters out the other resumes that do not match, thus making the hiring process more streamlined.
Communicate with Consumers Effectively
If you have been online, you have probably benefited from using a chatbot. A chatbot is a specifically designed computer program that is useful in facilitating communication with your customers. When they visit your website or social media platforms, they can engage with a chatbot quickly instead of waiting in a queue for a human to respond.
You have the option to place the bot on every page with a question of “How can I help you?” or “What are you looking for today?” A chatbot should undoubtedly exist on your FAQ and Contact Us pages to facilitate the gathering of information for your company and the visitor.
Chatbots are time-savers as they remove the busy work from your employees by answering simple questions and narrowing down what the customer actually wants or needs. If it is a basic question or two, the chatbot will handle it. Should the question become more complex, the conversation can be sent to a live agent or customer service representative to handle the issue with a more human skill set.

By utilizing technology to save you and your team time from the extra busy work that must be done, you get to do what you do best, which is to run your company. And, one of the best advantages to saving time is that you have more time to interact face-to-face with the people who are helping you to grow your business. It is a win for everyone.
