Contrary to popular belief, in the age where tasks are made seamless, job hunting has become a tedious process, right from polishing a resume and finding the right opportunity to having to fill out several forms and then waiting to hear from a prospective employer. According to the Society of Human Resource Management, almost 60percent of job seekers quit midway filling out an employment application if it's too long or complex to understand.

On the flipside, employers often have to sift through piles of job applications, only to end up hiring the wrong person for the job.

Or companies could find the right candidate fit for the job role and the company's culture? There are several such solutions to even more peculiar challenges in the recruitment industry.
