From shaking someone's hand to actually reading through a candidate's cover letter andresume-- many employers are bypassing important aspects of the hiring process, much to applicants' chagrin.

However, that doesn't mean technology should get the boot from your hiring process. To give candidates the most ideal experience, strike a balance between tech and a human touch. Nearly every survey participant agreed that technology should be used as an "aid" in the hiring process, not replace it.

In the study, respondents identified "the degree of personal, human interaction during the process" and "the recruiter/hiring manager I worked with" as the top two aspects that contributed to a positive experience during their last job search. To the contrary, the top two reasons companies leave negative impressions on job seekers are "the length of the hiring process" and "the communication level throughout the selection process."

"The findings reinforce what we've believed for quite some time, that successful talent acquisition lies at the intersection between technology and human touch," said Randstad U.S. CEO Linda Galipeau. "If done correctly, the right combination of personal interaction with the power of today's intelligent machines can create an experience that is inherently more human."
