Hi there,

Welcome to the 27th edition of the Reczee Newsletter! 🎉

This week, we’re tackling a silent productivity killer in recruitment: manual hiring processes. Think endless spreadsheets, back-and-forth emails, and calendar ping-pong. They may seem manageable in the moment — but they’re costing recruiters hours, candidates patience, and companies top talent.

The question is: how manual is your hiring, really? Let’s find out 👇

How Manual Is Your Hiring? Are Spreadsheets Running Your Hiring?

We’ve identified the seven areas where manual work sneaks into hiring:

1. Application management: Is your team still tracking resumes in spreadsheets?

2. Screening : Do you rely on Ctrl+F instead of structured shortlisting?

3. Interview scheduling & evaluation : How many emails does it take to fix one reschedule?

4. Candidate communication : Are rejections and updates sent on time, from one place?

5. Team collaboration : Can everyone see the latest candidate status without asking around?

6. Reporting & analytics : Do your hiring metrics update in real time, or only after end-of-month crunching?

7. Automation & workflows : How much admin is still done manually instead of with simple rules?

Sound familiar? These are exactly the hidden costs of running hiring on spreadsheets and emails. What feels manageable at first quickly turns into multiple fragmented sheets, duplicate updates, and missed candidates. We’ve broken down some of the drawbacks of using spreadsheets for recruitment in detail in one of our blogs : from overwhelming spreadsheets to weak reporting, and why growing teams should eventually move to an ATS.

🌟 Wrapping Up

Manual hiring worked when applicant flow was light and speed wasn’t critical. But in 2025, manual processes are bottlenecks.

Start by measuring where you stand → then take small steps to modernize. The difference will show up not just in recruiter productivity, but also in candidate experience and hiring ROI.
