Hiring a new employee is an extensive process. Not only does a company's HR department have to post the job opening, but they also have to sift through resumes to find the right people to interview - and that's just the beginning.

Fortunately there is software available that can help streamline the entire process - from posting jobs to coaching new hires, and everything in between. To ensure your company is hiring as smart (and as efficient) as possible, check out the seven HR solutions featured below:

Sales Indicator

The Sales Indicator solution from InsideSales is a hiring software that enables sales managers to forcast how a candidate will perform before hiring.
