Hiring New Employees

Recruiting automation helps free your HR department or team leads from the arduous searching and the first-level interviewing process. Automation doesn’t replace recruiters, but it does allow recruiters to work more efficiently and productively. Automation also helps improve your new hires' quality and increases the odds you’ll find candidates who have the right experience.

Form Autofill

Filling out forms online might not seem like a challenging task, but when you navigate dozens of pages and apps a day, remembering and filling in your usernames, passwords, and personal information can get tedious. Autofill apps are an excellent way to automate the process and are easy to set up — some are even free.

Google Chrome offers an autofill feature in your browser window. When you fill out forms, Chrome offers to save the information for future use, including your address, payment details, and passwords.

You can start, stop, and manage the Chrome autofill feature by going to your Google profile inside a browser window.
