Have questions about Rakuna’s Campus & Event Recruiting Solutions?
Check out our detailed FAQs below!
What kind of devices is compatible with Rakuna Recruit?
Rakuna Recruit mobile app is now available on the Apple App Store and Android Play Store. Users can deploy the app on iOS and Android devices.
How does the OCR technology work?
Rakuna’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which is AI-based and specifically designed for recruiting, automatically parses the following information from paper resumes:
- Full Name (required)
- Email (required)
- School / Institution (if applicable)
- Major (if applicable)
- GPA (if applicable)
- Graduation date (if applicable)
In case of low-quality snapshots, our team of Event Operators will assist the process and notify customers of unidentified candidates via email.
How accurate is your OCR technology?
Rakuna’s OCR has constantly been parsing resumes with over 99% accuracy rates, given the snapshots are taken in decent conditions by Mobile App users.
How long does it take for the parsing to be done? (for the information to show up on the My Candidate’s list)
Snapshots are handled in batch, and processing time may vary depending on the quantity, image quality, etc. But the parsing job has always been completed shortly after an event is over. Therefore, when your team returns to your office, all the snapshots should have been processed and ready to view.
Can I use Rakuna Recruit without WiFi/Data?
Yes. When no Internet is available, you can still capture candidate information and evaluation. The app will store the data locally. Once you have a WiFi/Data connection, you can click the “cloud” symbol in the “My Candidates” screen to sync and upload all data to the cloud. See detailed instructions at our Knowledge Base.
Can I customize the notes section and evaluation form?
Yes. You can create customized candidate evaluation forms and specifically assign them to each event.
What if candidates do not bring paper resumes?
Rakuna Recruit includes a ‘manual input’ option so you can let candidates enter their names and contact information so that you can reach out for an electronic version of their resumes after the event! Want to process candidates even faster? Use our ‘Kiosk mode.’ Candidates can fill in the most basic information for your team to reach out to post events. Users can put kiosk mode in a 'lock state.’ Without your authentication, candidates will not be able to access other parts of the Event Recruit App, keeping your data strictly confidential.

Shortage of Skilled Workers:

The International Road Transport Union estimates around 2,6 million unfilled truck driver positions globally. Knowing where and when your talent will be can help recruiters fill positions faster.
Rising Wages:

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers are witnessing a steady climb in the median hourly wage, a trend the bureau forecasted to continue as companies compete for the best talent in the industry in talent acquisition.
Importance of Employee Retention:

To retain talent, recruiters should include an attentive communication strategy highlighting their company's competitive benefits in their university recruiting approach.
