I recently had a meeting with a client who asked a critical question. "What more could we be doing to incentivise great candidates to join our company?" This question got me thinking about the challenges facing businesses in highly competitive sectors. Companies are always looking for ways to make themselves stand out from the competition, and the answer seems to lie in the candidate experience. Candidate experience is more critical now than ever, and companies must ensure that they are doing everything in their power to create a positive experience for potential candidates. Here are some top tips for companies hoping to convert more candidates into their next successful hire. By taking steps to improve the candidate experience, companies can attract and retain top talent in even the most competitive sectors. #recruitment #hiring #conversion

Generally, candidates are applying to more than one company at once. And if they are talented, they can expect multiple offers. Act too slowly and another company may get their offer in first - after all, if you’ve taken a week or more to reply to the candidate in question they may well think you’re not interested. Think of it this way - the longer your recruitment process, the less talented your pool of candidates will become, as the most capable are offered alternative positions. #RecruitementProcess #CandidateExperience

Candidate experience isn't just about the 'in the moment' recruitment, it also has a big impact on your employer brand and the amount of referrals you receive. A recent statistic claimed that a huge 97% of candidates who receive a positive experience would happily refer to others. Other benefits of a positive candidate experience include: 😊 The candidate will be more likely to accept the job if offered. 😊 A competitive advantage (if the candidate has other options). 😊 Better quality hires. 😊 Enhanced employer brand. Looking back on your recent recruitment activity, how would you rate your candidate experience? 🤔 #candidateexperience #recruitment #jobcandidate #outsourcedrecruitment

HIRING MANAGERS: Now is not the time to be dragging your feet. Speed is key to ensure that you attract top talent. One of the main reasons that many companies miss out on great candidates is because they drag-out and delay the recruitment process. Why does this matter?  Any delay will result in a decrease in candidate engagement as they connect with more efficient prospective employers who quickly snap them up;  Many candidates are seeking a new role immediately for financial reasons, and therefore if you hang about, you are likely to miss the small window of opportunity to connect with them. What can you do? - Ensure that you know exactly what you can offer a candidate, what you’re seeking and what your recruitment process looks like from the offset. - Communicate the above VERY clearly with all parties involved in the process. - Respond to and engage with prospective candidates as soon as possible.

Day 4 🙌 I had an insightful conversation with a candidate this week regarding an entry-level role. He began by expressing his gratitude for being considered for this specific position, rather than being outright rejected from the original role he applied for. Often, we come across candidates with impressive profiles who might not be a perfect fit for the specific role they initially applied for. However, these applications can be valuable sources of talent. If a candidate shows potential within the organization, why not reach out to them 🤔 Be transparent with candidates about why their application wasn’t retained for the initial role and explain why you believe their experience is relevant for a different position. In the search for talent, leveraging existing pipelines of candidates can be much more effective than starting from scratch every time. #TalentAcquisition #Recruitment #Hiring #HR #CareerDevelopment #JobSearch #TalentPipeline #CareerOpportunities #EmployeeEngagement

Improving candidate experience is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent. Here are some ways to improve candidate experience: Streamline the application process: Simplify the application process by reducing the number of steps and minimizing the time required to complete the application. Provide regular updates: Keep candidates informed about the status of their application and provide regular updates throughout the recruitment process. Personalize communication: Personalize communication with candidates by addressing them by name and tailoring communication to their specific interests and qualifications. Provide feedback: Provide constructive feedback to candidates, even if they are not selected for the position. This can help candidates improve their skills and increase their chances of success in future job searches. Offer a positive interview experience: Create a positive interview experience by being punctual, friendly, and professional. Make sure to provide clear instructions and answer any questions candidates may have. Provide a positive onboarding experience: Ensure that the onboarding process is smooth and welcoming. Provide new hires with all the necessary information and resources they need to succeed in their new role. Be transparent: Be transparent about the recruitment process, including the timeline, selection criteria, and any other relevant information. By implementing these strategies, you can create a positive candidate experience that will help you attract and retain top talent. #cvsourcers #candidate #candidates #job #receuitment

Are your job candidates dropping out mid-hiring process❓ In today's competitive job market, attracting and retaining top talent is more challenging than ever. One of the significant hurdles many companies face is candidates dropping out in the middle of the hiring process. Here are some key reasons why this might be happening: 1️⃣ Lengthy and unstructured process: Candidates may lose interest if the hiring process is too long or lacks clear communication about the next steps. 2️⃣ Lack of engagement: Failure to engage candidates throughout the process can lead them to seek opportunities elsewhere. 3️⃣ Poor candidate experience: A negative experience, such as unprofessional interactions or delays in communication, can deter candidates from continuing with the process. 4️⃣ Competitive offers: Candidates may receive competitive offers from other companies, prompting them to drop out of the current process. 5️⃣ Unclear job expectations: If the job requirements or expectations are not clearly communicated, candidates may lose interest. To mitigate these challenges, companies must streamline their hiring processes, communicate effectively with candidates, and provide a positive candidate experience.
