Begin successful hiring with a good candidate experience. Start the moment anyone in the process approaches the candidate. This is true for passive and active candidates. And it’s true for professional recruiters, internal corporate recruiters, or hiring managers doing their own recruiting directly.
The person approaching candidates for consideration must understand your company. They must know what your company does, it’s position in the market place. These factors make up points of value to gain the interest of a candidate. This is, or should be, a positive experience and in that way, candidates can feel a strong reason why your company is is interesting to them. And they aren’t likely going to look for reasons not to come on board.
A bad candidate experience can lose the interest of the right candidate no matter what the final offer.
How To Ensure A Good Candidate Experience
- Engage with recruiters that have a reputation for representing your company well to candidates. It’s easy to see this by looking at hiring records, and calling references.
- Take time to educate the people calling and talking to candidates. Ensure they know your business, and the reasons employees like working at your company.
- Listen to recommendations from your recruiter. They can advise on how best to relate to the interests of your preferred candidate.
