Don’t have the time to watch? Here’s a recap.
Candidate experience has been a hot topic in recruitment for years. However, plenty of companies out there don’t prioritise it and, therefore, miss an opportunity and great candidates in the process. Seems like it’s even worse on the agency side – other aspects are in focus, leaving candidate experience completely in the background.
Whether you work as an in-house recruiter or as an agency recruiter, this makes the recruitment process one-sided…which we all know is not the case.
Providing a great candidate experience is achievable when you get the basics right!
We asked Laura and Paul what the biggest mistakes in recruitment are. Luckily, these are all easy to avoid:
- Making candidates go through a long recruitment process with too many stages and 4-hour interviews. Design the process and interviews to be engaging. Don’t waste the candidates’ time and your own time!
- Giving candidates tasks and homework, which take up hours of their time, without them getting anything in return. Making them feel that they are already doing the work for free. Yikes!
- Misalignment of the salaries throughout the process stages. Talking about one range in the first stages and then making a low-ball offer in the final stage? Sounds like a definite ‘no’ and bad review on Glassdoor.
- Just overall bad communication and not keeping the candidate informed. This also includes not involving hiring managers in the process and not getting any feedback from them.
