As more and more candidates are passively looking for the right opportunities, they are evaluating every move an employer makes. \u00a0They are evaluating the company, the recruiters, and the leadership within an organization. \u00a0 They are researching the organizations and they are talking to their peers and co-workers. \u00a0Quite simply, their voice and opinion matters! In the Internet driven world, things go viral quicker than ever before, and a bad experience can potentially damage your brand and future hires for your company.<\/p>\n<p>Employers need to think about every step in the process when working with candidates.\u00a0 Recruiters are the first people that candidates talk to when they interface with a company.\u00a0 As we all know all too well as Human Resource professionals, first impressions go a long way.\u00a0 If you are going to attract the right candidates, you better have the best recruiters to represent your company and your brand.\u00a0 A run -of -the -mill paper pusher will not help you get the key hires you are looking to make in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Recruiters will need to be articulate.\u00a0 They will need to be good communicators and understand the mission, vision and goals of the organization.\u00a0 They need to be excellent listeners.\u00a0 Recruiters that can match the goals of the candidate with the duties of the job will ultimately lead to the success of the organization.\u00a0 All too often recruiters are interested in filling the role and the candidate experience is lost.\u00a0 When the candidates needs and wants are not met and they feel pressured into a role, then they will be disgruntled with their experience.<\/p>\n<p>Managers have to be cognizant of the candidate experience also.\u00a0 Timeliness and good interviewing skills are imperative.\u00a0 The candidate\u2019s time is valuable and they will be frustrated and share their poor experiences with others if they are good or bad.\u00a0 The last thing you want is someone from senior leadership representing your organization poorly.<\/p>\n<p>When I think about candidate experience, I always think about the on boarding experience.\u00a0 Organizations always think about the hiring, but how they bring them on board is often forgotten.\u00a0 Not having the 30, 60, 90 day plan for your employee looks poor.\u00a0 Training individuals and making sure they understand your product is so important.\u00a0 More times than we would like to admit we rush employees into positions without having a desk space or a laptop.\u00a0 If that were you, what would your impression be?<\/p>\n<p>Taking this all into consideration, this is why candidate experience is so important to employers.\u00a0 You should want to hire the best and retain the best.\u00a0 It is May and my\u00a02015\u00a0prediction is dead on accurate.\u00a0Retaining employees\u00a0has proven to be a challenge.\u00a0\u00a0Consumer confidence\u00a0has continued to soar\u00a0and people who haven\u2019t looked for jobs in years are listening to opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is it going to be?\u00a0 Are you going to take a close look at your candidate experience this year?\u00a0 What are you going to do differentiate yourself from other companies that are trying to attract the same talent?\u00a0 The strong will win and the mediocre will lose.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll put on the gloves to win the fight if you won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/@willrecruits.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1358\" src=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/@willrecruits.png\" alt=\"@willrecruits\" width=\"184\" height=\"35\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/subscribe-to-bulls-eye-recruiting-updates\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-401\" src=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/subscribe2.png\" alt=\"subscribe\" width=\"308\" height=\"73\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bullseyerecruiting.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/@willrecruits.png\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s take a close look at the recruitment process.
