Key Takeaways:
Proactive approach: Start the interview process as soon as a suitable candidate is identified, rather than waiting for multiple candidates to apply. Engaging with candidates early demonstrates the company’s interest and commitment to the hiring process.
Employer brand: Candidates engaged with a compelling employer brand are more likely to stay committed throughout the hiring process. Delays in the hiring process due to company hiring policies can cause the singular suitable candidate to feel undervalued and frustrated, deterring them away from the company.
Rethink your hiring policies: Poorly executed hiring policies can significantly tarnish an employer’s brand, leading to negative perceptions of the company’s values, and culture to fairness, thereby deterring top talent and damaging its reputation in the competitive market.
The job market: The job market is increasingly competitive, making it challenging to find multiple candidates with the precise qualifications and expertise required for such a specialised role.
Competitive Advantage: In today’s competitive job market, top candidates are often in high demand and may receive multiple job offers simultaneously. Companies should act swiftly to secure the best talent before they commit to other opportunities.
Behind the scenes: You can ensure that your recruitment partner rigorously screens and shortlists only the top candidates to make the hiring process more efficient and effective, even if the client is only presented with one ideal candidate.
