Improving candidate experience doesn’t require much time; significant expertise or resources, unlike other elements that contribute to a successful employer brand. Here are a few ways to help you improve your candidate experience.
-
Don’t waste candidates’ time
Many candidates will give up on a position they have applied for if they don’t hear back from the company after two weeks of applying. This due to the never-ending possibilities that a candidate can have. If it takes you too long, candidates will choose an employer who appreciates their time more than you do.
-
Set clear expectations
For an applicant, the worst thing is not knowing what the next step will be. Will he/she be contacted by an HR manager by next week? Will he/she ever get an answer? In order to solve this problem, you must let the candidate know what they should expect in terms of communication immediately in the job ad.
-
Get feedback from the candidates
He easiest way to know what needs improvement is to ask the candidates that have already had an experience with the process. A great example is a poll. A poll can be sent to all candidates that have a had an initial interview and ask them about their thought regarding the hiring process so far.
-
Have a clear process for every step in hiring
You should let your candidate know exactly what steps are included in the hiring process, as they apply. A well-informed job applicant is more likely to be satisfied with the company. Even though transparency should be a core element for your company, transparency in hiring is essential in order to provide a good experience for your candidates.
