To get right to the point: for 25 years, recruitment has not received the attention it deserves. Not even now, in this tight labor market. Incomprehensible right?
Because the success of your company or organization is carried by your employees. And how do you get the most motivated and talented employees?
Indeed, recruitment!
In this tight job market, the best candidates don’t come to you by themselves. They have to be spotted and enticed into contact through a personal approach, an enormously labor-intensive process.
In addition, developing and promoting a positive employer image of the company, including the company culture, values and opportunities for growth has become incredibly important. This can set your organization apart from competitors.
Recruitment is also the first contact a potential new colleague has with your company. The first impression is decisive in choosing a new employer. So it is actually your company’s signboard.
After the first impression, it is very important that the application process goes off without a hitch. Think for example of good personal feedback after a job interview, the number one wish of applicants. Because that is also where your company’s reputation lies in the hands of recruitment.
Starred research shows:
60% of job applicants have experienced a negative candidate experience at some point.
72% have shared this online.
Most people check at least 6 reviews before forming an opinion about your organization.
Some 55% of job applicants avoid companies about which they have read bad reviews.
