Job seekers in competitive industries often reject job offers due to bad recruiting experiences. Due to their own errors, companies regularly miss out on their first choice. Luckily, this type of lost opportunity can be avoided. The right staffing firm and its top-notch recruiters, utilizing the right tools can help you avoid this mistake and keep those qualified candidates from slipping away.
One of these tools is a candidate experience survey, a short questionnaire asking candidates to review your hiring process. It can help you learn what is working and what is not if you are doing the hiring on your own.
Before starting, think about why you are sending the survey. In addition, ask questions covering every phase of the candidate’s experience. If there are areas of concern, it’s good to home in on those. Keep the survey short and simple. Allowing the survey to be answered anonymously generally increases participation and honest answering.
All staffing/recruiting firms should be trained to avoid lost opportunities so neither their client nor the job candidate loses out on their first choice. They should work with you to learn about your company and its culture, your products, and the jobs you want filled. The recruiting team should know who in your company is involved in filling your open positions and should work closely with that person from beginning to end, developing job descriptions and advertising, scheduling interviews and tours, answering questions and eventually making offers. The recruiters also should know the job candidates. In today’s market, job candidates must be courted. Your staffing/recruiting firm should be their go-to for any information needed in relation to your company and/or its job offer.
Recruiters should develop a bond quickly with all the people involved in your hiring process, so nothing gets missed and no one gets left behind. Everyone deserves to know where they stand throughout the whole process. For more information, just give me a call. I will help you develop a survey or recruit your next hire!
