Candidate Experience
Discover why 74% of businesses are improving their candidate experience.
Candidate Experience
Any recruiters goal is rightly defined as 'finding the best candidates'. However, most organisations often overlook what it’s actually like applying for a job at their company, and there is often a disconnect referred to as “poor candidate experience”.
There are compelling reasons for fixing this and they stretch beyond good manners. First, the majority of unhappy candidates won’t try again once they’ve had a bad experience. A significant percentage of them will also tell their friends to not bother either and very poor experiences can lead to actually losing revenue.
Every hiring process turns up lots of rejected candidates and some "near misses", so no sensible company can afford to lose these talented people from their pool of potential future hires. With the likes of Glassdoor, Vault and CareerLeak it’s never been easier to research a company’s reputation.
