Everything! Your attraction strategy is paramount to wooing and snaring top talent for your organisation. From making yourself highly desirable, to the successful union and signing of the contract, candidates need to feel the love.
All too often we have had feedback from job applicants who have been turned off by a prospective employer due to an unprofessional and unprepared recruiting process. To capture the interest of discerning or high caliber candidates you need to demonstrate your commitment to the relationship from start to finish. This includes engaging in a robust recruitment with a professional and warm approach.
Is there a strategy in place? Have you clearly identified your needs before you launch into advertising? Have you considered and engaged all parties involved in the process? Are systems in place to respond to all applicants? What about the type of interview you will conduct or how you will move forward with the assessment and offer? These are only some of the key areas to address beforehand, to ensure you don’t bumble through the process and ruin what could have been a great relationship.
