The Rise of the Well-Informed Candidate
Nowadays, before they hit ‘apply’, jobseekers want to visualise themselves in an organisation. They don’t just want a more detailed job description. Increasingly, company mission, corporate brand, culture and commitment to corporate social responsibility are becoming key deciding factors in making a move.
As a result, to secure the talent they need businesses to be upfront and open with candidates about what they can offer as an employer. Disclosing critical information about a role during the final interview won’t cut it anymore. Today’s jobseekers are looking for practical, emotional and interactive communications, which create positive and engaging candidate experience.
Information is power
It’s critical that employers align their attraction and recruitment processes to the preferences of the candidates they wish to attract.
