What’s the best way of keeping candidates engaged during an interview process? 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ✅ On a weekly catch-up with one of my favourite clients this morning, one topic of conversation was how invested our candidates are in their interview process. This is because of the effort made to communicate quickly and clearly at 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 step of the process. The candidate gets direct feedback via email 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 🙌 Not only that; they are informed of what’s involved in the next steps and what availability they have to book this in 👏 I know, it sounds so simple and obvious. But it makes a 𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗘 difference 💯 It builds credibility, trust and ensures that positive momentum is maintained in the process. #recruitment #recruiter #recruiters #recruiting #hiring

I had a hiring manager who didn't like the idea of sending candidates some pointers before the interview. 🤔 They said that candidates should work hard for it. “If they want the job, they should prepare for the interview without recruiters sharing any pointers.” But I still sent those pointers anyway. 😄 Preparing for an interview can be overwhelming, but with a little guidance, candidates can feel more confident and prepared. Those pointers could help them brainstorm potential questions around those topics, jot down some talking points, and align their experiences to emphasize relevant skills. It's not about taking the easy way out - it's about setting candidates up for success and ensuring a positive interview experience for everyone involved. 💪 #recruitment #interviewpreparation #jobinterview

If you're a startup or smaller company managing your own hiring, interview scorecards will change your game. 📋 As we head into the weekend, we're sharing some tips on the blog for creating interview scorecards and questions to include for specific roles.

Why send a follow-up email after an interview? I know not all recruiters like follow-up emails and is a practice that's entirely up to the candidate, but I feel like a follow-up email is crucial. I tend to send follow-up emails after an interview with a company that I am really interested in. I do my research and assess the tone of the recruiter; if my gut is telling me to send a follow-up email, I do. I believe follow-up emails are a good practice to build up rapport even if I get a rejection. From my perspective, is that extra effort to demonstrate interest and stand out.

When a recruiter outlines the interview at the beginning of the interview, it shapes the interview in the following way: 1- sets the tone 2- shows candidate the recruiter is organized 3- allows time for the candidate to ask questions.
