Hiring managers and staffing firms alike need to be more conscious of the type of candidate experience their recruitment processes is creating.
This is why you need processes that are snappy, streamlined and simple. Job automation makes this possible for staffing firms by giving them greater visibility into top needs and then speeding up the filling process, helping them beat out the competition and dramatically cut down on wait times for candidates.
Reduce Run-Around
If a candidate works with a recruiter but then feels that their salary or benefits needs aren’t being respected or that the offered role does not fully mesh with their desires, they could have a negative experience. At the same time, staffing firms have to be able to balance the needs of their candidates with the needs of their client companies, especially when it comes to compensation.
However, managing expectations effectively helps create more positive candidate and client experiences all around. The Undercover Recruiter recommends making sure you ask targeted questions to both the clients and the candidates that confirms the level of compensation that they are anticipating. Then, be sure to adjust expectations if necessary.
“Your client will be happy in the knowledge they are getting the guy they want, at a salary they can afford, thanks to you having already schooled [the candidate] about salaries and other opportunities in his new role,” the site noted.
As a result, new hires will want to stick around for longer and be happier with their placement experience, increasing ROI.
