Candidate-Focused Hiring Process

What is a Candidate-Focused Hiring Process?

The Candidate-Focused Hiring Process is a hiring method that puts the candidates as the top priority. Ensuring your candidates have the best possible experience during the hiring process could include things such as:

Having a short application or 2 Step Application
Asking for personal information only after the candidate is hired
Following up with everyone who applies - regardless of if they were hired or not
Overall, making it easy to apply
Having a compelling Job Ad that helps the candidate get a good feel of what it would be like to work for you

What are the benefits of a Candidate-Focused Hiring Process?

A higher applicant flow (more applicants due to the ease of applying)
An increase in application completion rate due to the shorter/simplified application (which means more choices for the employer)
An increase in the chances that top talent will choose your company because you treated them better during the process (better talent applying leading to better hires)
