πŸ” Is your hiring process attracting or repelling top talent? πŸ”

We often talk about how a slow hiring process leads to top candidates dropping out. But what about the candidates who don’t even apply?

A reputation for inefficiency spreads fast. If professionals hear that your hiring process is unclear, slow, or unresponsive, they’ll think twice about investing their timeβ€”no matter how well-matched they are for the role.

At Next Phase Recruitment, we can help you streamline your recruitment process to ensure you attract the best talent by reviewing the following areas:

βœ… Develop a set of standardised interview questions that assess the candidate's skills, experience, and cultural fit.
βœ… Incorporate multiple stakeholders in the selection process, such as department heads, team members, and HR representatives, to offer different perspectives on candidates.
βœ… Beyond skills and qualifications, evaluating the cultural fit of candidates is crucial. Engage candidates in discussions about the company's culture and core values to gauge their compatibility
βœ… Setting internal timeframes and deadlines for each interview, feedback and offers is vital to ensure candidates remain engaged and recognise they are important to you
βœ… Qualifying candidates from the outset on their availability to interview, any times they are not free and setting clear expectations.
