Why a poor candidate experience will damage your talent brand
If you are serious about hiring great talent, it is imperative that you provide candidates with a great experience whether you intend to hire them or not. This is something that we are particularly passionate about at Edbury Daley, and in this video we are going to explain to you why a poor candidate experience will damage your talent brand.
People talk, and in the niche industry that is procurement and supply chain, everyone knows everyone. Tools like LinkedIn allow old colleagues to remain in contact and when they have a native experience, they tend to talk about it. There are a number of huge players in the market that are renowned for their negative talent branding and an awful reputation for the way they treat candidates during the hiring process.
Examples of a poor candidate experience:
-No feedback
-Long wait times
-Poor communication
Examples of what a positive candidate experience looks like:
-Post interview feedback
-Timescales
-How many steps in the process
-No responses/ acknowledgement to advertisements
-Communicate throughout so candidates know where they stand
