Recruitment Process Tests

Your reputation is everything.  Your values and ethics are published on the website and via your social media.  But how is the reality of your recruitment process?

​

• Do you know the quality of Job Adverts your teams are sending out?

• Do you know what your recruitment process experience is like for your candidates?

• Does the treatment of your candidates match your values and ethics?

​

If you do not know the answer to these questions, then how do you know whether damage is being done to your organisation's reputation?

​

An online article in The HR Digest said

"According to a 2023 survey by Talent Board, 58% of candidates who had a negative experience during recruitment would decline a job offer, even if it was their dream role. Conversely, 77% of candidates who had a positive experience would not only accept the offer but also recommend the company to others. In a world where word-of-mouth and online reviews carry immense weight, the candidate experience has become a strategic differentiator."

​

And where word-of-mouth is backed up by reviews on Glassdoor, the damage can be significant.

​

It is easy just to say, it is not us, this is a problem other people have.  But our research shows the majority of Job Adverts we have looked at score badly in their information and structure.  Thats without the automated processes and ghosting that tends to follow.  How sure are you that this is not how your business operates?

​

The media is clear, the experiences of candidates is poor in so many cases.  Does your internal reporting from your HR team (people and talent) represent the reality of the process or just the outcomes and the cost?

​

If your company is not walking the walk of your declared values during the recruitment process, what does your potential employees think?  It can lead to reputational damage, drop out of candidates from the process (often late on) and can cause reruns of the process.
