A candidate's experience is one of the most critical and overlooked areas of the recruiting and the hiring process. A positive experience translates into quality hires, strengthens a company's employment brand, and reduces its cost per hire. A negative experience can result in a decline in the acceptance of employment offers, a decrease in the quantity and quality of applicants applying, and a negative image of the company throughout the labor market. A qualified candidate may even self select out of the hiring process during the interview stage, or before a company can make an offer. Hewitt Associates recently reviewed how they could optimize their candidate experience by enhancing their recruiting programs.
In this webinar Erin M. Peterson, Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition, will discuss how Hewitt built a world class candidate experience by:
- Listening to the feedback of all candidates even the candidates that rejected offers.
- Communicating to candidates on each stage of the recruiting process.
- Wowing candidates by immediately reimbursing their expenses.
- Aiding eliminated candidates on their continued job search with other top 500 companies.
- Reducing the candidate on-boarding time by doing away with paper packets.
- Reaching candidates even faster by adding mobile texting to their recruitment activities.
