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)
