Are your candidates happy with your recruitment process?

Recruitment is the process of hiring employees for a company or agency. Recruitment is a long process which requires full efforts of a recruiter and all the people involved in hiring. Sometimes employee engagement is observed to be very less in the overall process of recruitment. If the candidates are not informed correctly about the overall procedure of hiring, they do not remain engaged with the whole process.

The candidates, therefore, should be well-informed about all the steps involved in recruitment, schedule of test and interview and time taken for the entire process to be carried out successfully. Applicant Tracking System has made the process of hiring much easier than before.

The Cloud-based recruitment software helps in organizing the process of hiring to attract the potential candidates for their firm. It further helps in saving resources as large amounts of work can be done in a very short period of time with the use of Applicant Tracking System. Otherwise going through all the resumes manually and then selecting the best-fit candidate out of all is a difficult task. ATS has substantially reduced the workload for the overall HR department.

How to keep the candidates happy with recruitment process?

• Engagement of Candidate

  A candidate should be informed at every stage of the progress of recruitment process. For instance, to conduct a technical interview, the candidate must be given a significant amount of time let’s say 15 days to prepare for it.

• Selection according to Merit

  A good recruitment process should also be unbiased and fair for all the candidates. Managers involved in hiring need to make sure that the candidate is hired on merit and the organization has to make sure that no recruiter uses any unprofessional mean to select his candidate if he is below the merit.
