Improve The Candidate Experience
When a candidate applies for a position in a business, they want to be kept updated about the current status of their application. Simply applying for a role and not hearing anything back from the employer or a recruiter for months can be very off-putting, and it often means that a candidate will apply elsewhere.
For this reason, we suggest that you try to improve your candidate experiencein 2019. Send an email letting them know that you have their application and explain who will be handling it. You can also let them know when they should assume that they haven’t been successful if you aren’t going to get back to everyone individually. These simple steps will improve the candidate experience and keep people interested in the role.
Use An Executive Staffing Agency
In 2019, many top firms are using an executive search firm to find the right candidates. There is no need to be wasting resources on the recruitment part of your business when you could have an executive staffing agency do all of the work for you. All you’ll need to do is provide a job description and pay them a fee. If you want to know how much the recruiting fees are, you can look to the agency TruPath for an example. They outline the fees on their website which will allow you to work out what it will cost your business.  The executive search firm will find top-quality candidates and you will find that recruiting is much easier than you thought.
