Now is the time of social media and every organization is concerned about the company brand. In recruitment process HR not only takes care of interview process but also about the good candidate experience harvesting brand development exercise. Let me explain some strategies that can be helpful in building positive impression among the freshers and also in attracting talents for the recruitment process.
- HR Recruitment Consultant or the HR manager should inform the candidate about the tentative time for hiring activity and implement the same to value the time of the job seeker. Candidates can be scheduled in two ways: pre-lunch and post-lunch hence saving valuable time on either side.
- In order to understand the interest of the candidate for a particular job profile an initial step of telephonic conversation can be helpful. Furthermore, make candidates understand the whole interview process over phone along with date and time to seek confirmation mail from the candidate.
- Selected Candidates from mail confirmation should be treated well by the attendants and front office should also have the information with the list of candidates appearing for the interview. In case of any delay in the recruitment activity due to unavoidable reasons HR should express apologies for the same.
- If there is any written test before the personal interview make sure you inform candidates the stipulated time taken to declare results so that it helps candidates to avoid stress for the time being after the rigorous selection rounds.
- Congratulation mail should be send to the selected candidates and regret mail to the rejected candidates to encourage them for future openings. Also register the email-ids of all the candidates that have come for the entire recruitment process so as to send them job openings available in the future along with the company update.
