Is Talent Recruitment Being Sabotaged By Your Interview Process?

To make great hires these days, it is important for an organization to have a talent management strategy in place. In today’s time it is the job seekers who are in the driver’s seat. If you are seeking candidates from the most talented cohort, then you must understand that these candidates are being approached right from top to bottom. So, a bad interview process can even end up making your organization in the black list of the talented candidates. This is the reason the recruitment agencies in Israel do the best job when it comes to talent recruitment.

Thus, it is the high time to review the entire interview process and identify the weak spots which may end up scaring the candidates. Here are some of the loopholes in the interview process which can totally ruin talent recruitment in an organization:

 

·         Improper Address/Location Details

Just providing address is not enough. Candidates are often dissuaded with the omitted commute details, floor or suite numbers, parking details as all this leads to unnecessary and unwanted last minute stress for the candidate. The candidates want to show up in neat and tidy manner instead of the sprinting clothes in an interview. Thus a proper detailed location for the interview is the first thing the organization must do.

 

·         Unnecessary Wait

Candidates have mentioned in feedback form post interview that they make to the location well in time, however, they are still made to wait for long hours before the interview is actually started. Thus, such things indeed do not put a good impression of the organization on the candidate who has altered his/her entire schedule of the day just to appear for the interview considering a new job opportunity in hand. This makes the candidate think that the company considers their time to be of more value than that of the candidate. This even makes the candidate form an impression of the potential employer behavior if they land up the job.

·         Unprepared Interviewer

Candidates have often mentioned in the various feedback forms that the questions asked from them were something even a child could read in the resume itself. Thus, clearly showing that the interviewers have not reviewed the resume ahead of time. This gives a bad impression because the candidate takes all pain to read more and more about the company, its brand, its role, its market standing and prepares how best he/she can add value to the brand. The candidates hold similar expectations from the company that they will strategically ask them the things in order to assess whether they are fit for the job role or not. So, asking childish questions can totally put down the candidate.

Having read so much on candidate experience, our best advise here would be to hire the services of PEO in Israel who can handle the talent management part and you can remain focused on operational and marketing aspects of the organization.
