Building candidate rapport
The main topic discussed is the importance of building strong relationships with candidates to prevent issues like ghosting and acceptance of counter offers in recruitment. The key takeaways include understanding that current recruitment methods lack personal connection, often due to remote recruitment environments. Recruiters are encouraged to enhance communication by getting closer to candidates through frequent and personalized interactions, like daily calls or meetings. A specific strategy highlighted is the approach of providing constant, continuous, courteous feedback to candidates, succinctly represented by the acronym CCCCF. This approach ensures candidates are regularly updated about their status, making them feel respected and engaged. By maintaining such consistent communication, recruiters can foster stronger relationships, thereby reducing candidate drop-offs and increasing overall recruitment efficacy. This Module outlines that adopting these strategies and maintaining a philosophy of proactive communication can significantly improve recruiters' interaction with candidates and minimize common recruitment challenges.
