Closing the candidate after interview
The provided content outlines advanced recruiting strategies focusing on pivotal moments during the recruitment process, particularly post-interview and pre-offer stages. The high-impact tactic discussed involves engaging the candidate to articulate why a job opportunity is perfectly tailored for them. Instead of suggesting reasons to candidates, recruiters should ask them to explain why the role suits their career and personal goals, reinforcing their own reasoning and commitment to the position. Also crucial is addressing and mitigating candidates' fear of change. Often, external influences like family opinions can drastically affect decision-making. The strategy suggests the use of a preemptive 'permission to accept' question, which assesses the candidate's readiness and potential hesitations regarding the offer. This can reveal undisclosed concerns and thus provide a chance to address them proactively. By executing these techniques, recruiters can significantly influence the candidate's perspective and facilitate smoother transitions in job changes.
