Pay Attention to….

…Who influences your top candidates,

….Quality of content and the means with which it is communicated.

…Privacy. It leads to trust…or doubt.

You may measure the impact directly:

- Your sales.- Your access to quality candidates.- Your compensation strategy.- Your hire conversion rate.- Your new hire time to perform.- Your retention.- Your company’s performance.

The Candidate Experience WILL affect them all indirectly.

The attitudes and behaviors of individuals who seek to work for a firm…

…about the recruiting process, the stakeholders in the process, the work and the company itself as a place to work.
