7 key takeaways from the 2015 Candidate Experience Symposium
The 2015 Candidate Experience Symposium has come and gone too quickly. We round up a list of the key takeaways from this year's CandEs Symposium:
- Candidates are Consumers
- The power has shifted from the employer to the candidate
- Recruiting is sales AND marketing
- It's about the relationship and those benefits that come from the relationship and NOT the transaction
- The key to candidate experience - creating authentic relationships
- Have courage to ask candidates the tough questions in order to create the ultimate hiring experience
- How to reject a candidate and still keep them as a customer?
- Give a why
- Give a concession
- Give an alternative
Overall question of the conference:
What if we spent less time automating the process and more time customizing the experience?
