Ms. Richman explains, ìIn this day of highly competitive candidate recruitment; attracting and maintaining a positive candidate/employer experience is key to ensuring sustainable, positive hiring and on-boarding experiences. There are many methods of communication with potential candidates. It's the delivery of the experience that dictates the candidate's perception from the initial moment of contact. The concept of treating the candidate as a guest is not a new one but in this day of heavily trafficked recruitment technology and sourcing tools, it's easy to overlook the fact that your candidates are more than a number.î For other session topics click here
