How To Deliver A Standout Candidate Experience - with Adrian McDonagh of Hireful

Lucinda is joined by Adrian McDonagh of Hireful - an expert in onboarding and recruitment - to discuss the ways in which we can ensure an inspiring, impactful candidate experience, and therefore guarantee that the best people are drawn to our organisations. KEY TAKEAWAYS With the rise of hybrid working, and with the power being returned to the hands of candidates rather than recruiters, it's never been more important to make sure that candidate experiences are outstanding. Recruiters are moving much faster with CVs, and are arranging interviews in no time at all. But the rate at which the candidate experience has evolved for the better is sadly not as nimble as this. The experience of candidates within the first two to six weeks of their arrival, has a direct correlation upon the length of time they'll stay within the organisation. Pre-boarding is crucial. Look for gaps in the communication process and make sure they're amended. If lines of communication are not kept up after the job offer is given, it can lead to a sense of disorientation for the candidate. BEST MOMENTS 'Interviews are being booked twice as fast!' 'You have a real advantage. Many of your competitors are working too fast' 'It's all about building in a system. It'll save you so much time' 'We want to make sure the person has a continuous feeling that they're part of your organisation' VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising) How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney HR Uprising Mastermind - https://hruprising.com/mastermind/   www.changesuperhero.com www.hruprising.com           Adrian McDonagh LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianmcdonagh/?originalSubdomain=uk Hireful - https://www.hireful.co.uk/webinars/building-a-linkedin-strategy-for-your-organisation ABOUT THE HOST Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.
