This information is sent out at the start of the recruitment process. Ideally, when you are confirming the first stage interviews. This is an often-missed opportunity to start to sell your company to your candidates and will also reduce the length of time spent at interview telling them about the organisation. It means that you get more time to spend; asking the candidates about themselves and their suitability for the role. 

 

 

The culture of any organisation has a direct impact on commercial performance. Big statement…but there is a wealth of data to show that great employee engagement, creating a cohesive, positive and empowered team is the key driver to improving that performance and helps to reduce absenteeism, attrition, improve presenteeism, productivity and customer satisfaction. 

 

 

In reality, nothing…it’s the collective team including senior and other managers throughout the business that create the culture – so gauging what they think and how they feel is the first step to understanding your business culture 

 

 

Candidates are still in the driving seat as we enter 2022; this means that they are in control. Candidates are likely to be considering several job offers and will have the pick of the roles. As an employer, this can be frustrating as candidates may accept your offer, only to turn it down later, or take a while to decide – again, as they are waiting to consider all their options. Make sure you offer quickly and spend time talking through the whole package with them. What can you do to make sure that they accept your offer over others they may have?
