Reinvent
How You
Close
Candidates.
Where do you think your
CX falls down the most?
• Pre-apply (website, branding, etc.)
•The apply process (time, cumbersome, etc.)
•The interview process (time, hiring managers, etc.)
•Post Interview (feedback loop, etc.)
•Offer stage (counters, competition, etc.)
What’s actually happening?
• Only 7.1% of organizations even
survey candidates to understand
their experience.
• 61.1% of organizations don’t even
measure CX.
• 46% of candidates have a negative
overall candidate experience.
Thetalentboard.org
What’s actually happening?
• 47% of candidates are not
hearing back 2-3 months after
they applied (The Black Hole!)
• Only 39% of candidates receive
a call from their manager prior to
starting their job.
Thetalentboard.org
What do candidates want?
• They want to know who you
truly are as an org.
•They want to know the path
they’ll be on.
• They want to know where they
stand.
• Just tell us something!
Thetalentboard.org
The focus of the Candidate Journey:
• Pre-apply
•Career site, job postings, social,
content, etc.
• Apply
•Conversion, process, assessments,
etc.
• Interview
•Wow experience, culture, etc.
The miss of the Candidate Journey:
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (revised 2018)
Strategies for World-Class CX!
#1 – Never forget your buyer!
• When was the last time you
applied for your own jobs? On
mobile?
• Lose the power trip.
• Do you have a candidate
contract? We all have SLAs with
our HM’s, what about
Candidates?
The Non-Negotiables to Great CX:
1. We got your stuff.
2. Here are the next steps.
3. 24 hour interview feedback.
4. 100% Disposition. 100% personalized
for those who interviewed.
#2 – Remove Friction!
• What hoops and roadblocks are
you putting in the way of
candidates to make your life
easier? Or just to be a D*ck?
• BTW – Google hates you for
doing this!
• Do you know as what exact point
your candidates are falling off?
#3 – Hyper-Personalization!
Hyper-Personalization Maximizes CX!
• I don’t want the same Nikes
everyone has, I want the Nikes I
designed online myself!
• Candidates don’t want to apply to
your jobs, they want to apply to
‘their’ job.
• How can you use personalization to
get ‘a’ candidate interested, and
everyone talking?
#4 – Don’t allow HM’s to Screw it Up!
• HM’s can’t be your barrier to
great CX, if they are, fix it.
• Measure and scoreboard those
things that are holding you back.
• It really helps to get executive
buy-in on the front side! Good
News – They’re ready!
#5 – Get real data around your CX!
• Some ATSs will have this
built in, but you can do this
manually as well. Just start!
• Focus on data that
candidates find important –
read the Talent Board report!
• Don’t give out free nachos
or friends a family discounts!
What
Tech can
Help
You?
The Journey Ends at some Point!
• When are candidates Expectations of
you as a potential employer the
highest?
• Are you using the same offer letter
you’ve used for 2 decades?
• Do you have candidates deciding on
multiple offers, not just yours?
You have to get survey data!
• Manual through email.
•Cheap alternatives like –
SurveyMonkey
•Yell at your ATS provider – unless
you have Greenhouse.
•CX Survey companies like Survale.
We just don’t have time for this…
• Don’t rely on just your ATS to deliver
automated, out of the box
messaging. Candidates hate that!
• Go long on SMS. If you breakup with
someone on Text, you can disposition
them!
• Look into AI enabled tech to screen
more candidates. And give each
candidate a voice!

Editor's Notes

  1. I’ve always believed in the simplicity of the golden rule. I thought that was enough! Then, my Gen Z kids starting interviewing and I realized how awful we are at this stuff!
  2. The reality is candidates have super low expectations from us as employers. SUPER LOW!
  3. I mean all they want is for us to tell them like three things! Did you get my application? Do you like me? Yes or No
  4. Based on over 100K responses from candidates. This statistically matters! What stands out to you the most?
  5. Based on over 100K responses from candidates. This statistically matters!
  6. The Candidate Journey
  7. From offer to start date – Ironically this is when…
  8. Here’s what we know about generations when we are young – You give us all this attention and then we hear nothing – then we are shocked when no one shows up! Great CX is giving attention from beginning to end – but not all the same. You build it up over, otherwise the process becomes disappointing. Ask yourself how many people are rejecting your offers? If this is a problem for you – you know the closing isn’t working.
  9. 15-20 minutes is a joke! We have this teacher lounge mentality in TA and HR.
  10. What do you really need to find out if someone is interested in your job? Once you get them to fall in love with you, then make their life miserable!
  11. My friends at Recruiting Social put this one together!
  12. AllyO is delivering 100% of candidates to your pipeline.
  13. The eBook lists over 100 TA technologies that I’ve personally demo’d plus gives you great tips on using and buying TA Tech! You will be asked 1 question and given a chance to leave a comment – basically it’s 2 clicks to get the eBook! Super simple and it actually gives me great feedback on how I’m doing!
