9. How can your company win the
race?

10. There are 4 main tactics

11. 1) Don’t drag your feet

12. You’re a busy person.
Candidates and recruiters are pestering you.
If the candidate wants to the job they’ll wait,
right?

13. Wrong.

14. Your recruiter is bugging you for a reason.
They know you’ve got a desirable candidate
and don’t want you to miss out.
Let them help you win the race.

15. You need to make candidates feel
wanted and enthusiastic.
There are plenty of others who will.

16. • Make time sooner rather than later
• Be eager to hire
• Remember that interviewing is as much
them sizing you up
Tips:

17. 2) Don’t think the grass is greener

18. Sometimes, the first candidate you see is
the best.
It happens.
Don’t let that make you think they are
the first of a stream of better and better
candidates.

19. Benchmarking is important,
but don’t let it take the focus.

20. You won’t be the only one who
wants to hire that candidate,
so don’t miss out for process-
sake.

21. • Be decisive – know who you want quickly
• Don’t keep asking for more
• Keep benchmarking to a minimum
Tips:

22. 3) Don’t keep quiet

23. There are times when you will have
to move slowly,
getting through red tape.

24. But don’t stick your head in the
sand.
Candidates will either move on, or they’ll feel
deflated.
Communication is key.

25. • Give a timetable
• Keep the flow of information – any news
is good news
• Help candidates feel the love
Tips:

26. 4) Do be flexible

27. Even if you’ve run a speedy process, it
can all break down in negotiation.
If you won’t compete with the benefits
offered by competitors, then you’ll
fall behind in the race for talent.

28. Big corporations can afford a travel
allowance or a few extra days holiday.
Seriously.
Even if you’re small, you can make non-
financial offers – working from home or a
conditional bonus.

29. Tips:
• Compromise
• Think about the bigger race
• Convince the candidate you’re an
amazing place to work

30. Your customers want everything
yesterday,
and your candidates are no
different.

31. They want to work for ambitious,
fast-moving companies,
and will be put off by a dragging
recruitment process.

32. So stretch your legs and put
your trainers on…

33. …we’ll see you
track side.
