Intermountain Healthcare improved their candidate experience by implementing real-time communications strategies. They formed a Candidate Experience Committee that analyzed feedback showing candidates wanted more frequent communication. Intermountain then automated keeping in touch emails while handling offers and interviews live. They also used text recruiting, which allowed one recruiter to extend 17 offers in one day. These efforts led to Intermountain winning a 2018 Candidate Experience Award. They continue optimizing with career pages, social media responses, and chatbots.
