Clarity Is Key
There is complete clarity around who is responsible
for each piece of the recruiting process
Recruiting owns the candidate
until the Letter of Offer is signed.
On-Boarding
It’s important
Hiring Managers – educate them!
• Walk them through the recruiting process - show them
how to leverage Recruiting.
What Have We Learned
Understanding is not built on one
conversation.
Message must be consistent.
