The Power of Candidate Engagement: Creating Lasting Connections for Successful Hiring
Posted on 09/07 by Erin Helms
Candidate ghosting, the disappearance of a job candidate during the hiring process without explanation, concerns employers. It should. When 84% of job seekers admit they have ghosted an employer in the last 18 months, it’s a problem. It is a candidate’s job market, and many applicants simply tire of the recruitment process and vanish. What can you do to engage candidates, and how can you create lasting connections for successful hiring instead of being ghosted?

Congratulations, you’ve made the smart decision to take a temporary seasonal job! Your bank account will thank you for the extra deposits from now through the end of the year, or whenever the job ends.

Stand out as a desirable company to work for, and retain your best talent, by understanding what your employees really want. It’s a common refrain from managers and HR offices in the past few years -- “Nobody wants to work anymore!” For what it’s worth, that’s a complaint that has been voiced for more than 100 years; everything old is new again. The truth is that people don’t want to work for less than what they’re worth; they don’t want to be told to be grateful just for having a job that pays them and they don’t want to feel like they have to sacrifice their personal lives and time for a job that doesn’t appreciate them. As a manager, you might be on the defensive already and that’s understandable. But take a moment and consider what your employees actually want from your company before skipping on to your next piece of reading material. Here’s what employees want:
