By Lauren Winklepleck
In today’s candidate-driven job market, more and more employers are recognizing the importance of creating a candidate experience that mirrors their company’s values. According to LinkedIn’s 2018 Workplace Culture Trends study, communicating mission and brand during the recruitment process can give employers a significant competitive advantage: 71 percent of job seekers would be willing to take a pay cut to work for a company that shares their values.

With Tina Tromiczak, Senior Vice President, National Account Services, RPO at ADP
It’s no secret that today’s top candidates have the power of choice—the choice to seek out new roles, to learn about different companies, or to stay put.

Here, Tina Tromiczak, senior vice president, national account services for RPO at ADP, offers several strategies that organizations can leverage to improve their candidate experience and ensure they are an employer of choice in today’s competitive marketplace.
Ghost Busting
Keeping candidates engaged throughout the recruitment process is more important now than ever.
By Marta Chmielowicz
It’s called “ghosting”—suddenly ending all communication with no warning. While the practice is a common event in today’s dating scene, it is making its way into the business world. And it is something that both recruiters and job candidates are guilty of: Hiring managers have long allowed applicants to fall into the recruitment “black hole” and candidates are now starting to return the favor by skipping interviews, ignoring job offers, not showing up for start dates, and even quitting without a word. In fact, research from Randstad US finds that 66 percent of U.S. managers report being ghosted by candidates who initially accepted a job offer, but disappeared before the start date.
Hand-in-Hand
Aligning employer branding and a positive candidate experience is critical to attracting the best talent.
By The Editors
“You only get one chance to make a first impression.” That advice is often given to candidates who are looking for new jobs and engulfed in the interview process.

First impressions are often driven by both a positive candidate experience and employer brand communication strategies. And when done right, these approaches create interest and excitement for candidates while employers reap the rewards of a broad, engaged talent pool.

Demands on employees have increased—and HR must keep pace or risk falling behind.

They can’t wait for their HR department to catch up with them via phone calls or letters. Modern workers want the same prompt customer service experience that they receive from online marketers. They also expect to feel empowered by their HR departments, not disenfranchised by them.
