A Reflection for 2025 ?? One of my main focuses this year as a recruiter is to improve candidate feedback, especially for those who don't get the job they applied for. Lately, I've seen many posts highlighting the discouraging experiences candidates face after interviews. I completely understand how difficult it can be to put so much effort into the process, only to be left without closure. While we recruiters often get busy juggling multiple tasks, providing feedback is a crucial part of our responsibilities. It's a small gesture that can make a big difference in a candidate's journey, helping them grow and stay motivated for future opportunities. Let's all make an effort this year to provide more constructive feedback and ensure candidates feel heard, valued, and supported — whether they land the job or not. ?? #Recruitment #CandidateExperience #FeedbackMatters #Growth #Hiring #2025Goals

Once you're in an assessment, you just need 1 click.. . . To tell you which candidates are the right fit for the role ?? This is one of the Features we get good feedback on from customers - the fact that it's so easy to get an overview of which candidates are the best fit once you've put a criteria to match the candidates against ?? This allows for fairer processes, when you have a criteria BEFORE inviting candidates. Even better is to analyze your Top Performers and see which scales they have in common as a foundation for the next hire. Do you use the sorting/Qualifying feature? What is your experience? #qualifying #candidates #fair #criteria #recruitment

Every stage of life carries a lesson, a thought beautifully expressed by the new Gen Z. Take a moment to reflect: During an interview, Interviewer asked a candidate, "What motivates you to apply for this role?" He responded confidently, "I want to be part of a company where I can grow and make a real impact." Then I asked, "What if you're not selected?" He smiled and said, "Then I’ll keep applying until I find the right fit. Rejection is just redirection!" In recruitment, it's often the candidates who end up teaching us more than we expect. #employeeimpact #HR #RecruitmentStories

Designing an inclusive interview process for disabled people and people with different learning styles both widens the talent pool and creates a more equitable workplace.

Improving the Interview Process: Focus on Skills and Fair Opportunities The interview process is key to finding the right talent, and in today’s world, it’s important to approach it with a fresh perspective. From my experience and viewpoint, here are some ideas: 1. Give New Talent a Chance: Don’t reject candidates just because they lack experience. Instead, look at their skills and potential to fit the company’s needs. 2. Focus on Growth Potential: Look beyond just qualifications. Assess how a candidate’s skills, passion, and willingness to learn can add value to your team. 3. Consider All Applicants: While referrals can be helpful, it’s important to give equal consideration to those who apply directly. They might be a perfect fit. 4. Provide Feedback: Always let candidates know why they weren’t selected. This helps them improve and leaves a positive impression of your company. By focusing on skills and offering fair chances, we can create a more open and effective hiring process. #Hiring #InterviewProcess #SkillsMatter #TalentDevelopment #FairOpportunities

Imagine a candidate going through your application, interview, selection or offer process. What impression are you leaving them with? Their experience at each stage shapes their view of your entire company – your culture, leadership, and how you value people. A positive experience can turn candidates into brand advocates, even future employees! But a bad one? Let's just say word travels fast, and not in a good way. #hiring #candidateexperience

I'm not just filling roles—we’re building bridges between talent and opportunity. Sometimes we have to do hard things, like pull a candidate from the running. Maybe they looked great on paper, but some red flags appeared during the interview process. Whatever the case, pushing a bad fit through is a short-term move that can lead to long-term problems. My reputation—and yours as a hiring manager—depends on candidates who meet the mark of both skills and character. The result? Stronger placements, better relationships, and a professional reputation that speaks for itself. #Americanrecruiters #bebetter
