Introduction
Stefanie Campos, one of Brunel’s top performing recruiters in BioTech and Life Sciences, joined us to discuss the importance of the candidate experience during the recruitment process. Check out Stefanie’s 3 tips for how companies and hiring managers can be proactive about turning their candidate experience into a competitive advantage.
Tip 1: Build Candidate Experience to Reflect Company Culture
It is crucial that external recruiters, internal hiring managers, and anyone else involved in the recruitment process be fully aligned with the company culture in order to better focus search efforts.
According to the 2022 Hiring Insight Reports from Goodtime, 90% of companies say they design their process to reflect their company culture but only 53% successfully communicate that culture to candidates through the recruitment process. Creating an interview process that reflects your mission, vision and values - including your commitment to DEI - at all touchpoints is a powerful way to build a genuine connection with candidates and signal to them whether they'll be a good fit for your role.
Here are a few areas your company can emphasize about your culture to stand out and attract top talent:
1. Work-Life Balance
2. Career Advancement Opportunities
3. Strong Leadership
4. Sense of Purpose
5. Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
The more information I have about a client's culture and what they're looking for the better. Knowing about the culture and the team dynamics and what personalities are in the group is extremely beneficial for finding the best fit.
