Automation in recruitment marketing can do more than save a talent team time —it also helps to keep candidates warm, while delivering a world-class recruitment experience. How can hiring teams use recruitment marketing automation to supercharge their recruitment and engage the best talent? Let’s find out.
It starts with understanding candidate experience
The candidate experience encompasses the jobseeker’s perspective of a company’s hiring process. This starts from the moment they first see your job ad, through onboarding and beyond. It’s a key part of the talent acquisition process and can be the deciding factor for top talent when accepting or rejecting an offer. A negative candidate experience, with lengthy wait times, poor interview processes, or complex applications, can tarnish a company’s reputation. But, providing a good candidate experience can positively impact offer acceptance rates —and do wonders for your employer brand.
What is recruitment automation?
Automated recruiting saves HR teams time and resources when guiding candidates through the hiring process. In a competitive talent market, top talent gets snapped up quickly. Automation allows companies to fast-track their hiring processes without compromising on candidate experience.
