In talent acquisition, the ghosting of potential hires mid-recruitment signals a crisis in conversion rather than attraction. The myth of a talent shortage is dispelled as companies recognize that ineffective hiring practices push top talent away, resulting in a misaligned talent pool and consistent mis-hires.
"Commit to a seamless journey for candidates where communication and pro-active engagement are keys, effectively eliminating ghosting and reducing candidate dropoffs." - John Marshall, Founder of Self Management Group
The Cycle of Candidate Attraction and Dropoff
The relentless focus on attracting candidates overshadows the need for efficient and effective conversion strategies. This misdirection leads to a vicious cycle where the real issue goes unaddressed, leaving roles unfilled and potential untapped.
Top 3 Reasons Contributing to Candidate Dropoff
Three significant hurdles stand out in talent acquisition: complicated application processes, slow hiring practices, and poor communication that test candidates' patience and resolve. Each factor increases the likelihood of candidate dropoff, derailing the recruitment process.
Navigating Complicated Applications
Candidates need relief from lengthy application processes that demand unnecessary repetition of information collection including complicated online forms. These lengthy processes create obstacles that are particularly dreadful, especially considering that any given candidate's availability is fleeting-- there is typically a 14 to 21-day window before they're off the market. The window to hire Top Talent is even smaller, they don't wait and companies cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity to convert.
Simplifying Slow-paced Applications
The second hurdle is the slow pace of decision-making. When days matter, a slow hiring process can signal disorganization or lack of interest in the candidate, making offers from competitors more appealing. A balanced, data-informed approach--a scientific gut check--is needed to validate and streamline the hiring process and make it more efficient.
Bridging the Communication Gap
The final hurdle is the disheartening silence or vague feedback that candidates often face from recruiters. Clear, timely, relevant, and respectful communication fosters a positive candidate experience and cements the applicant's commitment. Without it, candidates may feel undervalued and unseen, pushing them to explore more welcoming opportunities.
