Putting people first: candidate experience at NoA Ignite

We believe that the candidate's experience of the entire recruitment process should be among the top priorities for any employer. Candidate experience starts very early, exactly when a given person learns about the existence of a given company that they perceive as a potential employer. Then it continues until the end of the onboarding process. It is obvious that these early stages can have a huge impact on the way a given person sees your company.

Why is candidate experience in recruitment so important?

Regardless of whether the candidate becomes an employee of your company or not, he or she will form an opinion about the company based on their experiences, which they will next surely share with those around them – friends and family. That’s a big part of the importance of a positive candidate experience.

Positive feelings that your candidates have, not only help build the relationship between the candidate and the employer, but also have a significant impact on the employer's brand and the company's reputation. Also, you cannot forget that good candidate experience is an introduction to employee experience, so it’s definitely a long-term thing.

Candidate experience: Best practices

In order to take care of your candidates, you need to understand their needs. That is why it is so important to listen carefully to their candidates throughout the entire recruitment process, as well as to benefit from available market research in this area.

Take a look at the chart below, and see what are candidates’ experiences versus what they actually experience during the recruitment process:
