Recruiter Mindset
Speaking of recruiters, it is vital that we understand their current struggles and how we can comprehend their approach in this changing market too. Employers and recruiters posting jobs want to make sure that they are going to get their advert in front of the right jobseekers and get a good response from those that are quali ed and interested in their role. Finally, they are interested in using cost-e ective solutions. This translates into concerns about quality, quantity and price…
Let’s look at their rst concern: Quality.
As we mentioned before, the number of applications per vacancy is on the rise by 43%. This can be o putting for recruiters and employers as they are worried they are going to have to sort through a lot of unwanted applications. You can help alleviate this by educating your recruiters on how to post a job that will weed out any surplus applications. Our new application options can also help with this including screener questions and tick boxes on requirements for the role. Additionally, companies with great employer brands receive 50% more quali ed applicants – so make sure that employer branding is taken seriously for recruiters and employers. Encourage them to ll these areas out and let them know it will increase quality candidate application rates.
