Why transparency and adaptability are so important when interviewing candidates for a specific role? Check out this report from GoodTime to find out!
This pandemic has taught us the value of adaptability – not only in how we live but how we conduct our businesses as well. In our latest report, we discuss how the talent acquisition process has changed due to the new hybrid to remote work setup.
An unintended effect of the consecutive lockdowns has been the rise in remote or hybrid work models. As companies adapted to meet this need, their HR departments struggled to find, interview, and keep professional talents for their specific roles. In our new report titled, “Why TA Leaders are Now Focusing on the Candidate Relationship,” we explain the four key things that you need to have in order to build candidate relationships.

We first clarify what the candidate relationship is. As its name suggests, it is the connection between you and the potential employee. However, unlike traditional models where you had the upper hand, in today’s society, candidates share an equal role in whether or not they join your company.
Remember: you are being interviewed inasmuch as you are interviewing. Today, candidates are less willing to enter a company that does not share four unique values: genuine connection, transparency, adaptability, and candidate well-being.
Emerging data suggests that more than half of candidates look for these values before entering a company. In fact analysts have seen that despite the fluctuating economy, candidates are willing to hold off on a job – even a high-paying one – if they feel that they will not be valued. Work culture has become one of the prime determinants on whether an employee stays, or even applies, to a company.
This can be connected with the hybrid to remote work-set up. Experts have noted that the further away people are from their companies physically, the more they want to feel connected to them. It is important, they say, that your hiring department communicates your culture from the get-go.
Employees today do not want to waste their time in a company they will end up leaving in the future due to toxic work culture. Today’s employees are more discerning of what they want and seek to find a company that makes them feel less alone in an interconnected world.
At the end of the day, you need to let potential candidates know who you are. Be assertive, confident, and transparent without overindulging too much information.
