It is often said that people may not remember what you did but they will always remember how you made them feel.
This is so true when recruiting top talent for your company. Many companies offer the same benefits, the same vacation, the same salary range, the same the same the same. What makes you different?
If you don’t have a big edge over your competition to recruit and retain the best employees, take a look at the interview process for candidates. Candidates go through several stages when they are deciding where they want to work and which job offer they will accept. This journey is greatly impacting by the way you make them feel while interviewing with you.
Candidate Journey is the expression used to describe 6 stages through which job seekers go through: Awareness, Consideration, Interest, Application, Selection and Hire.
Similarly to when buyers look for services and products to purchase, candidates go through different stages when looking for new job opportunities. This is the reason why today’s candidates need to be treated as customers.
There are 6 stages through which all job seekers go through:
Throughout their candidate journey, candidates will have multiple interactions with your Employer Brand.
Your brand is reflected in every aspect of the job consideration process.
It is important to note that while the first three stages of candidate journey focus on active job seekers, the last three stages focus on the passive candidates.
LinkedIn research has shown that only 12% of people actively look for jobs, and this is the reason why recruiters have started paying more attention to passive job seekers and the awareness, consideration and interest stages of their journey.
Can you sell the opportunity with your company? Are you able to get a candidate excited about the thought of working for you? Are you able to make them feel that your job is better than others? If not, you may want to consider using a recruitment agency because that is exactly their expertise. They can you through the job process, sell your opportunity to the candidate and find you the top talent you are seeking.

I would like to formally thank Francisco Chevez for helping me get this great District Manager position. Francisco was very professional from the beginning. He was persistent in his search for the perfect opportunity. He presented me with multiple job opportunities, all great. He made me feel as if I was his only client and his top priority. Even after starting the new job, he called back to check on me. Francisco is great at what he does and I’m glad I was paired with him.
Francisco Chevez is one in a million!

I am thankful for the service that Matt Lopez provided on behalf of Patrice and Associates in finding me and matching me to an excellent job with an energy company in northern Virginia. Matt Lopez discussed the position and the company and advised me on the hiring process. Matt has the intuition to assess me the job candidate, and the employer regarding my personality and the corporate culture to make the match. Matt found a Company that has all the attributes that I have struggled over the past few years to find. I intend to do an excellent job for the Company that I am joining in October 2022. I plan to achieve my immediate objectives, the company’s goals and show that Patrice and Associated backed the right person for the job.
Matt Lopez nailed it!
Sincerely,

I recently relocated to South Carolina from New York. At first I tried the usual big company name job search engines, I even reached out to a couple of recruiters but, Karl Busch at Patrice and Associates was the guy who got it done! His guidance and advice along the way was invaluable. I was able to secure an Executive Chef position at a high profile restaurant thanks to him.
I can't thank Karl Busch enough!
Thank you!
