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.

The thing that stands out to me the most is you can tell he truly cares. He helped me gain self confidence through phone calls and was constantly checking in on me during the interview process. Not only was I able to acquire a great job with the help of Jonathan, but I received incredible insight. He is a very smart guy and is able to effectively explain his thoughts in a simple manner.
Jonathan Litt was an amazing coach during my job search.
Thank you so much!

Jonathan Litt was an amazing coach during my job search.
Communication and correspondence with her was easy and fast and her feedback always proved very useful during the recruitment process. With other recruiters I have dealt with in the past, I've usually had the impression that I was merely part of a quota of applications. This was not so with Karen, I am convinced that she had my best interest in mind as well as those of the company she was "hunting" me for.
Karen Horton is personable, knowledgeable, and was instrumental to my Career Goals.
I cannot thank Karen enough for all her assistance in what I am sure will be a long lasting relationship with my new employer.
Regards,
Carlos
