Impress your Candidates (Easy Peasy)
Recruiting: It's Not Rocket Science, But It's Not That Easy Either
Ever felt like you're waiting forever for a candidate to respond for a company they applied to? You're not alone. In the world of recruiting, setting clear expectations and sticking to them is a game-changer.
What if? You're applying for three jobs. One company says they'll get back to you in 7 days, while the other says 14 days. The third one says “Soon”. Guess which one made a better impression?
Yep, the one with a shorter turnaround time. Quick turnaround time means a quicker interview process.
Also, what’s with “soon”? Being ambiguous will never help impress anyone let alone your ideal candidate.
It's a simple trick, but it works wonders. So, next time you're recruiting, remember: Clear communication is key to a happy candidate.
That’s not all. There is more to making your candidate feel wanted and appreciated. Want to learn more about creating a stellar candidate experience? Click here to find out.

Is this a perk or a potential pitfall?
While some see it as a cushy arrangement, others see it as a sign of the times. Could this be a glimpse into the future of work, where location independence becomes the norm for CEOs?
