First Steps
(September 17, 2003) - Candidates should be
treated like people. Seems simple enough. Surprisingly, the question we
get most often is, "How can we do that?"
The first steps are pretty obvious:
- acknowledging receipt of an application,
- avoiding postings that say little or insult the intelligence,
- eliminating out of date postings,
- monitoring an application against open opportunities,
- staying in touch with relevant information,
- letting the candidate know when their application is going to be flushed
from the system,
- having a privacy policy,
- providing material that is interesting to candidates,
- eliminating unnecessary 'clicks',
- making sure the website runs quickly,
- offering suggestions to those who most likely are never going to be working for
you,
- describing the hiring process (how long, what's involved),
- illuminating the culture with profiles of successful members of the
workforce,
- addressing known PR problems (Here at Enron, we have a renewed emphasis on
ethics),
- having a clear and compelling message,
- eliminating things that waste a candidate's time,
- providing ways for candidates to build their networks,
- and so on.
Getting today's website right can be the beginning of a new era for the
recruiting function in your company.
