The importance of maintaining candidate relationships...
Candidates are the most valuable asset to recruitment agencies. Without a varied talent pool of skilled and positive candidates, recruitment agencies will not be able to run efficiently and professionally. Candidates are the main source of revenue and this is why maintaining relationships is key to good recruitment. Good relationships will help you to maintain good and trusting relationships with your candidates and can help you find the right jobs for your candidates which leads the way for long-term success.
Understand:
To maintain candidate relationships it is important to listen to what your candidates want and understand their journey and what they want to get out of their job search. You should take into account what type of company they want to work for and if they are the right personality fit for your clients. The aim is to outline the process and understand how your candidates feel, what they are missing and what they want. This will enable you to nurture your candidates through each stage and build and maintain positive relationships.
Communicate:
Communication is key in recruitment, especially when it comes to keeping in touch with your candidates. Candidates love quick responses and it quickly makes their mind up to whether you are the right recruitment agency for them. The key to good communication is making sure that you keep your candidates up to date, give them honest advice and feedback and guide them on their job search. If you struggle with communication try and keep a diary and write yourself daily reminders on what candidates you need to get back to or reach out to. If you have a good recruitment software system then you can automate your candidate messages and you will never miss an opportunity again.
