The pandemic has created huge changes across the globe, the biggest change we have noticed within the recruitment industry is the sheer quantity of candidates looking for work.

Candidates are now in the masses, whereas before, recruiters and businesses would have needed to search a lot harder to match the desired skillset to the candidate creating a perfect fit for the job. Now the pool of candidates has increased it has shown us just how the process of candidate attraction has changed.

Here are a few tips to help with your candidate search:

1. Prepare yourself: As mentioned, the pool of opportunity has become significantly larger post Covid-19, so make sure that you are prepared for this change. Get creative in finding the skills required to support the future growth of your business. Try looking via the “non-professional” social networks such as Facebook and Instagram to reach candidates where they spend a lot of their free time.
   
   
2. Define your process: Now more than ever, you will start to see a much higher number of applicants appear in your search for the perfect new employee. So, if there was ever a time to look at your hiring process in more detail, now is the time to do it. 
   
   Remember: Listen to candidate feedback to help improve the hiring process.
   
   
3. Quick and easy responses where you can: With the high volume of candidates rising every day, it is best to find a way of organising your response process. Whether that is responding to all candidates who are unsuccessful, asking for feedback, interview management, calendar management etc. Creating structure to manage the response process in a timely manner is crucial for running an organised hiring process.
