A look at the history of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetalentboard.org\/cande-awards\/\">CandE Awards<\/a>, which are produced by the Talent Board, reveals just how far we&#8217;ve come and how far we have to go. A few years ago, Orler noted, if a candidate walked away from a hiring process with an attitude of indifference toward an employer, that was considered a positive sign. Now there\u2019s the growing realization that candidates who think positively of an employer\u2019s hiring regimen will yield future dividends: In 2016, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetalentboard.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2016_Talent_Board_NAM_CandE_Research_Report_FINAL_170202.pdf\">64 percent of candidates<\/a> who gave their overall experience a five-star rating said they were more likely to refer someone or apply again. With 40 percent of tech pros planning to change jobs in 2017, according to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\/recruiting\/ebooks\/dice-tech-salary-report\/?CMPID=OS_ERC_UP_EMP_AV_2017SS__\"> Dice Tech Salary Survey,<\/a> forward-thinking companies have positioned themselves to cash in by taking their candidate experience to the next level. Here\u2019s a look at what they\u2019re doing to raise the bar.<\/p>\n<h3>Treating Candidates Like Customers<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than trying to appeal to everyone, and rejecting large numbers of candidates, companies such as Dovetail Software are using predictive analytics and data science to build connections with tech professionals who will thrive in the firm\u2019s autonomous, remote-work environment. \u201cLooking at candidates through the customer lens lets you build an intuitive, transparent brand,\u201d explained Dwane Lay, Dovetail\u2019s VP of Customer Experience. \u201cKnowing who you are as a company and painting a clear picture of your culture and values gives tech pros the opportunity to opt-in or opt-out, so they don\u2019t waste their time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Career Planning<\/h3>\n<p>Of the 40 percent of tech pros who plan to change jobs in 2017, 63 percent want higher compensation and 31 percent are looking for more responsibility, according to the Dice Salary Survey. To address their desires for career development and progression, many companies are incorporating career-mapping exercises into the hiring process, and providing tech pros with the necessary tools and information to build a career roadmap.<\/p>\n<h3>Ditching the Whiteboard<\/h3>\n<p>More and more companies are bowing to the <a href=\"https:\/\/theoutline.com\/post\/1166\/programmers-are-confessing-their-coding-sins-to-protest-a-broken-job-interview-process\">protests of tech pros<\/a> and eliminating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dice.com\/career-advice\/more-companies-willing-to-pay-for-your-certifications\">dreaded whiteboard coding interview<\/a>. In fact, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/shr5TdnpVYVTpeRrN\/tbluCbToxQ2knSLhh\">400 employers<\/a> have joined a growing list of companies that prefer to use pair programming exercises, take-home tests, or technical discussions to evaluate a developer&#8217;s technical skills.<\/p>\n<h3>Personalization<\/h3>\n<p>Tech pros are being guided toward job openings that match their skills, interests, and career goals. \u201cCompanies are replacing drip marketing, which sends the same message to every prospect, with personalized lifecycle marketing which segments job opportunities and messages by technical specialty and a prospect\u2019s stage of engagement,\u201d explained Crystal Miller Lay, CEO of Branded Strategies. Other companies are hiring candidate-care specialists to stay in touch with tech pros after making initial contact, or even offering personalized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/candidate-concierge-service-vetting-candidates-21st-century-hogan\">candidate concierge services<\/a>. Among other duties, a concierge tailors communication, feedback and on-site visits toward the needs and preferences of each candidate.<\/p>\n<h3>Full Transparency<\/h3>\n<p>Best-in-class companies provide an open window into their hiring process. They disclose how many weeks the process will take up-front; many also provide interview prep materials and practice exams as well as tools that allow tech pros to self-schedule their interviews. Plus, they don\u2019t just contact those who are qualified; they give everyone feedback. \u201cOnly contacting the successful applicants leaves the others in the dark,\u201d Orler noted. \u201cThink about from their perspective: a candidate believes they were qualified for a position, otherwise they wouldn\u2019t have applied. They are bound to go away mad if they never hear back.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Benchmarking<\/h3>\n<p>Companies are moving from shot-in-the-dark, gut-feel decisions about the business and financial impact of a positive or negative candidate experience to data-backed decisions via benchmarking and <a href=\"http:\/\/recruitingdaily.com\/net-promoter-score-candidate-experience\/\">Net Promoter Scores.<\/a> \u201cThe laggards are able to justify budget increases and move further along the continuum by evaluating the effectiveness of their overall strategy,\u201d Miller Lay said.<\/p>\n<h3>Strategic Communication<\/h3>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/2015\/03\/prweb12565921.htm\">survey by 15Five<\/a>, 81 percent of employees would rather join a company that values \u201copen communication\u201d than one that offers perks such as top health plans, free food and gym memberships. And this is still an area for improvement, as 47 percent of candidates say they never received any communication from a prospective employer two months after applying. Instead of relying on email or a cold rejection letter, companies that provide a standout candidate experience match their communication methodology to a candidate\u2019s preferences and level of involvement. For instance, a tech pro who interviewed for a position might receive a phone call from the hiring manager explaining why they aren\u2019t the right fit. Understanding why they weren\u2019t selected makes it much more likely that a rejected candidate will refer a colleague or apply for a more suitable opening. When it comes to competing for the attention and services of in-demand tech pros, companies that care enough to communicate promptly and personally will enjoy a clear competitive advantage. Orler sums it up this way: \u201cThings have progressed to the point that simply saying \u2018thanks for applying\u2019 just doesn\u2019t cut it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although businesses have increased their focus on building strong relationships with candidates, delivering an outstanding experience at every stage of the hiring process remains a work in progress at most companies. \u201cImproving the candidate experience isn\u2019t a project with a specific end date; it\u2019s a program that requires continuous and perpetual improvement,\u201d explained Elaine Orler, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":132,"featured_media":227644462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2155,2158],"class_list":["post-999693983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hiring-candidates","category-onboarding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
