How would your employees and candidates describe your company’s approach to hiring when you’re not in the room? 🤔

Would they say positive things about your unique policies, programs, rewards and benefits, as well as the overall experience they had with your company?

Or would they complain about the lengthy application process, confusing careers page, and lack of communication throughout the hiring process?

When designing your recruitment strategy, keep in mind that establishing, maintaining and nurturing a strong employer brand is one of the most effective ways to attract and retain top candidates.

Recruiting based on CVs is oftentimes unreliable. Here’s why 👇

📣 Resumes lead to unconscious bias, with around 25% of CVs getting rejected solely based on the sound of a candidate’s name.

📣 While 82% of employers require or prefer past job experience, multiple studies suggest that there is no correlation between experience and future job performance.

📣 85% of candidates admit they’re being dishonest when typing out their resumes because they don’t have enough experience or all the required skills.

With these statistics in mind, it’s safe to say that the dependability of CV screening is questionable.

That’s why assessing the candidates’ potential is key to building high-performing teams.
