Engage with candidates every step of the way in your recruitment process. Use our script and video examples to inspire your communications
Explanation and strategy
- How personalised is your workflow? Do candidates feel like they are getting a personal experience, or are they simply another CV on a huge pile?
- Creating content to be shared at each stage of the workflow allows your candidates to get to know the recruiter and business in more depth.
- Add a video to your ‘Thanks for your application’ email, to tell them more about how the process works.
- Want to bring the candidate in for an interview? Make a video that shows them where to go, show them the reception area that they’ll come to.
- They aren’t the right fit? Create a video telling them they may have not been suitable for this role, but there are other opportunities they could apply for.
