Recently companies have been increasing their methods of recruiting, screening, and selecting their candidates. Technology has been the big driver for this due to the way they can collect data, and sort it for relevance. However it is important to note that recruiting is not the end all be all when it comes to hiring new employees. Instead there are usually three stages. Much like in coaching, recruiting is the initial phase. This is the time to identify potential individuals who would be a good fit to the company on the surface. Once that is collected, then the screening process begins, which narrows down the candidate pool considerably. Screening helps indicate those who are like to succeed and fit in with the organizations culture. This can also be considered an interview process for selecting a candidate. Finally, an organzitaion can make an informed decision based on their recruitment strategies. However, the biggest compliant that I and I am sure many applicants have is the lack of notification or updates. Did they receive my application, resume, and necessary documents? Have they moved on to the next round? No news is good news right? WRONG! Potential candidates want to know how they process is progressing. Also they want to know if they are being considered for the job or not. Sometimes by informing an applicant that they are not being considered for the position, it can leave a good impression on them and potentially look for other opportunities in that company.
