A great employer brand is shaped considerably by the way the recruiting processes are designed. As a matter of fact, your candidates have certain expectations concerning your processes: <strong>they expect them to be fair, fast and flexible!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input\">However, reality is far from meeting their expectations. Too often, candidates are confronted with lengthy processes that frustrate them. Oftentimes, they don\u2019t even get a reply to their application, but when they do, they receive impersonal, standard answers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input\">But &#8211; if you take a look at the picture below &#8211; you should definitely consider providing your applicants with the best possible (hiring) experience &#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.viasto.com\/en\/files\/2014\/12\/impact-of-a-positive-candidate-experience.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6178\" src=\"http:\/\/www.viasto.com\/en\/files\/2014\/12\/impact-of-a-positive-candidate-experience.png\" alt=\"impact of a positive candidate experience\" width=\"571\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viasto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/impact-of-a-positive-candidate-experience.png 571w, https:\/\/www.viasto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/impact-of-a-positive-candidate-experience-300x131.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\"><span style=\"color: #4ea13d\">Don\u2019t risk losing talents!<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\"><strong>It\u2019s worth it: candidates prefer working for companies with attractive selection processes.<\/strong> If you manage to provide your candidates with an exceptional experience, you\u2019ll automatically boost your recruiting success! How? <strong>First, top talents will not drop out of the process due to frustration<\/strong>. Second, even <strong>rejected candidates recommend your company<\/strong> due to an attractive candidate experience (Hausknecht, Day &amp; Thomas 2004).<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\"><span style=\"color: #4ea13d\">Provide them with a fast hiring process!<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input\">The selection process as the first concrete touch point is at the center of a coherent and company-specific employer brand communication. Excellent and well-thought processes are key to managing your candidate experience in the best possible way. Only if all parts of the recruiting and employer branding process are coordinated, you can be sure to enthuse your candidates starting from the first meeting to the salary negotiation and onboarding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\" style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.viasto.com\/en\/files\/2014\/12\/candidate-journey.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6177\" src=\"http:\/\/www.viasto.com\/en\/files\/2014\/12\/candidate-journey-1024x481.png\" alt=\"candidate-journey\" width=\"573\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\"><span style=\"color: #4ea13d\">From theory to practice<\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"tinymce_structure tinymce_input tinymce_input_focus tinymce_structure_focus\">Web-based selection methods are on the rise.
