Course Description

How do you find the most ideal candidates to work with your company? Talent acquisition strategies can elevate your recruitment experience. One important way to supplement your talent acquisition strategy is to offer a compelling candidate experience, or CX. This means designing your application, interview, hiring, and onboarding processes with the candidate in mind. Easing candidate’s frustrations, building connections, and treating them with respect can make a difference in sourcing talent that will stay with the company. This course explores active and passive candidates, internal and external sourcing, and recruitment tactics. The employee value proposition is one compelling way to summarize your compensation, benefits, rewards and recognition, work-life balance, and career development opportunities. Compiling this information and using strategic recruitment tactics can bring quality talent into your company.

The candidate experience covers every interaction that a candidate has with your company. You’ll learn some tips for attracting ideal candidates with different sourcing methods and tools.
