Applicant Attraction
Finding the right applicants, quickly and at the right cost is a challenge that most organisations face. Changes in the recruitment landscape including technology, social media and applicant behaviour mean that organisations need to be able to adapt to how they attract employees in order to remain competitive.
Applicant Attraction – The value in getting it right
Example - an organisation hires 20 salespeople per year on an average salary of £30,000, taking on average 35 days to hire and seeing a return of 2.5 times salary on each sales person.
If this time to hire can be reduced by 20% the organisation would save over £34,000 per annum!
This demonstrates how important it is to be able to attract the right people quickly.
Applicant Attraction – Using the tools available
