When it comes to hiring marketers and creatives in 2022, you need to act fast … but not too fast!
There’s no denying there’s a talent shortage in the market, which means we’re seeing more companies offering after a first stage interview, rather than following a traditional 2-3 stage model. After all, you’ve been waiting for someone great, you don’t want to lose them!
But this could be a mistake.
Have they gained a good feel for the culture of your company and what they’re going to be getting up to? Do they ‘vibe’ with your team?
One stage interviews are great for speed, but often in the long term a slightly slower and more considered route, with brand engagement, can help to create greater buy in, commitment and retention post start date.
Brand engagement is the key to effective recruitment. But how can you ensure it?
Creating brand exposure through logos and branded videos showcasing your team and culture.
Putting your best foot forward with a competitive salary and benefits package informed by the market.
Ensuring a positive interview experience for all parties.
Having an end to end process which engages with the candidate from application to start date and beyond.
That’s our retained service in a nutshell!
As expert recruiters we’re here to ensure you fill your role with the right person who is committed and engaged with your brand and company vision. It can mean you may take a little longer to find ‘the one’, but having someone onboard who is fully engaged as well as being the perfect fit will benefit your team and company in the longer term.
