Candidates are the customers of your recruitment department; recruiters have to fundamentally sell the role to acquire their desired talent pool… their target market. In order to build a better candidate experience, think about the candidates as customers.

We’ve talked about Millennials and the Baby Boomers, but what about the near-forgotten Gen X? These employees have much to give in terms of experience and industry knowledge. The fact that those between the ages of 40 and 49 have the lowest levels of engagement is disconcerting because they are the next (if not current) organizational leaders. As the current leadership of your company, it’s your responsibility to not only understand why they are disengaged but also how to fix the problem.

One of the most underused but surprisingly effective approaches to hiring focuses on “silver medalists.” If you’re not familiar with the term in recruiting, it is revisiting past applicants who that came in second during a previous hiring effort. Now if you’re thinking that these individuals are “rejects,” you could be wrong because they may not have been hired simply because they had the bad luck of applying for a job at the very same time that a superstar candidate also did.
