| Homecoming Director Faye Tessendorf speaks about the critical importance of feedback from both a client and candidate perspective.
Feedback is something that Homecoming Revolution prides itself on. We see each and every candidate as an extended asset of our business and we need critical commentary to help candidates to learn and grow. A lot of recruitment agencies tend to send candidate CVs to employers as a simple post box procedure with little human interaction. At Homecoming, we do the exact opposite. We get to know the candidate on a personal level to really help develop them in their professional capacity. We understand that clients are exceptionally busy and recruitment is not necessarily their core focus, but our team has been trained to ensure that we are pushing clients for feedback after every single candidate they interview. From a client perspective, feedback also helps us get to know your business better so we can help you on future placements. It does not need to be a formal process and seen as an extra roadblock in the recruitment cycle but rather as simple as a quick phone call. Through our experience as a global headhunting firm, we have noticed a huge increase in candidates not willing to be put forward for certain roles because of negative experience with employers when it comes to a lack of feedback either personally or via their personal or professional networks. Clients need to be aware that brand and perception is of vital importance and the way you treat candidates in an interview has the ability to cause a negative ripple effect on your organisation especially with social media being accessible to everybody. It is critical to ensure that even if candidate is not right person for job they still have a positive experience throughout the recruitment process. |
