With the Great Resignation causing huge disruption in the talent market, this ghosting trend is becoming all too common.\n\nWe all know that hiring right now is tough, and the last thing you want is to have your candidates ghost you.\n\nLike in the dating world, \u201cIt\u2019s not you, it\u2019s me\u201d, they say \u2013 but truth be told, it could be you.\n\nIt could be your long and clunky recruitment process, your low-ball offer, poor communication, or lack of company benefits.\n\nTo lend a helping hand during one of the most unique hiring events of our time, we\u2019ve rounded up some of the reasons your candidates leave you high and dry.\n\nLearn more about how to recruit the best talent with our <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/recruitment-process-guide\/\">talent recruitment guide<\/a>.\n<h2 id=\"1-your-candidate-doesnt-know-where-they-stand-due-to-poor-communication\">1. Your candidate doesn\u2019t know where they stand due to poor communication<\/h2>\nCommunication is everything when it comes to a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/candidate-experience-checklist\/\">great candidate experience<\/a>. Job candidates are more likely to stay interested if you\u2019re upfront and honest with the process at the start and throughout.\n\nAlternatively, if you leave them hanging on with no follow-up communications and no indication of where they stand, they\u2019re most likely going to be disinterested.\n\nA <a href=\"https:\/\/press.roberthalf.com\/2016-08-11-Are-You-Taking-Too-Long-To-Hire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a> suggested that if candidates don\u2019t hear back from a company within 1-2 weeks, they\u2019ve already disengaged and moved on. <em>*Cue ghosting*\u00a0<\/em>\n\nNot only does it leave a bad taste, but it also shows that your team might be <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/should-you-hire-an-hr-manager\/\">highly disorganised or understaffed<\/a> \u2013 another red flag for job seekers.\n\nTry to notify candidates early and put more effort into keeping candidates updated in every <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/recruitment-process-guide\/\">step of the recruitment process<\/a>.\n\nIf you find yourself losing track of candidates, consider using <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/applicant-tracking-system\/\">Hiring Essentials, the ultimate candidate management tool.<\/a>\n<h2 id=\"2-they-believe-they-can-receive-better-benefits-at-another-organisation\">2. They believe they can receive better benefits at another organisation<\/h2>\nEveryone loves employee benefits. From yoga classes to free lunch, gym memberships and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-create-an-employee-share-scheme-ess\/\">employee share options (ESOP)<\/a>, there are many benefits that candidates now expect from a role.\n\nHowever, if a job candidate is interviewing at a company with minimal employee benefits, chances will hold out for something more in line with the candidate&#8217;s expectations.\n\nWith many more companies investing additional time and money into establishing their <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employer-branding\/\">company branding<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employee-value-proposition-evp\/\">employee value proposition (EVP)<\/a>, candidates can actively seek out the benefits they want from a prospective employer. With this said, having strong employer branding and EVP has never been more important.\n\nThis is why you should include any employee benefits in your <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/job-description-template\/\">job description<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/ideal-job-ad-template\/\">job advertisement<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/make-job-ads-stand-out\/\">make your job ads<\/a> unique in the eyes of job seekers.\n\nIn today\u2019s job environment, candidates are looking for benefits that will improve their experience with their chosen organisation, and this can be the difference between that final yay or nay.\n\n<em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-advertise-job-openings\/\">How to promote job openings effectively<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\n<h2 id=\"3-your-recruitment-process-is-too-long\">3. Your recruitment process is too long<\/h2>\nDid you know it\u2019s estimated that the best talent is <a href=\"https:\/\/workleap.com\/blog\/12-recruiting-stats\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">off the market<\/a> in just 10 days? It\u2019s not a lot of time to get your ducks in a row and requires everyone involved in the hiring process to be proactive\n\nConflictingly, according to Glassdoor, the average interview process takes 23.7 days, which means you need to speed up your process by almost 2.5x.\n\nThe talent market is heating up faster than ever, so to attract the best talent and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/right-person-to-hire\/\">hire the right fit<\/a> for your company, you need to act quickly.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homer disappearing into the bushes\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2638 alignnone\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/homer-disappear.gif\" width=\"500\"\/>\n<em>Your candidate after they haven\u2019t heard from you in over a week.<\/em>\n<h3 id=\"does-this-hiring-process-sound-familiar\">Does this hiring process sound familiar?<\/h3>\nPicture this.\n\nYou\u2019ve found a great candidate through a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/ideal-job-ad-template\/\">job posting<\/a>, and you\u2019re ready to hire them from the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/hiring-interview-checklists\/\">first interview<\/a>. However, your current processes require that you make them go through an additional four rounds.\n\nThe first round is a chat with the acquisition manager, the second they meet face-to-face or virtually with the hiring manager, the third is a written task, the fourth is a presentation, and the fifth is a chance to meet the team.\n\nWith busy schedules and leaving time for internal discussions, the entire process could take up to six weeks. With so much time requested of the candidate, it can really add up \u2013 and worse yet, leave a sour taste, especially if they did not get the job offer.\n\nRemember, the recruitment process is a two-way street, and if they can secure a role with another company that doesn\u2019t make them jump through many hoops, chances are they\u2019ll grab that opportunity with both hands\n\nThis can be disastrous for your hiring plans as you might find that you\u2019re consistently losing top talent due to the length of your process.\n\nOur advice? Cut down the rounds of interviews or have longer interviews where you bring in different people from your business. This can reduce commuting time to meet and reduce the overall time spent on the process.\n\nThere\u2019s never been a more difficult time to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/talent-sourcing-strategies\/\">attract and hire top talent<\/a>. With the current state of the employment market, you want to ensure that your application process isn\u2019t turning your candidate off.\n<h3 id=\"get-your-hiring-house-in-order-with-an-applicant-tracking-system-ats\">Get your hiring house in order with an applicant tracking system (ATS)<\/h3>\nBeing a hiring manager right now is tough. Chances are, you\u2019re juggling a myriad of tasks on top of your usual workload \u2013 scheduling interviews, reviewing CVs, meeting candidates and the list goes on.\n\nTake the pressure off the administrative tasks involved and invest in an ATS. It can help streamline your hiring process and allow your entire team to collaborate within one <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/recruitment-software\/\">digital recruitment platform<\/a>. You can move candidates from different stages of the interview process, and when you\u2019ve found your perfect match, you can digitally onboard them straight into 91±¬ΑΟ.\n\nWant to learn more? <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/request-a-demo\/\">Get in touch with one of our small business specialists<\/a> to learn how you can better manage your recruitment process.\n<h2 id=\"4-theyve-received-a-better-salary-package\">4. They\u2019ve received a better salary package<\/h2>\nThey say that money talks, and this couldn\u2019t be more true when it comes to offering time.\n\nWhile lots of other factors come into the mix of accepting a salary package, it\u2019s one of the main driving factors. Candidates are no longer accepting low-ball offers, and it could turn them off altogether, leading to the dreaded ghost.\n\nDuring the early stages of the hiring process, you want to ensure the salary range is discussed, including additional benefits. The last thing you want is getting to the end of the recruitment process where you\u2019ve made an offer, to find that they\u2019re asking double!\n<h2 id=\"5-theyre-holding-out-for-an-offer-at-a-more-reputable-company\">5. They\u2019re holding out for an offer at a more reputable company<\/h2>\nIt\u2019s a jobseekers\u2019 market at the moment. The need for top talent in companies has never been more obvious, and job seekers are prepared to hold out for that perfect role. No longer do they feel bound to work a job they dislike for a company they don\u2019t care about. They\u2019re looking for a role at a company that can provide fulfilment and the opportunity to work meaningfully.\n\nIn our Employee Movement and Retention Report, we found that an unprecedented 48% of workers are planning on looking for a new role, within or outside their organisation in the next year. What was even more concerning is that 40% \u2013 the vast majority \u2013 of these are planning on looking in the next six months, and 15% are looking right now. While there\u2019s no rush for job seekers to secure a role, they\u2019ve definitely got one foot out the door and are ready to make the jump when they find the perfect opportunity.\n<h2 id=\"candidate-ghosting-is-a-scary-thought-but-use-it-to-your-advantage\">Candidate ghosting is a scary thought, but use it to your advantage<\/h2>\nThe reality is that candidate ghosting can creep up on you \u2013 even in reputable companies with great benefits.
