Important points in the recruitment process
Searching for and finding the right candidates for your vacancies is an expensive process. According to a study by the École du Recrutement, the average cost of recruitment in France varies between 5,000 and 8,000 euros. As you'd expect, while a successful hire will deliver a significant return on this investment, a poor hire will incur additional costs. A structured recruitment process will simplify your task, and here are a few key points to bear in mind :
Delivering an optimal candidate experience
The candidate experience plays a central role in corporate culture, with 78% of candidates saying that the recruitment and interview processes reflect the value the organization places on its employees. That's why it's so important to emphasize your company's strengths during these stages, as this is when potential employees form their first impression of your organization.
Avoid unconscious bias
Unconscious biases are judgments, beliefs or attitudes acquired without our necessarily being aware of them. But where do they come from? Our brains are constantly processing a multitude of information, which sometimes leads them to take shortcuts. Our prejudices can also creep into the recruitment process and influence the choice of candidate for a specific position.
Recruiting the ideal candidate
During interviews, you look to see if the candidate can fit in with your team and if you can envisage a fruitful collaboration in the future. At the same time, the candidate assesses whether your company matches his or her professional expectations. It's important not to rush things, as this could lead to gaps in the collection of information crucial to making an informed decision, and it could also compromise employee retention, especially if the person recruited is not suited to the position.
