THE HIRING PROCESS
If hiring the best people possible in the shortest amount of time isn’t already a top priority for your company, it should be—especially in a market that’s changing as rapidly as renewable energy. Every day that a job that remains open costs you money. So, how do you hire the best candidates in the most efficient way? Below we provide you with everything you need to know in order to hire the best candidates.
Prioritizing candidates’ time throughout the hiring process
Companies often fail to realize that the way they conduct themselves during the hiring process is a direct reflection of how they operate overall. If your goal is to just fill a position, then feel free to move as slowly as you like—eventually someone will be willing to take the job.
EMPLOYER BRANDING
In today’s competitive hiring landscape, companies need a cohesive and well-defined brand to help them stand out from other businesses that are also hoping to attract top talent. Many companies spend considerable resources developing their corporate website and social media presence to reflect their brand. However, what many organizations don’t realize is that a company’s employer brand—their reputation as an employer—can be observed as early as the interview process. If your interview process reflects and strengthens your company’s brand, instead of detracting from it, you can gain a competitive edge in recruitment.
