THE CONSUMER-DRIVEN CANDIDATE IN JOB MARKET
In 2020 the market for workers was replaced with
a market-driven by candidates. Unemployment is
the lowest it was in 50 years. Or it was before
COVID-19 turned up. Today, the pandemic has
prompted a record of 3.5 million people to
petition for joblessness.
Despite this recent turn of events, a certain
degree of treatment still awaits the highly
eligible applicant population. Find a Respiratory
Therapist. Only now, they can have some job in
the world. Even if you don't have highly
specialized skills that can be used in a
pandemic, the highly skilled person holds the
cards in any area.
The need for professional expertise has been
powered by technology. In any market, any
industry, the top 30 percent of candidates still
have choices when it comes to job opportunities
and they know that. A shift in candidate attitude
comes along with this candi date-driven market.
Candidates still deserve the care of the white
glove, even though they dress casually, suffer
layoffs, or are under-qualified.
Candidates hope to provide listening and prompt
response. They can read reviews of our service.
They are going to check out social media sites at
the company. And then, in brand choices, they
will make determinations just like they would buy
a product.
The Candidate workflow
As experts in the acquisition of talent, we need
to adapt to this new viewpoint. The
consumer-driven candidate state of mind is here
and to reach this ideal consumerism, we need to
adjust our mental workflow processes. There's a
reason that we are going back to the same
mechanic, car dealer, salon, or barber. We like
what it feels like to be remembered by name and
known. We respect someone kno wing our
preferences.
Candidates behave precisely the same way. They
want to be recognized and remember their dream
job and salary for their professional talent.
Candidates powered by customers should adopt a
life-cycle much as a customer does.
This lifecycle starts with your brand awareness,
building opinions about your product, considering
it as a choice to apply online, and ending with a
purchase or, as we call it, a hire. The secret in
all potential pipeline hires is understanding the
lifecycle and concentrating on applicant delight.
On the first pitch, product marketers don't try
to persuade a customer and neither do we as
talent pros. Over time, dedication to a target
happens. Working with candidates that are driven
by customers requires a small investment in
understanding. While technology and software are
a great addition to a toolbox for talent
acquisition, the real value lies in understanding
the process and mentality of customer life.
Characteristics of a market-driven candidate with
best practices in meeting the strong customer
demands are listed below.
A Customer-Driven Candidates Traits
1. They value reviews
Accept that your Glassdoor profile will possibly
be viewed by the nominee. I have already planned
a few primary points to answer, even if the
candidate doesn't bring it up. It's an aggressive
strategy and needs talent management to agree
that we no longer take responsibility for our own
stories. If our stories are distorted, as the
consumer-driven candidate also respects honesty,
we need to identify the scars.
2. They expect customer like service
I trust a shopkeeper to treat me with respect and
dignity while I shop at the window shopping. Even
if I can't afford their wares very clearly.
Similarly, a new graduate-level employee who is
under-qualified today is an accomplished recruit
in four years. It is a lengthy game.
Interestingly, twelve years was the most
prolonged time period I had between interactions
with a candidate. They remembered, above all, how
I made them feel and they keep coming back for
more.
It's not uncommon for an employee to stick with
the same recruiter in agency work throughout the
course of their career. This can be learned by
company recruiters and sources. The only
difference is how the relationship was perceived
by each group.
3. Once they choose a brand, their minds can
hardly be changed
In this instance, the first action to take would
be to look at your target market. If you dont
believe me, Seek to get an Apple iPhone user to
turn to Android. It is really tough.
