Did you know that 65% of candidates who turn down jobs or decline to go through the entire interview process do so because of poor candidate experience, according to LinkedIn? And that only 25% of candidates are satisfied with candidate experience according to Sapia.ai?
Candidate experience is key. But what is candidate experience exactly?
My definition is an experience where every interaction leaves the candidate feeling good about:
✅ Themselves (first and foremost – even if they don’t get the job)
✅ The process itself (again, even if they don’t get the job)
✅ The company/brand (turn all candidates (successful or not) into raving fans

About
In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More
I’m curious, what has your experience been with implicit bias training?
Having spent 15 years working as a professional recruiter and 11 years teaching hiring managers how to hire more effectively and efficiently I’ve always felt that implicit bias training was a waste of time.
There is more and more research now backing up my gut feel. Here are two articles that unpack this pretty nicely.
Even worse, there is consistent evidence that bias training done the “wrong way” (think lukewarm diversity training) can actually have the opposite impact, inducing anger and frustration among white employees. What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, it’s a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

My Facebook memories told me that 1 year ago today was my first appearance on Nine’s Today Show. Georgie and I had a spirited discussion about the older workforce. I was optimistic back then. I was FINALLY seeing some cracks in our decades old discrimination against older workers.
Not so much anymore. I’ve read recent stories that Ageism is still alive and well and increasing in our new COVID environment.

I’m going to be unpacking 9 Keys to Avoid the Great Resignation (reverse engineered from over 5,000 exit interviews)…and unveiling some new (and dare I say a bit controversial) insights around this model.
Have you considered the HUGE opportunity that The Great Resignation provides from a talent acquisition perspective? Think about it, regardless of whether they act on it, MULTIPLE studies show that at least 40% of the workforce is open to looking for other work in 2022.

I had a great time speaking to Ben O’Shea on The West Australian‘s The West Live show about what really drives people to change jobs.
Like in all booms, companies within WA are losing great people for the allure of a high pay packet working in a FIFO environment. Can leaders do anything to stop this from happening (spoiler alert – yes!).
Why do people look for other roles (spoiler alert – despite what most leaders think, it’s rarely about money)?
What do you do if you lose someone that you don’t want to lose? Can you entice them back (spoiler alert – statistically, yes, 20% of the time).
