Building candidate experience is a team sport

Interview with: Maja Gojtowska
HR Blogger, Author of the book "Candidate experience..."

While there is a fierce battle for talent, getting candidates to consider a job offer requires out-of-the-box solutions. On the other hand, there is an undeveloped group of candidates in the labor market who have been pushed to the sidelines as a result of the recruiters’ biases. There is a lot to show off in this area, but at the same time, also a lot of anticipation for change.

Maja Gojtowska
The thread that needs to be addressed in organizations and explained above is that recruitment is not an HR process, but a business process. HR is a provider of certain elements of the process, helping, advising, and giving much more. However, without the involvement of the hiring manager, and without the commitment of the leader who wants to find an employee, at the end of the day, we will not be able to do much.
