Missions in this Learning Path
Using the principles of Design Thinking and the EPIC model developed by Chip & Dan Heath to create memorable moments, you'll learn how to create incredible candidate experiences and design pre-boarding and onboarding for new-hires that leaves nothing to chance.
In this program, you'll learn from expert John Vlastelica of Recruiting Toolbox in how best to sell your role to the candidate by finding out what their motivations are, what will encourage them to move, and how best to position selling in the interview process itself. This is not just for you in Recruiting, but also for Hiring Managers too!
Great feedback enables great recruitment. It allows us to make valid hiring decisions and it's a key element for a positive candidate experience. But what does great feedback look like? In this mission by Nick Johnston, you will learn how to gather, write, prepare and deliver feedback. Nick will share tools to improve candidate experience with feedback, as well as some of the typical problems and how to solve them.
In this mission, we talk about ways you can help your candidate become more self-aware and choose a career that suits them for the long term. By being a guide for your candidate, you can build a sense of trust and they will come back to you again in the future. They will also learn about how to find out more about what they want, and what’s suited to them in their industry. We talk about how to build empathy with your candidate, and how to help them to look inward and figure out what they really want.
Have you ever stopped to consider how the bots, automation and other tools that are supposed to make our lives as recruiters easier are actually pushing candidates away? In this mission, Ed Nathanson shows us why we should take the human approach to candidate experience.
