So how does Smart Recruit Online help with candidate engagement?

Check out these benefits that you’ll get with our platform…

Avoid the cost of candidate drop offs.

Poor communication is one of the top causes of a poor candidate experience and drop offs. Our platform comes with automated and bulk communication tools that make candidate communication easy.

Simply set up automated workflows for each job to contact candidates at vital stages. This is especially useful for high volume or entry level roles, completely automating the first phase of the screening and shortlisting process.

Build and retain the interest of top talent.

A major benefit of our candidate engagement platform tools is automatically providing extra information to build interest in your opportunity. This includes additional company information, links to useful resources, a video on what it’s like to work with you, and more.

Take control of the narrative around your business, and keep top talent engaged with your role.

Protect your company brand.

When you aren’t engaging your candidates, your company brand is affected. We help you keep communication consistent throughout your whole hiring process, with email and SMS templates for the whole team to access.

Never lose track of where you are with a candidate, with all communications kept on their platform profile in chronological order, so you can ensure you’re consistently engaging with them.

Keep your recruitment process efficient.

If your recruitment process is complicated, candidates lose interest. We help you increase your efficiency with an interview scheduling tool. Create multiple interview slots, invite applicants simultaneously, and once booked, personal calendars are updated, and team members and the applicants are notified by email.

Additionally, all communications with candidates are handled from one platform, increasing your overall efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Candidate engagement involves continually communicating with your candidate pool and building their interest in your opportunity and working with you. This may involve contacting candidates through text, email, or face-to-face, providing relevant and useful information.
Engaging with your candidate pool adequately enhances their interest levels, and spreads the message about your business to other potential candidates. It also decreases the risk of drop offs from talented candidates, which can come at a great cost.
