Heat Pumps Gas Engineer

Having prepared some questions to ask in an interview will definitely make your life easier. The last thing you want is to stumble and the last hurdle when the hiring manager asks, &ldquo;Do you have any questions for me?&rdquo;
Remember an interview&nbsp;isn&rsquo;t just a chance for the interviewer to grill you&mdash;it&rsquo;s your opportunity to decide whether a position would be as great for you as you would be for the position. So it&rsquo;s vital to have a few good questions to ask in an interview as a candidate.
To get you thinking, we&rsquo;ve put together a list of the best questions to ask in an interview. Don&rsquo;t&rsquo; use this as a be all and end all, this is just a starting point, some of this stuff will be covered during the course of your discussion and different questions are relevant to different companies/positions.
Firstly,
Top tips for asking an employer questions in a job interview
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t say you have no questions.&nbsp;You probably already know that whether you&rsquo;re stressed or relaxed, whether you think you&rsquo;ve fumbled the conversation badly or you&rsquo;ve got this job in the bag, the worst thing you could say is, &ldquo;Nope, I&rsquo;m good.&rdquo;
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Be flexible, don&rsquo;t be afraid to deviate from the list if your questions have already been answered or if you think others will be more appropriate.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ask at least a few conversation related questions.&nbsp;Show you&rsquo;re invested and you&rsquo;ve been paying attention throughout the interview process by customising your questions&nbsp;to the specific position and company
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t just ask questions at the end.&nbsp;Interviews work best when they&rsquo;re a conversation, so don&rsquo;t be afraid to pose questions when it makes sense throughout the conversation.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ask questions you really want to know the answers to.&nbsp;Don&rsquo;t only ask questions you think will impress your interviewer. With a few exceptions (which we&rsquo;ll cover) this is your chance to ask about the topics you&rsquo;re really curious about&mdash;and will affect whether you even want the job. Maybe a project that really excited you when you read the job description hasn&rsquo;t come up during the interview. Perhaps it&rsquo;s not clear to you what the job actually entails, and you want to ask what a typical day looks like.
Here are some examples of questions to ask:
1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can you show me examples of projects I&rsquo;d be working on?
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What attributes does someone need to have in order to be really successful in this position?
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What learning and professional development opportunities are available to your employees?
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What metrics or goals will my performance be evaluated against?
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Why did you come to this company?
6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What&rsquo;s your favourite part about working here?
7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What&rsquo;s one challenge you occasionally or regularly face in your job?
8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What direction do you see this company heading in over the next few years?
9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What gets you most excited about the company&rsquo;s future?
10. Who will I work with most closely?
11. Who will I report to directly?
Questions NOT to ask!
Just as important as knowing what questions to ask in an interview is knowing what to avoid. While you want to make sure you have all the info you&rsquo;d need before taking a job, some questions are better asked after you&rsquo;ve gotten an offer, or once you have started the role, and maybe not on your first day!
When does my PTO kick in?
Just how much is the monthly childcare allowance?
When do I start? &ndash; Too cocky!

What should YOU ask in a job interview?

&ldquo;Hiring Manager, and Recruiter &ndash; what is the difference?&rdquo; A candidates guide&hellip;
To attract, vet, hire,and onboard talent, companies will need the help of two key parties: hiring managers and recruiters. During your job seeking process, you will hear the terms &ldquo;Recruiter&rdquo; and &ldquo;Hiring Manager&rdquo; said to you many times, but what do they actually do, and is there a difference?
To answer what is the difference between hiring manager and recruiter is in simple terms, the first being responsible for the process and the other being responsible for the outcome of the process.&zwj;
&nbsp;
What does it mean to be &ldquo;responsible for hiring&rdquo;?
Now, when we talk about the &ldquo;responsibility in hiring,&rdquo; it refers to the outcome of the process, i.e., the person that gets hired, and not the entire process, i.e., the journey up until the point the hiring decision is made. In those terms, it is the recruiter who manages the hiring process and the hiring manager who makes the final hiring decision.
While hiring is best done as a collaborative operation, it is the role of the hiring manager that has to hold the outcome of the recruiting process. Therefore, when a bad hire happens, it is the duty of the manager to investigate the issue and craft better recruitment measures.
&zwj;
&zwj;What is a Hiring Manager?
A Hiring Manager is someone hiring for positions on their team. Yet hiring managers typically don&rsquo;t necessarily spend much of their time hiring; hiring is just one part of their job responsibilities. Instead, they have a title that describes what they do, like Head of HR, or Customer Service Manager or Senior Accountant. They only become a &ldquo;Hiring Manager&rdquo; when they have an open role they&rsquo;re hiring for.
Some of their responsibilities may include:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Writing the job description
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Requesting interviews with qualified applicants
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Collecting feedback from the team about what they think of an applicant
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Offering the role to an applicant, or feeding back a decline with hopefully some constructive feedback.
&nbsp;
What does a Recruiter do?
A recruiter&rsquo;s main job is connecting qualified candidates with a company&rsquo;s open roles. This means they&rsquo;re trying to find people with the right skills and experience to match what a company is looking for.&nbsp;
Some recruiters sit internally within a company&rsquo;s HR department and hire only for roles within that company. Other recruiters may work for a recruiting agency and help multiple companies. Companies without internal recruiters will hire agency recruiters to help them find candidates. Dynamite Recruitment are an agency.
Some of a recruiter&rsquo;s responsibilities may include:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Finding qualified candidates on job boards and LinkedIn and inviting them to apply for a role
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reviewing submitted CV&rsquo;s&nbsp;to see if they fit the job requirements
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Conducting an introductory interview with an applicant
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Providing information about a company&rsquo;s salary and benefits, and more detail of what the job will entail.
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Liaising with the Hiring Manager and candidate to arrange interviews, start dates, managing any unforeseen hold ups and the coach the candidate through the Hiring process.
&nbsp;
&zwj;How does they work together successfully?
1. Get to know each other
The first meeting between a Recruitment and a Hiring Managerstablishes the search's expectations and kicks off the hiring process. Hiring Managers should inform recruiters about their team and the position the role will play within it, as well as the qualifications and experience required. This provides recruiters with a starting point by narrowing the search parameters, as well as the background knowledge required to successfully engage with candidates. Recruiters, in turn, can assist in the establishment of a timeline and the formulation of an oveverall recruiting strategy.
2. Communication
To be effective, Recruiters and Hiring Managers maintain regular contact, and hold post-interview updates via phone, video call, in person, or email. This type of open and consistent communication helps both Recruiters and Hiring Managers with staying on top of applicant expectations, competitors, and the current job market. On the other hand, if feedback is delayed or doesn&rsquo;t happen at all; further interviews, hiring decisions, and onboarding can all be delayed. Having open lines of coounication with candidates is also essential. Setting clear expectations for next steps and providing timely feedback, as well as transparent negotiations, extending offers, and onboarding, are all critical. Even if you don't end up getting onboarded, it's critical to provide you with a positive interview experience.
&nbsp;
Dealing with a Hiring Manager:
When talking to a hiring manager, you want to sell yourself on why you&rsquo;re right for the role &mdash; after all, they makes the final decision on whether you&rsquo;re hired or not.
Compared to the conversation with the Recruiter, a Hiring Manager will likely ask you more in-depth questions about your skills and experience, your successes and your failures.
This is also a perfect time to assess whether you think they would be the right Manager and company for you. You can so this &nbsp;ask questions about their communication style, the team, and how they measure success, and what their procceses are.

When talking to a Recruiter, it&rsquo;s really about seeing if you&rsquo;re a match for the company you have applied for &mdash; and that doesn&rsquo;t just include your experience. It&rsquo;s also whether you match more logistical things like working preferences (remote, hybrid, in-person) and salary range, location etc.
Be honest about your experience and what you&rsquo;re looking for. It&rsquo;s better to know upfront whether the role is right for you rather than wasting your and the company&rsquo;s time down the road. This means you can (and should!) and ask the tough questions&nbsp;about salary, working preferences, and company culture.&nbsp;A recruiter might not know all the role&rsquo;s technical aspects, the specifics of the team structure, or how the role is managed. These are good questions to ask the Hiring Manager
Be consistent with communication throughout the application process, this includes any interview rescheduling, feedback, you&rsquo;re availability etc.
&nbsp;
We hope this helps, and squashes any confusion you may have had with these to recruitment terms! We will be posting more of these definitions in the future so please keep checking back in.

“Hiring Manager, and Recruiter – what is the difference?” A candidates guide…

Starting a new career is nerve-wracking, whether you&rsquo;re finding purpose after University or changing careers at a later age - and those nerves get worse when you don&rsquo;t have experience.
&nbsp;
If you haven't worked during your time at university or are looking to move into a career field, you may be finding yourself in the classic catch-22 situation where you need experience to get a job, and a job to get experience. You probably have more experience than you think. Most soft skills are transferable, and if you love learning new things, you&rsquo;ll adjust to a new position quickly.
&nbsp;
Below are tips to help you boost your application and get your foot in the door interviewing for roles you don&rsquo;t have demonstratable experience in.
&nbsp;
RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS &amp; APPRENTICESHIPS
&nbsp;
If you're struggling to secure a long-term or permanent position, internships and apprenticeships are great ways to gain that much-needed experience. They make it possible to earn a wage while acquiring first-hand knowledge of a job or organisation, are useful for building a network of contacts and can sometimes lead to permanent employment.
&nbsp;
An&nbsp;internship&nbsp;looks impressive on your CV and can make you stand out from the crowd. Some larger companies may run formal internship programmes, so check the websites of organisations you're interested in regularly to see what is available, smaller businesses do not always advertise apprenticeships so you&nbsp; may have to contact targeted companies directly
&nbsp;
On an&nbsp;apprenticeship, you'll be employed to do a real job while studying for a formal qualification. You'll sign a contract with your employer, and then receive training in a specific profession.
&nbsp;
Apprenticeships vary in length and can last for up to four years with the majority of apprentices being guaranteed employment upon completion.
&nbsp;
VOLUNTEER
&nbsp;
Volunteering&nbsp;positions are a sure-fire way to boost your employability, especially if you have no relevant experience. Although unpaid, you'll profit from the skills and contacts you gain.
&nbsp;
Volunteering experience shows commitment, initiative and a strong work ethic, which are all valuable, appealing traits to prospective employers.
&nbsp;
You&rsquo;ll also develop a range of sought-after, transferable skills, such as:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Teamwork
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Confidence
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Time management
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adaptability
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Communication
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Organisation
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work ethic
&nbsp;
BUILD YOUR NETWORK
&nbsp;
When you're starting out with no experience, who you know can be just as important as what you know. A recommendation to an employer from a personal contact can go a long way. But how do you build up a network of contacts if you're struggling to enter the world of work?
&nbsp;
If you're at university, utilise the contacts available to you before you graduate.
Make the most of&nbsp;open days, careers fairs, recruitment networking&nbsp;events&nbsp;and employer talks or lectures. Visit your university careers service to see if they can put you in touch with employers in your area of interest.
&nbsp;
Keep in touch with lecturers, the people you meet on work experience placements or internships and fellow volunteers - you never know when these contacts might come in useful.
&nbsp;
Social media is also an effective way of building and maintaining your professional network. Being on sites such as LinkedIn, and following and connecting with companies and individuals in your chosen field, can yield impressive results.
&nbsp;
BE HONEST &amp; EMPHASISE EXISTING SKILLS
&nbsp;
Being honest about your experience is vital but being apologetic about your lack of experience may hinder your chances of finding a job.
&nbsp;
When you're&nbsp;writing your CV, focus on the skills you do have, rather than the ones you don't. Analyse the job description and list all the skills and personal qualities that make you a good fit for the job.
Emphasise transferable skills such as communication, energy, drive, ambition. leadership ability, team working and attention to detail.
&nbsp;
Also, don't forget your participation to any clubs or sports teams etc you've been part of while at University, This is because you'll have developed skills in areas such as team working and leadership
&nbsp;
TARGET REALISTIC ROLES &amp; TAILOR YOUR APPLICATION
&nbsp;
There's nothing wrong with aiming high, but if you've no previous experience, starting your job search by applying for senior roles is pointless. Be realistic and instead target entry-level or junior jobs and be prepared to start at the bottom and work your way up.
&nbsp;
Do your research and apply to companies that interest you. Tailor each application and ask if there are any entry-level positions available, as you're looking to break into the industry.
&nbsp;
Tailoring your CV for every job you apply for may feel like a time-consuming task; but trust us, it&rsquo;s worth it.
&nbsp;
The person looking at your CV wants to know that you&rsquo;re a plausible fit for the role, and that you&rsquo;re passionate about fulfilling it. Not only will tailoring your CV enhance your suitability, it&rsquo;ll also demonstrate your interest in the role and company. This means you&rsquo;re more likely to get shortlisted, and ultimately secure the job you want. Let&rsquo;s face it, it&rsquo;s much better than blending in.
&nbsp;
Parts of your CV you want to consider tailoring:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Personal statement
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work history
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Skills
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work-related qualifications and training

Tips On How To Get A Job With No Experience

After a challenging year for talent and recruitment in 2023 due to a range of factors, including an uncertain economic climate, talent priorities have shifted for many businesses. But how will this impact the emerging industry trends for 2024??&nbsp; To understand the recruitment priorities and challenges the UK will likely face in 2024, 900 UK-based professionals involved in their organisation&rsquo;s recruitment decision-making in 2023 we researched and interviewed.&nbsp; The findings of this research have revealed nine trends and considerations, both positive and negative, that the industry is anticipating for 2024. By identifying these trends early, organisations can prepare for the challenges 2024 is expected to bring and create a proactive strategy for success.&nbsp;
1. TALENT DROUGHT&nbsp; &ldquo;93% of hiring managers are concerned about a talent drought rolling into 2024.&rdquo; Demographic shifts, including an ageing population and lack of EU workers, are reducing the pool of available, experienced, and qualified workers. In 2024, the UK&rsquo;s job market will further experience a shortage of skilled candidates as rapid technological advancements contribute to a significant and growing skills gap due to the specific skills required to work alongside new tech.&nbsp; Not only are organisations struggling with the low supply of qualified candidates, but 79% of hiring managers anticipate reduced talent attraction budgets for 2024, with only 4% expecting an increase. This will potentially exacerbate the challenge of sourcing in-demand candidates from a limited talent pool.&nbsp; To address this challenge, many organisations are outsourcing their talent functions, with 50% already outsourcing and 27% considering outsourcing in 2024.&nbsp;
2. (DE&amp;amp;I) &ndash; IT MATTERS&nbsp; 2024 is not a clean slate, and a range of factors from 2023 will continue to impact the landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&amp;amp;I) into the new year. In particular, the cost-of-living crisis, low retention rates, and increasing skill gaps are increasing external pressure that could see organisations falling short of DE&amp;amp;I efforts. While it is still a high priority for many organisations, there is evidence that the DE&amp;amp;I focus is slipping due to external factors. &nbsp; 42% of C-Suite leaders said they currently consider DE&amp;amp;I a minimal or limited priority.&nbsp;
3. KNOWLEDGE GAPS 19% of UK organisations say they lack accessibility initiatives. While the Equality Act 2010 protects individuals regarding accessibility and recruitment, including support with application forms and interview arrangements, there is a strong knowledge gap among hiring managers.&nbsp;
This confusion is clearest when recruiting temporary and contingent workers, with almost 31% of hiring managers saying they do not feel adequately equipped to handle situations which may require knowledge of UK employment law if dealing with temporary and contingent workers.&nbsp; This topic brings us onto our next consideration for 2024.
4. STAFF MISCLASSIFICATION &amp;quot;94% of hiring managers agree there should be increased clarity regarding the legal distinctions between permanent employees and temporary/contingent workers.&amp;quot; Worker misclassification is a pressing concern for UK hiring managers, as the resulting compliance issues are expected to be a major challenge in 2024.&nbsp; Three categories of people provide work for an employer: employees, workers and self-employed (contractor/freelance). As each status has different rights and benefits, problems can arise when people are misclassified, particularly employees being misclassified as workers or self-employed, and therefore missing out on certain rights. &nbsp;&nbsp; While mistakes are often honest errors, the reason behind misclassifications does not soften the consequences - employers could be held liable for breach of statutory rights, resulting in back payments, fines, and reputational damage.&nbsp; An increased focus on training and support around recruitment and employment law will be essential in 2024 to prevent the trend of worker misclassification from becoming a greater concern.&nbsp;
5. AI&nbsp; AI was certainly one of last year&amp;#39;s biggest trends; in 2024, we are likely to see its continued popularity. However, the primary AI trend for 2024 will be learning that automation is not always a perfect solution, and its implementation should be carefully considered. Automation can be used to automate the search for top talent and speed up recruitment processes, but it has been noticed that automated software does not select candidates in a neutral way. Because AI is reliant on the data it is fed by humans, a lack of diverse teams and extensive testing can mean that AI&rsquo;s learning models perpetuate unconscious biases. &ldquo;81% of hiring managers have encountered challenges with bias and discrimination issues when using AI in the recruiting process.&rdquo;&nbsp; As women and ethnic minority talent are typically underrepresented in certain roles and sectors, AI poses a challenge to diversity and inclusion and will require an increasing amount of vigilance as its use continues to become standard practice in 2024.
6. SPEAK TO DEPARTING COLLEAGUES&nbsp; The current social media and review culture has made the management of employer branding more crucial than ever before. Dissatisfied candidates and employees may take to platforms like Instagram
and TikTok to share negative experiences, which could potentially impact the image and reputation of the company. According to Glassdoor, &ldquo;84% of job seekers find ratings and reviews crucial in deciding where to apply, highlighting the significant impact of poor reviews on talent attraction.&rdquo; Proactively engaging with departed employees and understanding friction points could potentially result in valuable insights that could improve retention and existing employees&rsquo; satisfaction while also minimising the negative feedback left by departing employees.&nbsp; 55% of the employees surveyed said they were not asked to attend an exit interview. Additionally, 38% were not asked for feedback after resigning from their last job.&nbsp; Reasons departing employees gave for leaving their roles Ineffective or toxic line management &nbsp;34.5% Lack of recognition 32.25% Negative company culture &nbsp;28.2% Toxic working environment &nbsp;27.7%
&nbsp; 7. RETURN TO WORK 81% of organisations are shifting away from remote work, with 30% of employees required to return to the physical workplace, and 51% encouraged to do so. Whilst some may say this is understandable, this shift is a potential pitfall for HR departments. &nbsp; For organisations with a blended workforce of remote, hybrid, and in-office employees, those who continue to work remotely may feel disconnected and receive less attention than their office-based counterparts. Unclear expectations can lead to reduced productivity, disengagement, and increased turnover. Consideration for this blended workforce is essential for a diverse and optimised workforce, and managers should focus on driving integration between remote workers and their onsite peers. HR departments and managers must find ways of blending workforces and pay consideration to individual circumstances in return-to-work situations, particularly during policymaking. &nbsp;
7. QUICK TURNAROUND A prolonged hiring process can slow down business and frustrate leaders and candidates, as experienced by 92% of businesses, who reported losing candidates due to lengthy processes in 2023.&nbsp; If the onboarding process has multiple rounds and there is procrastination between the stages, there is a significant risk that candidates will lose interest, resulting in the possibility of losing top talent to competitors. If the candidate decides to move elsewhere before completing the interview process, the procrastination would have resulted in significant amounts of time, effort, and budget being wasted.&nbsp;
&ldquo;To avoid slow approvals and secure your top candidates in 2024, hiring managers and candidates must maintain regular communication to ensure that everything possible is being done to secure top talent and prevent candidates from being left in recruitment limbo.&rdquo; said &Aacute;ine Fanning. &ldquo;This could include making approvals in advance to ensure the process is smooth for candidates and deliberation is minimised within the organisation.&rdquo;&nbsp; &amp;quot;48% of UK businesses admitted to losing out on talent due to procrastination on numerous occasions.&amp;quot;

Recruitment Resolutions, Considerations and Trends for 2024

BLOG &ndash; PREVENTNG AND OVERCOMING CANDIDATE GHOSTING
&nbsp;
Set the scene: The jobseeker&rsquo;s profile is perfect. When you meet with the candidate, the two of you click. Everything is rosy you&rsquo;re confident in your next hire.
&nbsp;
But since the interview, nothing, tumbleweed, you&rsquo;re scratching your head for any clue what&rsquo;s happened even though you&rsquo;ve sent several messages and even tried calling.
Welcome to the frustrating world of candidate ghosting.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Ghosting&rdquo; is a term many are familiar with due to the world of online dating, however being on the receiving end of the silent treatment from candidates is also unfortunately becoming a situation more and more recruiters and hiring managers alike are finding themselves in.
&nbsp;
According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.roberthalf.com.au/blog/employers/candidate-ghosting-nightmare-recruitment">a recent LinkedIn report</a>:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 95% of recruiters say they&rsquo;ve experienced ghosting
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2021/03/29/the-ghosting-trend-are-job-candidates-just-not-that-into-you/?sh=526d9628132e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">76% of employers say</a>&nbsp;they have been ghosted by candidates
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 40% (!!!) of candidates believe it&rsquo;s reasonable to ghost an employer, with 28% having actually done it
&nbsp;
So the first questions is WHY? &nbsp;Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research &amp; Advisory found:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 40% wanted more flexibility than employers were willing to provide
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 35% indicated the company took too long to extend them an offer
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 33% stated they had a poor interview experience with an employer
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 29% noted they simply got a better job offer from another business
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The company implemented a policy requiring employees to return to the office.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;Eubanks also found that
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 46% of candidates have ghosted an interview
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7% of candidates have failed to show up for their first day of work.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Besides this list, the changes in the job market has no doubt had it&rsquo;s part to play. Clients currently have 25% more open positions than 2019 with 25% few applications. This means if the candidate applying doesn&rsquo;t have all of their expectations met, they have plenty of other options out there for them.
&nbsp;
The good thing about these points is now that we know the causes of candidate ghosting, we can be proactive in the prevention.
&nbsp;
Here are some action points:
&nbsp;
Develop a Transparent Recruitment Strategy
Work with your team to clarify your business needs for each hire and be sure that you&rsquo;re keeping the candidates and the agency in the loop from the get-go. In order to manage expectations, tell them your expected timeline and give them an overview of what the interview process will look like. In addition to increasing the success of your recruitment efforts, this type of strategy can also help you tell your employer brand story in an authentic way that will minimise turnover.
&nbsp;
Keep Communication Open
When it comes to the interview process, everyone will agree: there&rsquo;s nothing worse than being left in the dark. Touch base with your agency and candidates early and often, letting them know when they can expect to hear from you and delivering on your promise to reach out.
&nbsp;
Focus on the Candidate and Their Experience
Many candidates are intimidated by the interview and recruitment process. To help them feel at ease, create a comfortable environment and have a conversation rather than firing questions,&nbsp;find out about who they are and their goals. It&rsquo;s a great way to build a strong relationship from the beginning.
&nbsp;
Make an Offer They Can&rsquo;t Refuse
Take into consideration salaries and benefits that are being offered by your competitors locally and nationally. In this market you don&rsquo;t have the luxury of starting low and negotiating higher. Bonuses, hybrid working, annual leave, private health care, maternity and paternity leave to name a few make a big difference.
&nbsp;
Use Alternative forms of Communication
Know candidates&rsquo; communications preferences and adjust your approach accordingly. Some candidates (mainly younger) don&rsquo;t check email often, and they are unlikely to take a phone call from an unknown number. If you&rsquo;re having trouble reaching interviewees, send them a text message instead.
&nbsp;
Craft Messages that Encourage a Response
Win interviewees back with persuasive language. Personalise the communication by mentioning what you admire about their skill set and how they&rsquo;d be a valuable addition to your team. There is nothing more off putting than a generic response, which makes the business look like they do not care. End the message with specific next steps, such as &ldquo;I&rsquo;d like to schedule a follow-up meeting for later this week to discuss the job offer and a possible start date.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
Be Flexible
Offer candidates flexible interview scheduling including evenings and weekend time slots. By accommodating candidates&rsquo; schedules, they may be more likely to move ahead in the process.
Virtual interviews are also a good option for busting some ghosts, even if your team has already returned to the office.&nbsp;45% of job seekers say being able to interview from anywhere is appealing, and 37% say they feel less intimidated at the prospect of interviewing remotely.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Ultimately, it&rsquo;s about putting yourself in a candidate&rsquo;s shoes. What would&nbsp;you&nbsp;want from a recruiter and hiring manager right now? What would make a business stand out from the competition, and make&nbsp;you&nbsp;want to move toward an offer? These engagement tactics are good next steps to help curb ghosting.
