Things hiring managers should know about the candidate experience

Authenticity is a two-way street. A candidate may be presenting their authentic self at an interview, while simultaneously feeling the pressure of what recruiters want to hear from them. But do recruiters have the candidate’s best interest at heart? Are they keeping things from the candidate?

Naturally, candidates want to know as much as possible about the job and the company, and the authenticity of how these are presented is crucial. To quell doubts in the minds of candidates, trust and communication must be fostered.

Clear, frequent, and immediate communication can help in open communication. The further the communication proceeds, the more willing both parties will be open up to frank conversation and building a relationship.
