With just a couple of weeks to go until the release of our project "A Guide to DEI in Contingent Workforce Planning" we thought we would come onto LinkedIn to talk about some of the solutions discussed in the guide: 1. Expand Outreach: Actively engage with diverse communities and use a wider range of recruitment channels to enhance the inclusivity of talent pools. 2. Training and Awareness: Provide in house training on unconscious biases and encourage a culture of inclusivity among hiring managers. 3. Equal Treatment: Ensure there is equality surrounding compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities for contingent workforces. 4. Data-Driven Approach: Regularly analyse hiring metrics of the entire company, including the contingent workforce, to identify disparities and implement ways of improvement.

Compromising candidate experience compromises your customer experience Candidate experience cuts across so many touchpoints in the recruitment journey & Talent Acquisition / recruitment is typically the guardian of many of these touch points. Unfortunately our TA teams are generally one of the first to be negatively impacted when the market softens. ☠️ & right now the key team bearing the bulk of responsibility for candidate experience are operating on a skeleton staff & having to do recruitment in an increasingly constrained environment. Steve Gard the industry custodian of all things candidate experience has said prioritising ‘personal connection’ is one of the key elements which make a difference in the candidate recruitment experience & helping convert a candidate to accepting a job offer.  🔢In a recent poll by his company Benchmarcx, it was found 50% of people said the pivotal thing that was the final deciding factor in accepting their current or last role was "the way they made me feel” - this even surpassed salary. ⚡️The recent surge in job applications isn’t helping, instead putting further pressure on already strapped internal TA teams. 🤯 A TA friend told me she had 610 applicants for a role recently ?!? With these crazy numbers where are our TA guys to find the extra time ⏱️ that’s required to provide the ‘love’ ❤️ & personal connection 🥰 needed to get the best people across the line. With these conditions is it really any wonder candidate experience & therefore customer experience is being compromised 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🔐From my own experience working in internal TA, high application volumes just gives a false sense of security. ❎ They rarely lead to a quality shortlist. All they do, is redirect the recruiters effort & time to trawling through hoards of unsuitable applications, allowing for less time to proactively source & engage with the most qualified candidates & unable to prioritize the personal connection needed to make people feel valued. 🖤 Right now candidates are certainty not feeling the love, in part because we aren’t prioritising resources to support their journey 🌤️ This market is temporary, just like seasons, things will soon change & when things pick up, what your candidates aka customers will remember is how you made them feel. Will you be remembered fondly ☀️🌈 or 🌪️🌨️ #candidateexperience #candidatecare #talentacquisition #customerexperience #personalconnection #candidate101

Ready to expand your TA team? Are you considering contract or perm, or maybe an embedded solution? Connect with TA4TA and we can help you curate the right opportunity for the market - and we don’t charge a fee. We have seen lots of false starts recently, so why not arrange a 15 minute call or drop us a note to bounce some ideas around. Even to confirm you are on the right path, or have the right salary range. TA4TA was created because TA professionals often receive the worst candidate experience - which is ironic as they dedicate their careers to helping candidates and organisations promote their brand. It’s time to give a little back, and support TA Pro’s with an experience they deserve. If you want to meet in person, come and see us at 🎪 RecFest 🎪 , or book in a quick call using the link in the comments. #TA4TA #RecFestUK #TalentAcquisition #Careers #CandidateExperience

Think about a community of 25,000 technologists in India that they can access to promote your vacancies! Combine that with our specialist CC/CX experience and the soon to be launched unique CX sector training platform and you have an unbeatable talent pipeline in India! So, if you've asked before and I said I couldn't help, ask me again. If we've never spoken about hiring in India but you're interested to hear more details then contact me.
