Candidate-Centric Recruiting

Meaning & Definition 

The Candidate-Centric Recruiting model is an overall hiring method that focuses primarily on the candidate’s experience, needs and convenience as it relates to the recruitment process. For example, in HR/Talent Acquisition, Candidate-Centric Recruiting utilizes methods such as open communication throughout the recruiting process, creating an easy to navigate application process, and treating candidates with respect during the recruiting process, in order to attract, engage, and convert quality candidates.

Hiring Experience Highlights

• Enhances company brand by providing a transparent, respectful experience to all candidates throughout the recruiting process.
• Improves acceptance rate of offers by establishing trust and clarity early in the recruiting process.
