In an online survey we conducted, almost 70% of people who have recently switched jobs said that they were not satisfied with the document submission process in the new company they joined. It’s safe to say that most companies are not creating the best first impression with their new employees in their onboarding experience.
Make the first step an easy one
The best engineering and management talent today are spoilt for choices. While most companies are trying to outbid one another, the smarter ones are taking a more nuanced approach. Like simplifying document submissions. A friction-free first step helps a great deal in ensuring that the candidate picks you over an organisation that makes them sweat in bureaucratic processes.
The 2020 CandE report shows that a good candidate experience is the number one focus for the recruiters in North America, EMEA, and APAC. This helps in two important ways. First, it improves offer conversions significantly. Second, it ensures that people join the company with positive vibes.
