Call them back!
If you’re at the start of the hiring process with a new, exciting potential candidate they will likely forget your initial call or conversation.
It’s super frustrating.
I get it.
Sometimes it feels like these people are sleepwalking through life.
But it’s weird.
Because they seemed enthusiastic and keen when you first spoke with them, right. But you left it a few weeks and now that enthusiasm has gone.
That’s the problem with not having regular contact with potential candidates.
Tens of thousands just slip through the cracks.
The real problem is that emotions pass like waves.
They swell, break, crush, then disappear. Gone as quickly as they came.
So, one day we can feel intensely about something.
Then a week or two later, we forget all about it.
(It’s a bit like feeling ashamed for pigging out one weekend and telling yourself that this won’t happen again…. Then next weekend it’s a friend’s birthday and you’re happily helping yourself to cake and ice cream.)
That’s why it’s critical to keep the communication going throughout the ENTIRE hiring process, so you’re only talking to piping hot candidates…
You know the kind I’m talking about.
Candidates are hotter than the sweet-smelling apple pie straight from the oven you can’t wait to take a bite out of.
Don’t let those candidates getaway…
Reach out, touch base, drop an email, leave that voicemail…
Just make sure the communication is flowing at your end and keep their enthusiasm going.
