HR and Talent professionals know that their recruitment process needs to be easy to navigate. If your application, interview and assessment process is cumbersome, lengthy, or poorly managed, candidates will quickly become frustrated and move on.
This ease of process is critical to making space for a meaningful two-way dialogue with great people. For those of you working towards a more straightforward and simplified recruitment process that will positively impact the candidate experience, take a look at this infographic SAP has developed to help prospective talent understand their hiring process.
The SAP infographic offers candidates practical advice on how to prepare to interview with the enterprise software giant. They also clearly lay out what to expect during the process using plain language.
You may be thinking – plenty of organizations have this kind of information available, what’s unique about it? Beyond the text and the procedural information included, the SAP employee value proposition shines through on this microsite.
Keeping It Real
SAP speaks to candidates like real people! They acknowledge the realities that job seekers are facing and try to make the experience as painless as they can. With a conversational tone, SAP offers insight into their values and indications of what they want to see in a candidate without being patronizing.
Honesty
SAP doesn’t claim to have the fastest recruitment process in town. In fact, they advise candidates that several rounds of interviews and a healthy dose of patience will be required. How refreshing!
Building a Talent Community
SAP understands that today’s talent attraction is about building long term relationships with great people. Candidates are encouraged to keep trying if they don’t get hired the first time they apply and the overall messaging demonstrates a genuine desire to partner with people and help them get hired.
