As a recruiter you know exactly the information you need from your client to start searching for the right people.<\/p>\n

But what does your candidate want to know? Not just about the role itself but about the wider business?<\/p>\n

In our article below we\u2019ve identified a number of things that candidates want to know about your client.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s on offer?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Of course any candidate will want to know exactly what\u2019s on the table!<\/p>\n

Is there flexibility around the salary? What other benefits are available? What career progression is there for the right person and over what timescale?<\/p>\n

Not just that, but what is the back story to this position? Is it newly created or a replacement?<\/p>\n

What is their policy on flexible working?<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is absolutely no doubt that the working world has changed considerably since 2020!<\/p>\n

Flexible working and the opportunity to work from home are now key considerations for many candidates.<\/p>\n

In fact, research showed that<\/a>, following the pandemic, half of employees said they would quit if they were not able to continue working flexibly.<\/p>\n

What is the culture like within the business?<\/b><\/h3>\n

When you start working with your client, you immediately start to get a feel for how they like to work and an idea of how the company operates.<\/p>\n

Company culture is becoming increasingly important<\/a> as businesses scramble to attract the top talent.<\/p>\n

Finding out the background of relevant professionals within the company will help you understand any patterns in the type of people that they hire, too.<\/p>\n

What are the expectations for the individual in this role?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Candidates can learn a lot about a role, and whether or not they\u2019re truly interested, by understanding exactly what the expectations are from the business.<\/p>\n

What would they like to see achieved within months of employment from this individual and what will their long term targets be?<\/p>\n

This can help candidates identify any red flags that might make them unsuitable for the role, or make them even more excited about the opportunity.<\/p>\n

What are they not looking for?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Being honest and open is a skill that candidates are always looking for in their recruiter, but you know that!<\/p>\n

Explaining to the candidate what the client definitely isn\u2019t looking for, helps you build trust and shows that you deeply understand the position you\u2019re hiring for.<\/p>\n

It also helps the candidate assess whether they have the right experience, and identify areas they might need training for in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
