Recruiting the top talent isn't easy. But imagine, you've been through the process and found an ideal candidate and they accept your job offer only to change their mind and withdraw before they start with your company. You have to start the recruitment process again! Follow these tips to help minimise the risk of candidate withdrawals.

1. Shorten the
hiring cycle
Simplify the
process
Pay their worth

Listen to the
candidates
Plan the process well and coordinate
diaries to ensure the cycle is short,
concise and clear.
The less time it takes for candidates
to move through the process,
the less likely they are to receive
other job offers or opportunities.
Ensure the process is slick and easy for
the candidate to manoeuvre through.
A process with mishaps and complications
may deter candidates from progressing.
It can be tempting to concentrate
on the benefits of working for the
company that the factors that are
important to the candidate are not
heard. Establish their pull factors
and what is important to them.
You won't recruit the best, if you
pay the least. Trying to save money
by paying a smaller salary may cost
you more in the long term.
Do your market research and ensure
your pay rates are competitive.
An obvious one, but easy to forget when they're out of sight. Before their
first day make them feel part of the team. Invite them for a tour of the
locations, to meet senior staff and keep them in the loop.
Value them from the beginning.
