75% of Job Applicants Do Not Hear Back From Employers
Are you one of those employers who have posted a job only to let candidates think their resume has fallen into a black hole? Do you want to foster a reputation of a company that doesn’t care about its applicants? Most people who apply for a position but never hear back (even if it’s a simple auto respond email) will be less likely to apply to that company again and will share that bad experience with friends. 82% of applicants expect to hear back after they have submitted an application.
How does this impact your company brand if your products or services are purchased by consumers? Almost 1/3 of applicants that do not hear back from a company will not purchase their product or service in the future.
Your brand as an employer is directly tied to your brand in the market place. From the minute you post a job opening you are representing your company’s brand. Just like customer service, applicants need to be informed of the process and timeline for hiring. Treat your job posting as part of your brand!
