Uncovering Key Candidate Motivations On Your Phone Screens

Matt Hughes is Hired’s Head of Talent. For more from Matt and the rest of the team over at Hired, subscribe to their recruiting blog.

As soon as you get on the phone with a candidate, there’s a prescribed catalog of what you’re supposed to uncover. Comp expectations, reasons for taking the call, current responsibilities and their relevance to the open role, the list goes on. These tidbits are largely aimed at determining how close of a fit your candidate is, and whether they should continue to an onsite for future evaluation. While this is often the first box you have to check if you’re hoping to pull off a successful phone screen, it doesn’t tell the entire story, and you could be setting your team up for wasted time spent interviewing.

The talent market is more competitive than ever. In the past year, the U.S. unemployment rate went from 5.3 percent to 4.9 percent—and the number of employed individuals rose by nearly 60 thousand (Bureau of Labor Statistics). This is great news for the U.S. economy, however, it’s a challenge to talent acquisition professionals trying to convince happily employed people to make a change. Where to begin? Make sure you have an optimized, and healthy pipeline of candidates from the top of the funnel to the bottom. Here are six ways to optimize your outbound recruiting, to build sustainable sources of talent.

Taking a few steps back, we also want to provide recruiters, hiring managers, and talent acquisition professionals with helpful information on the evolution of CRMs, why they’re useful, and best practices for using them.

New eBook: Does Your HR Tech Stack Stack Up?

In the $15 billion dollar HR tech industry, new startups are constantly reinventing HR as we know it. It seems like there’s a new solution popping up practically every day. If you’re like us, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and pressured to keep up with the latest and greatest. After all, no one wants to stay stuck in the past or rely on outdated tools, especially when modern technology contributes to business success. And according to Josh Bersin, ten years ago might as well be the Stone Age.

“The types of technology used, the experiences they deliver, and the underlying designs are new. And even more importantly, the way we manage people in companies has changed, making many of the traditional HR systems purchased only a decade ago seem out of date.” - Josh Bersin, Bersin by Deloitte

Strengthen Your Talent Community With Personalization

Google “employer branding” and you’ll find an endless list of articles on the shift to a candidate-driven market and why it’s crucial to attracting top talent. What the articles won’t say: The impression you’re creating isn’t the end of the game. No amount of amazing marketing will make a product successful if the user experience doesn’t follow through. When I think about building a strong talent community, I think about personalizing the experience a potential candidate has with our interview process and within our company.
