We recently sent out a poll on LinkedIn to see what you think.... Steve at TemplePM has had many conversations with candidates where it's a make-or-break factor. Some crave the prestige of 'Senior' or 'Manager' titles for validation, whilst others prioritise compensation over labels. Consider a position without managerial responsibilities—earning £50k could signify senior-level pay, regardless of the title. What motivates you the most? You shared your thoughts and the results are in. 1% of you believed that your job title matters most. Whereas 59% felt that your salary is the priority. Almost not surprisingly, 40% of those responding said it was actually a mix of both that mattered most. These results were from 325 votes collected on LinkedIn. Despite the majority confirming what most of us already know, our economy has left us all in a position to make the most from a new role, as long as the price is right!

The Job Advertisement: Your First Impression Your job advert is often the first interaction a potential employee has with your company. It's crucial that this advert not only outlines the role but also reflects your company's culture and values. Is your advert clear, engaging, and devoid of jargon that might deter qualified candidates? Does it convey what makes your company unique? Job Description: Setting the Stage A well-crafted job description does more than list responsibilities; it communicates expectations and paints a picture of what success looks like in the role. Is your JD inviting, or does it resemble a daunting list of demands? Does it reflect modern job roles that might involve cross-functional teamwork or hybrid work environments? Interview Response Time: The Waiting Game Candidate experience is significantly influenced by how quickly and effectively you communicate. Long wait times between application and response can signal disorganisation or lack of interest in candidates. How responsive is your team? Are candidates kept in the loop about their application status? The Interview: A Two-Way Street The interview process is where candidates gauge if they fit culturally and professionally with your company. But it's also where candidates assess you. Is your interview process smooth, respectful, and insightful? Do you provide feedback, even for those not selected? Reflecting on Your Process After candidates interact with your recruitment process, do you ever seek their feedback? This can be an invaluable source of insight into how your process is perceived and where improvements can be made. Conclusion Your recruitment process is a mirror held up to your company's ethos. In a landscape where top talent has options, ensuring your process is as polished as your product or service can make all the difference.
