We’re excited to announce that Trustcruit is now a part of Jobylon! The acquisition marks a big step in our journey towards making hiring more candidate-centric. Trustcruit specialises in survey tools and business analytics designed for Talent Acquisition and HR teams to gauge and benchmark candidate and employee experiences.

Every organization has an employer brand. However, not every company actively works to maintain it or is even aware of how their employees and candidates perceive them as an employer.

The retail industry is one of the largest hiring markets in the world. In fact, six in ten Americans have worked a retail job at some point in their lives, and nearly a third of all first jobs are in the retail sector.

Now more than ever, recruitment managers are facing unprecedented challenges. Not only is there a renewed demand for workers post-pandemic, but there’s also a labor shortage.

Candidate experience is an often overlooked but crucial aspect of attracting (and retaining!) talent. In fact, 80-90% of candidates say their candidate experience (either positive or negative) can change their minds about a company.

Have you ever heard the phrase “Just trust your gut”? In many instances, your immediate, natural instinct is an excellent way to make decisions. But some choices shouldn’t be made based on how you feel at that moment – and recruitment is one of them.

Unfortunately for recruiters, we’re in the midst of an unprecedented labor shortage. As such, the importance of providing a first-rate candidate experience has never been so crucial. Competition between organizations to hire high-quality talent across a variety of roles is fierce, and the candidate experience is one way you can strengthen your employer brand and set yourself apart from other companies.

When we talk about employer branding and candidate experience, we can’t fail to speak about inclusive hiring. Gender-neutrality in the hiring process has been a hot topic of conversation over the decades – and for a good reason. It’s imperative companies strive to achieve equality within their hiring techniques and HR procedures.

HR Analytics haven’t gotten the attention it deserves. We’re going to explain how you can change that.

For the uninitiated, your employer brand is how your company is perceived by potential recruits and your current employees. Needless to say, the strength of your employer brand can influence the quality of talent you attract and how much passion and loyalty employees bring to the table.
