DAY 1 1:30pm
Making Every Employee a Sourcer
Why go to market when you’re sitting on a sourcing gold mine – your current employees? Claire will share with you the results of Australia Post’s massively successful Employee Referral Program they created for seasonal peak hiring.
When you’re dealing with loved ones of existing employees the stakes are high on providing an exceptional candidate experience and a fair merit-based process. Claire will share the process and tech she used and how it enabled the human interaction to change from a screening call to an engagement call, shifting the focus from employer needs met to candidate needs met.
The benefits are endless – reduced recruiter fatigue, higher quality candidates, hiring manager feedback and increased candidate engagement.
Lastly, hear about their transition from candidate rejection to candidate redirection where candidates were matched with other opportunities in the business providing a wining outcome for everyone.
