The 2024 REC Awards honoured exceptional accomplishments within the recruitment industry, showcasing professionals who are genuinely impacting the field. Among the recipients, I, Jodie, was thrilled to receive the 'Best Candidate Experience' award for the third time in my career. Since founding Rafferty Resourcing, I have been dedicated to enhancing candidate interactions, and nearly a decade later, it continues to be my top priority.
The Significance of Candidate Experience
In today’s job market, where competition is tougher than ever, creating a positive candidate experience is more important than you might think. Did you know that companies that excel in this area can boost their hiring rates by an impressive 70%? When organisations genuinely focus on the candidate experience, they not only attract top-tier talent but also foster greater satisfaction among applicants.
As someone who is passionate about recruitment, I don’t just aim for excellence; I strive to make a meaningful difference. I’m committed to setting a new standard for what candidates should expect during their journey, ensuring they feel valued and understood every step of the way.
