“I want to find jobs located near my house. I need
to know where the jobs are actually located and
not just the city.”
“I filter out any jobs that don’t have salary data”
“Some of these application processes are insane!
I’m looking for jobs on my lunch break and from
my phone. I don’t apply to any jobs that make me
log in to another system.”
What do these statements have in common?

16. Objection and Answer

“My recruiters don’t have TIME to screen all those candidates.”
“We have to be COMPLIANT with …. (insert regulation here)”
“If they don’t want to complete our long application process
then we don’t want them!”
Reconsider what information you HAVE
to HAVE to consider an applicant.
Screen candidates after they have applied
with automated engagement emails.
23. If you have poor recruiting processes, your jobs may now not
even be SEEN by candidates

As algorithms evolve for search and recs, candidates preferences will
increasingly impact ranking.
