4 Reasons Why a Candidate will Choose your Organisation
Employers are facing a hidden war on talent, with employers coming up with innovative strategies to stand out to candidates
So how can your organisation stand-out to candidates? The modern recruitment process needs to list not only the technical and soft skills required for the position, but also (and potentially more importantly) you need to communicate why your company is an attractive proposition to the candidate.
To remain competitive and ensure you are attracting and retaining the best talent, it is crucial for companies to fine tune their Employer Value Proposition (EVP). It’s the “What’s in it For Me” from an employee perspective – see the graphic below to explore the four areas of an EVP.
Follow these simple steps below to create your perfect EVP.
Step 1 Choose your goals:
Decide what you want to achieve. What are your organisations core values? For example, a company focussed on health might consider gym memberships as a benefit.
Step 2: Analyse your current EVP offering
Conduct a simple survey that asks what employees currently value and what they would benefit from. Analyse your responses to the survey. For example, older people with families may prefer more work-life balance. Younger people may prefer memberships.
Step 3: Compare your EVP with the competition
You must remain competitive to keep your talent. Check out your competitors EVP and top it, or at least match it.
Step 4: Promote your EVP
Now you have your EVP offering, it is vital to let everyone know about it. Ensure it is on all your recruitment material, careers pages and internal communications so everyone understands and can talk to what makes your companies different. This is equally as important for both prospective employees but also existing employees to understand.
