Frequently asked questions

Have any questions about candidate attraction? Here are answers to some of the most common queries.
What is the goal of Candidate Attraction?
The goal of candidate attraction is to build a talent pipeline of qualified candidates in advance of actual job openings, so that when a position needs to be filled, the hiring process is quicker and more efficient. The ultimate goal is to start a relationship with potential employees, and provide them with a good understanding of the organisation and role so they are excited and motivated to apply.
Candidate attraction is a proactive and targeted activity which is focused on engaging candidates, educating and informing them about your opportunities and converting them to the application stage. Recruiting is a more general term which refers to the broader process including assessment, selection, offer management and on-boarding.

There are multiple channels for organisations to use to attract their candidates. Social recruiting is becoming a more preferred channel. Industry specific platforms such as Bright Network provide a readymade community, and events/networking are still a firm favourite.

Understand your audience. Be honest and transparent about salary and challenges. Focus on ED&I and showcase how you support individuals from underrepresented groups. Give clear and detailed information on the recruitment process, expected timeframes, and consider giving personalised feedback.

Failing to craft social posts/job descriptions carefully. Using jargon. Avoiding challenging themselves on required skills. Not making it clear “what’s in it for them”. Long-winded processes (recommended no more than 3-4 stages). Not being honest.

The candidate attraction funnel is a step-by-step model that illustrates how employers guide potential applicants from initial awareness to job application. The funnel typically includes stages such as awareness, interest, consideration, and application.

Assess alignment across three key areas: skills and experience, cultural fit, and long-term potential. This can be evaluated through structured interviews, skills assessments, and behavioural questions.

Attracting top talent is important because it directly impacts an organisation’s performance, innovation, and growth. High-quality candidates bring valuable skills, boost productivity, and contribute to long-term success.
