One of the significant challenges faced by most search and staffing organizations is effectively supporting the multitude of candidates who do not secure a new role. It is not uncommon for these organizations to submit 8 to 10 candidates for a single position. Unfortunately, in many instances, those who are not selected are left unaware of their status, contributing to a prevalent issue known as "ghosting" within the industry. Given the current scarcity of qualified candidates, a lack of engagement in this process could result in a diminished pool of potential candidates in the future.
This trend of ghosting not only impacts the immediate candidate experience but also risks negative word-of-mouth, substantially reducing a company's overall candidate pool. MyHuntPath offers a collaborative solution for search and staffing organizations, aiming to support all candidates, particularly those not selected, by providing resources such as discounted access to our online career education platform, sponsored podcasts, and a range of tailored solutions. These initiatives are designed to elevate the candidate experience, fostering lasting relationships—a crucial factor for the growth of search and staffing companies in a global economy where candidate resources are limited.
