Recruitment Scan: Evaluating your hiring process
First impressions are crucial in the recruitment industry. When potential candidates or clients first interact with you — whether through your website or over the phone — these initial touchpoints significantly influence their decision to engage with your services and recommend you to others.
In today’s highly competitive recruitment landscape, delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining best practices has become more critical than ever.
