Candidate Experience Starts with Managing Expectations
A lot of people think Uber disrupted taxis with technology. I believe they disrupted the market by managing expectations. The thing we like about Uber is we can see exactly where the car is while we’re waiting and exactly where we are while we’re riding in it. Do you confirm the receipt of someone’s application? Do you tell them when it’s being looked at? Can you give them an idea of when someone will contact them? Do you let them know when they don’t make the cut? Do you give them updates on delays such as the hiring manager is on the road and won’t be interviewing for three weeks or the job’s been put on hold?
