Prompt A.
LinkedIn allows recruiters to search for is based on skill, experience, and background. It also
helps connect those not actively looking for work but open to new opportunities. It also has an
advanced search and a vast personal outreach to increase the likelihood of stronger candidates
due to the large candidate pool (Bruno, 2020).
Industry-Specific Job Boards
Job boards are suitable for those looking for a specifically qualified candidate. Instead of
having a large candidate pool to produce strong candidates, you are weeding out selectively to a
small group to produce a strong candidate. Job boards may connect recruiters with experienced
professionals faster than using LinkedIn due to its targeted nature.
Prompt B.
Active Listening and Personalized Response
Active listening is a crucial part of a recruiter's job in order to ensure effective and clear
communication with the applicant (Bruno, 2020). By listening, we can acknowledge the
candidate's career goals and concerns to help build trust and show that the company values
them. Being personal makes the candidate feel heard and engaged, leading to a better
experience.
Timely and Transparent Updates
Keeping candidates informed with regular updates about their application status helps
build trust and may deter them from accepting other job offers. Recruiters should focus on clear
next steps and timelines to prevent frustration and uncertainty. Even when there are no updates,
contacting the candidate for check-ins is good practice.
