Episode 49: Creating a Better Candidate Experience with Christy Harper at Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.
On this episode, host Ryan Dull is joined by Christy Harper, Director of Talent Acquisition at Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc.
To help organizations build a better candidate experience, Christy has some core ideas that she tries to encourage businesses to adopt:
Each department should have a clearly defined role in the hiring and onboarding process.
HR leaders should focus on bringing value to the whole organization, not just their own department or position.
A more centralized and structured hiring process provides a more meaningful candidate experience.
A better experience for recruiters often translates into a better experience for candidates.
Involving current employees in the talent acquisition process leads to a more committed workforce and better team cohesion.
Harmonize HR metrics with broader organizational metrics to ensure business functions are aligned.
Take efforts to facilitate clear communication between HR and the departments they hire for.
With these principles undergirding her efforts, Christy is creating a more inviting candidate experience and bringing out the best in a vast talent pool.
