Hakon is just as passionate about candidates as me… and in this weeks episode we geek it all out in a bouncy full on conversation addressing this very topic…. WHY it is NOT cool to just write up a job spec and wait for people to apply.
We talk about the process behind recruiting and what it looks like in a successful business and how the old – "You are not quite right in terms of culture fit" feedback should be thrown to the bottom of a black hole!
Listen intently as Hakon describes his own processes at Capdesk and just how polished they are – you will be enlightened by his drive, passion and advocacy for the candidate journey..... right from the moment the candidates can even say the words I want to work in Capdesk they will be enthralled by the journey!
