Charismatic candidate and talent community emails

Delight and inform top talent with strategic nurture emails that aid self-selection (in and out) before the pang of reneges and no-shows

Positive candidate experiences can make or break your brand. Yet, ghosting remains high (surprisingly, so do renege rates, no-shows, and new hire turnover).

Here are some clipboard-breaking statistics to get you sitting up ‘n’ paying attention to your candidate communication:

  • 76% of job seekers said they would warn others * against * applying for a role after a poor candidate experience (LinkedIn poll)

  • 63% of job seekers will reject a job offer because of a bad candidate experience (G2)

  • Job applicants who don’t receive a job offer are 80% more likely to apply again if they had a positive candidate experience (G2)

  • A strong employer brand reduces turnover by 28% and cost per hire by 50% (G2)

  • Talent communities can be 34 times more effective than job boards in producing successful hires (PageUp)

What’s the single biggest contributor to a positive and negative candidate experience?

Communication.

Let’s turn those frowns upside down with charismatic candidate emails for your ATS

My speciality.

This is my strength. This is my gift to the world; making employers sound like fun humans you’d like to meet for coffee (and then dedicate the next ten years to).

I nerd out on candidate and employee experience research, stats and industry trends because I love it and well, I love running my red pen through archaic, hideously boring corporate jargon and colouring the page with sunshine and emojis 🌈

Here are few scrumptious options on offer:
