Shunned jobseekers turn into brand bashers

Posted by Phil Voice on October 4, 2013 at 7:31pm in Careers

This is a (very) old article but it might be of interest - I wonder if the sentiment still applies?

  • One in four has been badly treated by a prospective employer
  • 53% of job seekers will not purchase products and services if they have been badly treated
  • 55% tell at least three people about their bad experience

Poor recruitment practices are damaging brands, turning off potential employees and losing customers that ís according to new research.

The study by Capital Consulting indicates that companies are not handling the recruitment process as well as they could, with one in four (23%) job seekers saying they have been badly treated when applying for a job.

    applying to a business for employment is about as personal as a relationship between a non emp;loyee and a business can get.

    a place i used to work for never replied to applications unless they wanted to interview someone (smallish business getting larege numbers of applications) sometimes applicants would ring in and harangue the manager for the lack of response. He the eventually wrote a 'thank you for your interest but' letter, however, i'm sure they alienated a few of their customers on the way.

    fortunately i have yet to have a customer apply for a job with me......
