One of the key pillars of great recruiting is the phone. It’s impossible to find and place talent if you’re not constantly calling and talking to people.
There was a time where a phone call guaranteed a contact, but let’s face it: those days are long gone. In today’s digital world, you can’t expect an answer or even a call back from a candidate. So the challenge for recruiters is reaching people when we can’t rely on the phone anymore.
To compound the issue, now that everyone has flocked to digital communication, it’s also hard to cut through the noise of a crowded inbox.
How do we connect with candidates with all these barriers? Is technology the enemy or could it be the key to increasing our contact rates?
The recruiters we featured on this show are all facing these issues, and they’ve come up with their own unique strategies for winning the contact battle. From focusing more on conversations than contacts to automating part of the recruiting process, we can still cut through the noise, reach candidates, and get them hired.
In this special episode, we revisit and highlight 5 Talent Hunters guests who shared how they are combating low contact rates and maintaining the human touch in a digital landscape.
