"Almost half (49%) of UK candidates have a negative perception
of an organisation following an unsuccessful job application,
according to research by talent assessment solutions provider
SHL.
The research, which questioned 1,600 UK adults, found that 24%
of respondents had had two or three bad experiences in the past and
6% as many as four or five, while 18% of respondents who had been
through a bad recruitment experience had stopped doing business
with the company as a direct result.
A further survey by SHL of 500 UK recruitment professionals
shows that 25% of recruiters say they are overstretched as a result
of increased job applications and of these, 19% say they are now
unable to let candidates know when they have received their
application.
The survey also shows that 17% don't provide detailed feedback to
interviewed candidates and 15% can't let candidates know if they
have not been successful after an initial application."
