How the candidate market is changing
In the current employment market, employers need to take every opportunity to capture the interest of candidates.
Talent Attraction Lab portal enables hirers to maximise their chance of capturing the moving candidate market through informed data and insights. For some hard-to-fill roles, the best way to attract candidates is to show that you understand what's important to them. For example, while senior IT workers list salary and work-life balance as top priorities, many of them consider the ability to work from home a must-have. This information can be crucial in attracting the right person to your business.
Leveraging the Talent Attraction Lab data
Before starting candidate conversations, tap into the portal to understand what candidates are likely to want in their next role. With this knowledge, you can reflect on how your organisation aligns with their priorities and effectively discuss these points with candidates, leading to more positive and impactful conversations.
During the engagement phase, it's crucial to delve into the data to understand the key drivers for candidates. For example, if discussing corporate social responsibility, tailor your conversation to make it meaningful and relevant to your specific candidate market. The data in the portal provides valuable insights for you to leverage.
Dig deep into the data
The data in Talent Attraction Lab portal goes beyond specific industries. You can filter it to discover what drives candidates from specific generations, gender and levels of seniority. This knowledge can be used during your conversations to show that you understand candidates as individuals and that your organisation is designed to fit their needs.
For example, Talent Attraction Lab data shows that Malaysian Baby Boomers value working environment and location over career opportunities or job security. Similarly, Malaysian Gen-Z candidates view working environment as more important than job security or market position. It's crucial to understand these drivers and use this knowledge in conversations with specific candidate groups.
To remain competitive, a deep understanding of candidates can make the difference between attracting top talent or losing out to another employment. The valuable insights in Talent Attraction Lab portal can help you to build meaningful conversations with candidates and support your successful recruitment strategy.
