In this episode, Charlotte and Fleur explore how the fear of losing candidates has made many companies strip down application processes to the bare minimum.
Over the past decade, job applications have become simpler and faster, with companies shifting from detailed CV and cover letter requirements to one-click application options. But has this improved the candidate experience?
In this episode, you’ll find out
- Why organisations assumed “shorter is better” for the candidate experience.
- The three biggest frustrations candidates face in hiring processes.
- How DHL transformed their hiring with structured assessments.
- Why better insights, not fewer steps, create a great candidate experience
Candidates don’t necessarily want the fastest process—they want to feel valued and assessed fairly.
We also tackle the recruiter’s perspective, including how mass applications from AI-powered tools are increasing ghosting rates, making hiring more difficult. Instead of simply collecting more applications, companies should focus on better-qualified candidates who are genuinely interested.
