Candidate Fit - Strategies for effective Talent Acquisition
It’s a well-known fact that bad hires are a costly affair. According to one research, the cost is as high as five times the annual salary of the individual. While there may be a number of reason why a candidate leaves – including lack of clarity, misaligned expectations and lack of candidate fit, being able to assess a candidate holistically will be critical to recruitment.
Emerging technologies are now making it possible for recruiters to go beyond assessing just job-related skills.
