How does candidate feedback inform/refine your recruiting process?
Classy Llama’s candidate feedback process has allowed us to actively capitalize on the needs and preferences within our target population such as simplifying our terminology and language to paint a better picture of our open positions, especially for the very technical roles. We identify these areas of improvement by capturing the candidate experience in feedback surveys that aggregate data and information in a way that allows us to pinpoint common inefficiencies and deficiencies within our process. Our quarterly discussions about the key performance indicators pertaining to people related processes are where we’re able to bring this valuable feedback to the table in order to outline priorities for process improvement moving forward. If we’re experiencing challenges such as the speed of the recruiting process, candidate feedback may potentially identify where the chokepoint exists.

In addition to our active presence on social media which incorporates content about our open roles, we have created an intersection between recruiting and employer branding through a unique and organic ambassador program. By encouraging our team members to produce content about the Llama experience which includes the culture, community, perks, and benefits of being a Llama, we are constantly creating a pipeline within their networks as well as a frontline screening process. When a new role becomes available, we’re able to leverage the team members who have generated interest in our brand by activating the candidate referral program embedded within the ambassador initiative. This incentivizes them to communicate these open roles to their networks while subsequently rewarding them for their qualified connections seeking to interview with the company. The cultural alignment between our company and our team members through the ambassador program ensures that the prospective candidates that they refer consist of only those that the team members know would fit well on the team and vice versa.
