What makes an informed candidate? Employers are specifically looking for candidates who are \u201cprepared for their interview and ask pertinent questions\u201d and \u201cknowledgeable about the organisation\u2019s culture and values.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news: any candidate can become an informed candidate. And you can use your relationship with the client to prepare the candidate appropriately. It\u2019s a win-win scenario. If your candidate fully understands the culture of the company and the requirements of the role, she will do better at the interview and she can self-eliminate early if she determines the company isn\u2019t a good fit. Less wasted time means your candidates have a better experience even if it doesn\u2019t result in a placement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Candidate acquisition is a top priority for you AND for your clients<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">43 percent of staffing professionals cited candidate acquisition as a top priority in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/resources\/2018-uk-recruitment-trends-report\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog_UK&amp;LA=2018_Trends_Survey_Report_UK&amp;LAD=2018_Trends_Survey_Report_UK&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 UK Recruitment Trends Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, making it the third-ranked priority overall. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But a whopping 76 percent of hiring decision-makers say attracting quality candidates is their biggest challenge.
