From 'Ghosted' to 'Hired': Reviving Cold Candidates in Record Time


Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling when a promising candidate slips through your fingers? In the fast-paced world of healthcare recruitment, every second counts. Today, I'm thrilled to share a game-changing success story that will revolutionize your approach to talent acquisition.


The Silent Killer of Recruitment: Slow Follow-up

Picture this: You've just wrapped up a bustling job fair. Your team is buzzing with excitement about the stellar candidates they've met. But as days turn into weeks, those hot leads grow cold, and your dream hires vanish into thin air. Sound familiar?


This was the exact predicament faced by one of our healthcare clients. Despite their best efforts, they were losing top talent due to prolonged follow-up times. In an industry where skilled professionals are in high demand, this was more than just a minor setback—it was a critical issue threatening their ability to provide quality care.


Enter CandidateHub: The Reengagement Revolution

Here's where the magic happened. By implementing CandidateHub's innovative approach to candidate re-engagement, we didn't just solve the problem—we obliterated it.

Our strategy included:


  • A QR code in the booth that took candidates to a simple form for them to complete
  • Automated, personalized follow-up sequences
  • Real-time analytics for recruiters to follow up with candidates who engaged in the process
  • Mobile-first communication tools for on-the-go recruiters


The Results? Nothing Short of Spectacular

🎉 Drum roll, please! Our client experienced an astounding 85% decrease in follow-up time. But that's not all:

  • 1000% increase in candidate response rates
  • Rave reviews from Candidates as "such an easy process"
  • 95% recruiter satisfaction with the new process

One recruiter exclaimed, "CandidateHub is a lifesaver.  The amount of time it saves us is astronomical!"


The Ripple Effect: Beyond Just Hiring

This transformation didn't just impact recruitment metrics. It created a positive ripple effect throughout the organization:

  • Improved employer brand as candidates raved about the swift, professional follow-up
  • Reduced time-to-fill for critical positions, directly impacting patient care quality
  • Significant cost savings by maximizing the ROI of recruitment events


Your Turn: Stop Losing Top Talent Today
