The Power of Feedback: Building Lasting Relationships in Professional Recruitment

Authored by: Brooke Oberle

The difference between securing top talent (or that right-fit opportunity) and missing out often comes down to one simple but critical element: feedback. At The ELTA Group, we’ve witnessed firsthand how immediate, meaningful feedback creates successful outcomes for our clients and candidates. In this article, we’ll explore why feedback is crucial to effective recruitment and how it benefits everyone involved in the hiring process.

For Clients: Transforming Your Hiring Process

Engage Top Talent Effectively

In a competitive market where candidates are often fielding multiple opportunities, immediate feedback serves as a really powerful differentiator. When you provide timely responses after interviews, you demonstrate respect for the candidates’ time. This engagement shows top talent that you value clear communication and professional relationships – qualities that resonate strongly with high-caliber candidates.

More than just an act of courtesy, prompt feedback creates a positive impression on the organization as a whole. We’ve observed that clients who are consistent in providing quick, thoughtful feedback typically see higher acceptance rates from their preferred candidates. This approach to quick, concise feedback helps to build trust in your organization before a candidate even joins your team.

Accelerate the Hiring Process

Did you know the most qualified candidates typically remain available for just days, not weeks?

Immediate feedback throughout the hiring process helps to prevent costly delays that could ultimately lead to losing exceptional talent to competitors. When feedback flows, decisions can be made with confidence. This efficiency helps our clients secure top candidates while also reducing the risk of counter-offers and competing opportunities drawing candidates away. Reduce your time-to-hire by providing timely feedback.

Optimize Candidate Matches

When clients share their insights about why candidates do or don’t match their requirements, we can immediately adjust our search criteria and better align subsequent candidates with your needs. This process ensures that each candidate presented by The ELTA Group is increasingly well-matched to your company’s culture and requirements.

For Candidates: Elevating Your Career Journey

Stay Informed & Confident

Uncertainty can be one of the most challenging aspects of the job search. Our most successful candidate placements maintain confidence and motivation by communicating clearly and often throughout their career journey. Communicating where you stand allows you to make informed decisions about your job search and career goals.

Through regular communication, The ELTA Group can help you understand how your skills and experience are perceived in the market so that you can focus your energy on opportunities where you’re most likely to succeed. This clarity is vital to staying positive and motivated during your job search.

Secure Opportunities Faster

In the dynamic job market, timing is critical to securing your best-fit career opportunity. Immediate feedback can help to accelerate your job search by reducing waiting periods and allowing you to confidently move forward with promising opportunities. When you receive prompt feedback after interviews or assessments, you can quickly assess fit and make informed decisions about potential roles.

This feedback loop is particularly valuable when managing multiple opportunities. Quick feedback enables you to prioritize the most promising leads and maintain professional relationships with all potential employers.

Refine & Strengthen Your Approach

One of the most valuable aspects of feedback is its role in your professional development. Constructive feedback after interviews or assessments provides insights that help you refine your approach and presentation. Whether it’s adjusting your interview technique, highlighting different aspects of your experience, or being prepared to address specific skill gaps, feedback is crucial for staying competitive in your field.

Wendy and the team at ELTA are the best in the business! 50% of our current construction staff are people that Wendy recruited for me. She spends enormous amounts of time making sure they are qualified and that they would be a great employee for Cityscape Residential. I am proud to know Wendy and I wouldn't use any other recruiter right now to staff our construction company.
