How to Build Your Talent Engagement Process

According to CareerBuilder, 78% of candidates say that an organization’s candidate engagement reflects how it values its employees or team. This statistic clearly demonstrates the importance of ensuring a stellar candidate experience, especially at a time when the best talent considers more than just their compensation a key deciding factor when accepting a role. 

If you’re struggling with keeping your top talent engaged, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will show you how you can build your talent engagement process from start to finish so you can hire the best. 

Key Highlights 

  • Talent engagement is crucial to hiring the best talent and retaining them in the long term. 
  • It helps increase employee productivity and maximize profitability as a result. 
  • Building a robust talent engagement process requires a coherent step-wise approach, right from building a strong employee brand to devising strategies. 

What is Talent Engagement?

Talent engagement is an umbrella term used to refer to how an organization involves its employees in all aspects of its operation. In terms of recruiting, it refers to the process of keeping the best talent engaged with your organization to prevent them from switching over to a competitor. 

Talent Engagement is critical for several different reasons, including: 

  • It ensures that candidates are aware of every step of the process and the hiring timelines from the very beginning. 
  • It removes any room for confusion and ensures candidates can communicate with talent acquisition professionals regarding the role, organization, and hiring process. 
  • It helps increase employee productivity and retention once hired, thereby saving tremendous revenue that would otherwise be spent on re-hiring. 
  • It lowers absenteeism levels, thereby maximizing productivity and, in turn, profits. 

Talent Engagement Process
How to Build a Robust Talent Engagement Process 

Building a robust and effective talent engagement process involves several steps. These are described in detail below. 

Step 1: Build a Strong Employer Brand

Employer branding is crucial to ensure you attract the best talent to your organization and retain them for longer periods once they’re hired. A key example that demonstrates the importance of a strong employer brand comes from the US-based tobacco manufacturer Altria Group, Inc. 

It stated that its ability to attract and retain the best talent was being hindered by the decreasing acceptance surrounding the use of tobacco products and the lack of regulations to limit their usage. As a result, your business’s brand and what it stands for play a key role when attracting the best talent. 

Part of building your employer brand also means showcasing its USP. What does your company have to offer? Is it committed to ensuring its employees’ professional growth? How much does it value its employees? These are questions your brand’s website and other marketing channels must be committed to answering. 

Step 2: Create Detailed Job Descriptions 

The effort a business puts into its job descriptions often says a lot about itself. Clarity is key here, and if you want to attract the best talent, you must ensure that your job descriptions make the demands of the role clear. Additionally, you should also list the key skills or core competencies employees must possess to be considered for the role. 

The list doesn’t end here. The past few years have seen candidates across the world demanding that organizations disclose their salary ranges for the role they’re hiring for. While many businesses are reluctant to do so, it offers a host of benefits. For starters, it helps filter out candidates who won’t be the right fit for this role as those who think they’d be underpaid simply won’t apply. 

Additionally, it helps build your credibility as an organization that’s transparent about its compensation. This will undoubtedly lead to the best candidates being more willing to apply for the role. 

Step 3: Source and Select the Right Talent 

Sourcing the right talent becomes crucial for an organization that wants to hire the best talent. Detailed job descriptions with transparent salary ranges are one way to do this, as the previous section discussed. Talent acquisition professionals will also have to actively reach out to candidates in other roles and post their advertisements on platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, and so on. The more viability you have, the more candidates you have to choose from. 

Oorwin’s Talent Management Platform brings all the demands of talent management into one, seamless interface. This fully AI-enabled platform allows you to source the best talent fast, improve candidate experience, reduce the time to hire, and cut down on unnecessary hiring costs. Additionally, it also allows you to harvest resumes by locating qualified candidates across a range of job boards and automating talent pipelining. 

Once you’re done sourcing talent, you should also devise a system to assess candidates based on the demands of the role so you can hire the best fit. Devising a well-structured talent assessment strategy becomes crucial to ensure this. Keep in mind that this cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach; different roles require different kinds of assessments (cognitive, personality, written, and so on) and the key is to identify and use the right one. 

Oorwin also streamlines the process of onboarding candidates using digital signatures and e-forms. This ensures that talent acquisition professionals can onboard candidates remotely and quickly, thereby reducing the hiring time significantly. 

Step 4: Keeping Candidates Engaged 

The talent engagement process doesn’t end once a candidate has been hired. In fact, that’s just the beginning. The key is to ensure that you find ways to keep your employees engaged at all times. You can do this by implementing upskilling strategies, gathering feedback on potential improvements from all your employees, fostering innovation, leveraging AI, and allowing for lateral moves. 

The right use of these strategies can go a long way in maximizing productivity and improving employee retention in the long term. 

Step 5: Establish a Learning & Development Program 

Devising a Learning & Development (L&D) program is another key aspect of the talent engagement process. For starters, it ensures employees have the scope for professional upskilling, and that the skills they acquire can contribute to a specific organizational goal. One case study that stands out in this regard is that of Yelp.

By introducing the concept of stretch roles, Yelp ensures that employees are offered the training they need based on the new skills they gain while at work. This ensured that candidates didn’t feel stuck in a tightly defined career trajectory and that their role excited and challenged them at every turn. 

With Oorwin’s Human Resource Management platform, you can easily avail of a customized Learning Management System (LMS) with mobile compatibility to ensure candidates can access key learning material at any point and from anywhere.

Conclusion 

The benefits of effective talent management are limitless. From reduced hiring times to hiring the best talent, reducing hiring costs, and improving engagement and retention, the right approach can help businesses maximize their profitability. With Oorwin’s Talent Management Platform, you can streamline the hiring process using built-in communication tools, digital signatures, and e-forms, among several other features.

7 Ways to Improve Candidate Engagement

Over half (52%) of candidates declined job offers due to negative experiences during the hiring process.Additionally, 53% have had at least one negative hiring experience in the past 12 months. These figures paint a stark picture yet emphasize how important it is to keep candidates engaged during the hiring process. 

Keeping candidates engaged and creating a positive hiring experience is critical to how they view your organization. It also plays a crucial role in building and maintaining your brand’s image. After all, the last thing you’d want is for a candidate to leave a negative review of your organization, isn’t it? 

If you’re dealing with the challenge of keeping your potential hires engaged through the hiring process, this guide lists seven ways in which you can solve this. 

Key Highlights

  • Candidate engagement refers to the process of building strong relationships with potential hires to keep them engaged through every step of the hiring process. 
  • Candidate engagement can help improve the quality of hires, build and maintain your brand’s reputation, and continue to attract high-quality talent in the future. 
  • The first step toward improving your candidate engagement rates is with personalized and timely communication.
  • Gather feedback from candidates on the hiring process just as you’d offer them the same on their skills and profiles. 

Why is Candidate Engagement Important? 

Brand image, as the introduction mentioned, is critical in today’s landscape. With information easily accessible on every possible medium – LinkedIn, Indeed, GlassDoor, Twitter, Instagram, and so much more, candidates can find out all they need to know about an organization in just a few clicks. 

This, along with the need to ensure that you secure the best talent out there to build your organization, makes it essential to keep candidates engaged through the hiring process. In fact, 7 out of 10 individuals who stated having an exceptional candidate experience report being very happy with their jobs. Clearly, then, the quality of the hiring process also has a direct correlation with employee retention. 

The benefits are clear. A positive candidate experience plays a major role in every part of an employee’s journey with your organization and benefits the business itself. 

Candidate Engagement Strategy


7 Ways to Improve Candidate Experience 

Here are seven of the most effective ways to create an appealing and positive image of your brand and ensure consistent communication.

Make Candidates Want to Work For Your Company 

Several talent acquisition professionals hold one key opinion about the hiring process today –  hiring is increasingly becoming about marketing your business to potential candidates. 

Building a positive brand image then becomes critical to hiring the best talent. A few ways to manage this include: 

  • Use social media channels and your recruitment page to show candidates what your organization is about. 
  • Use technologies like Virtual Reality to show candidates where they’ll be working. 
  • Highlight employee experience on social media channels. 
  • Use your job descriptions to highlight the benefits of your organization’s culture. 

Pro Tip: Use your Careers Page for more than just listing vacancies. Highlight your company’s culture, the team, show how accessible the leadership is, and what a day at work in your organization looks like. 

Communicate Consistently 

Consistent communication is another key aspect that can help keep candidates engaged. Think of this like any relationship in your life: the more you communicate, the more engaged you are. One simple way to do this is to send confirmation emails. 

  • Have you received a candidate’s application? Send them a confirmation email. 
  • Have they moved on to the next round of the screening process? Send them a confirmation email. 
  • Are you no longer moving forward with their application? Communicate with them. 

And this process doesn’t have to be time-consuming either. You can use Oorwin’s Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to send candidates automated emails in bulk. The key is to ensure that you keep in touch, and this goes a long way in maintaining a positive brand image. 

Make Your Hiring Timelines Clear 

35% of applicants find lengthy applications frustrating. Think of the talent organizations miss out on in such situations when frustrations like these lead to high application abandonment rates. 

Making your hiring timelines clear from the very beginning helps build a sense of trust and keeps candidates engaged through the hiring process, especially since they know what to expect and when. While you don’t have to give them precise dates, you can always give them a time frame (such as a week or two) by which time they should know whether they’d have an offer in hand or not. 

Pro Tip: Creating a timeline of your candidate journey can be a great way to streamline the hiring process. It helps build a framework for how you should communicate with your candidates, and when, and ensures that you keep them engaged till the last step of the process. 

Make Use of a Content-Driven Engagement Strategy 

A content-driven engagement strategy involves sharing key pieces of content with candidates to keep them engaged through the hiring process. These could include blogs, videos, newsletters, reels, or other social media posts that educate them about your organization and get them excited about the opportunity to work with you. 

Sharing such content also helps filter out candidates who may not be a good fit for your organization as it helps paint a picture of your organization, the work it does, and its culture. 

With Oorwin’s advanced Contact Management Feature, you can seamlessly engage with candidates at every step of the hiring process and use it to deliver key brand-related content. 

Make Candidate Assessments Exciting 

Certain roles require assessing a candidate’s skills through an assignment, but as much as this is a necessity, it doesn’t have to be a painful experience. Finding ways to make assignments fun can help build engagement and improve the quality of the submissions as well. Additionally, it can also be a great way to increase the amount of time candidates spend on your website (think of the SEO benefits of this.)

PwC, a well-known consulting firm, made use of a business simulation game called “Multipoly” in its assessment process. The result? Job seekers who’d spent an average of 10 minutes on their website ended up spending an average of 90 minutes instead. 

Make Use of AI 

Leveraging AI in your hiring process is a no-brainer today. AI tools can be remarkably effective in streamlining and automating several aspects of the talent acquisition process. A chatbot, for example, can help answer candidates’ questions about your organization. Integrating one into your website can help candidates gather more information, giving them an edge in their interviews since they’d better understand what your company does. 

Similarly, using an AI-powered ATS can automate the process of managing resumes across multiple sources, locating qualified candidates, and so much more. 

With Oorwin, you can seamlessly integrate the tools in your existing tech stack using email and browser plugins and other integrations like ChatGPT. You can use AI to enhance your recruitment strategy for candidate scoring, searching, generating matching suggestions, gaining job insights, and matching profiles.Boost Candidate Engagement

Always Gather Feedback 

While feedback was traditionally seen as a one-way street, with organizations occasionally offering candidates a review of what they can do better, it’s just as crucial that organizations themselves gather feedback on how they can improve the hiring process. 

For starters, this is a great way of telling candidates that you care about more than just your company and its needs. Additionally, making meaningful changes to your hiring process can further help build your brand’s image and reputation in the future, giving you a better chance of hiring the best talent. 

Boost Candidate Engagement with Oorwin

Candidate engagement and a seamless and timely hiring process are critical to hiring the best talent for your organization. Oorwin’s digital onboarding streamlines the process using tools like digital signatures and e-forms and offers a personalized onboarding experience for new employees. 

Oorwin’s comprehensive suite automates onboarding, assigns tasks to new employees, and tracks their progress, all of which contribute to making employees feel engaged and valued. Talent acquisition can seem challenging, but it doesn’t have to be if you have the right tool at your disposal.

Talent Assessment Strategy: What is Your Recruiting Model?

Still relying on gut instinct to make hiring decisions? – You might be leaving top talent on the table! 

A clear recruiting model isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a strategic advantage. A poorly structured hiring process can lead to missed opportunities, longer time-to-hire, and a misalignment between candidates and company culture.

That’s why companies like Facebook invest heavily in talent strategy assessments, evaluating not only skills but also cultural fit and long-term potential. The payoff? Teams that drive innovation and growth.

A well-crafted recruiting model helps you stay consistent, minimize bias, and bring the right people on board.

Key Highlights 

  1. A talent assessment strategy is a comprehensive approach to understanding a potential candidate’s skills, competencies, and cultural fit in an organization. 
  2. The right strategy depends on the role you’re hiring for and on the organization’s culture, values, and goals. 
  3. Implementing a talent assessment strategy can help you hire the best talent for the role and reduce hiring costs. 
  4. Some of the key talent assessment strategies include skills assessments, personality tests, workplace simulations, and work samples. 
  5. AI-powered applicant tracking systems can help streamline repetitive tasks, allowing HR professionals to focus on hiring the right candidate.

What is a Talent Assessment Strategy? 

A talent assessment strategy is the method that hiring managers use to find and evaluate the talents and abilities of potential candidates and current employees in order to make informed recruiting, development, and promotion decisions.

A talent assessment strategy can incorporate various methods for evaluating job candidates.

For Candidate Evaluation

For Workforce Development
Skills Tests Performance Reviews
Structured Interviews Skills Gap Analysis
Job Simulations Employee Development Plans

develop a talent assessment strategy that defines your recruiting model and enhances candidate evaluation for effective hiring.

The Benefits of a Talent Assessment Strategy 

90% of hiring managers say that they find it challenging to source skilled candidates across a range of roles. While there are several reasons behind these statistics, one of the key barriers to finding and hiring the right talent is the lack of a well-defined talent assessment strategy. Here are some of the benefits an effective talent assessment strategy offers: 

Eliminates Bad Hires: There are several reasons why an employee may not end up being the right fit for their role.
Some of these include:

1. An incorrect cultural fit.
2. A mismatch between the demands of the role and the employee’s skills.
3. Low productivity leading to poor outcomes and missed targets.
4. Misalignment with the organization’s goals

Improves the Quality of Hires: Using role-specific assessments can go a long way in ensuring individual hires are well-aligned with the demands of their role, their ability to keep up with deadlines, and their competence in their role.
Avoid Bias in Hiring: Statistics have shown time and again how bias can subconsciously creep into the hiring process. The strict use of role-based talent assessment strategies can help eliminate such bias in hiring, leading to the creation of a more diverse workforce. 

Talent Assessment Strategies and Methods 

Different roles require different skills and personalities, and judging these can often be challenging, especially since there cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach to it. Using a combination of strategies thus becomes essential based on the role you’re hiring for or when you need to assess internal L&D needs. 

When you need to ensure the continuous learning of your existing workforce, Oorwin’s Learning Management tools allow you to track knowledge gaps and help fill them via a customized Learning Management System (LMS). 

Given below are some of the key strategies you can consider implementing:

Skills Assessments 

One of the most popular yet effective strategies is to assess a potential candidate’s skills to determine if they’d be a right fit for a given role. If you’re hiring for the role of a Digital Marketing expert, for instance, some of the key skills you’d need to assess include: 

  1. Proficiency in SEO strategies.
  2. Compelling writing skills across a range of mediums, including the web, social media, and more. 
  3. The ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders. 
  4. Knowledge of key SEO tools, and so on. 

Pro Tip: Conducting a thorough background check is critical to making the right hiring decisions. You can seamlessly integrate Oorwin with an AI-powered background-checking tool like Checkr to ensure you make the right hiring decisions. 

Workplace Simulations 

Think of workplace simulations as test runs, where a candidate is given mock exercises that mimic a real-world work environment. Whether it’s delivering a sales pitch, delivering a presentation to a client, and so on, these are a great way to assess a candidate’s skills for the role in question. 

Work Samples 

Incorporating work samples into the screening process can be a great idea for creative roles such as those of web or UI/UX designers, content writers, video editors, and so on. They offer recruiters an insight into a candidate’s past work, and by extension, their skills. 

Oorwin’s AI solutions can gather all resumes and portfolios with a click of a button without having to manually download each one. This helps streamline repetitive tasks, giving hiring managers more time to assess a candidate’s skills and cultural fit. 

Behavioral Interviews or Personality Assessments 

Another key strategy is to adopt the use of personality assessments. These assess a candidate’s ability to deal with a range of different social situations, solve problems on the fly, and their approach to collaborating with their peers. This is an effective way to ensure that a potential candidate is the right cultural fit. 

While this is one assessment that would do well with an in-person assessment, you can also do this by integrating AI into your talent assessment strategy. Oorwin’s Applicant Tracking System, for instance, automatically ranks candidates so hiring managers have an overview of the best talent for the role. 

Pro Tip: If you’re mass hiring, leveraging situational judgment tests (SJTs) can be a brilliant solution to assess candidates’ decision-making skills in a range of situations. By choosing from a set of options on what course of action to take, you can assess if they’re the right fit for your organization. 

Game-based Assessments

Game-based assessments take the traditional approach to skills assessment and transform it into an engaging experience. It offers organisations the benefit of placing candidates in specific role-based situations to assess their approach to problem-solving, their skills, and their ability to collaborate with their peers when needed. 

Cognitive Aptitude Tests

Cognitive aptitude tests are an effective method of evaluating a candidate’s critical thinking, logical reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. They particularly help pre-screen entry-level candidates with strong analytical skills, but they’re less effective for role-specific assessments. 

While these are a few strategies that help HR professionals assess potential candidates, there are several others that can help analyze skills and knowledge gaps among an organization’s existing workforce as well.
Talent Assessment Tools

Wrapping Up 

Integrating effective talent assessment strategies is one of the best ways of hiring the best talent, reducing the cost of hiring, and assessing skill and knowledge gaps among your existing workforce. There are several different strategies you can choose from, each of which has its own strengths and weaknesses.
