Surviving a Hiring Freeze: How to Engage with candidates in a hiring freeze
Episode 6

Surviving a hiring freeze: How to Engage with candidates in a hiring freeze. Companies who communicate proactively with pending candidates and optimize the talent on hand can minimize the long-term effects of a freeze and ultimately come out stronger on the other side. Tips 1. Mass email candidates letting them know why you are freezing hiring and when it will be open again. Let them know who is the point of contact to reach out with any questions. 2. Personalized messaging is king. Now is the time to reach out to candidates individually. Email them and remind them you are highly interested in them as a candidate. Share more information about their hirnring manger. 3. Call all candidates on final rounds of interviews. Yes, I said call them did I stutter. Call them and let them know what the next steps are and, ask if they have any questions. 4. Weekly emails to let candidates know were they are in the process are crucial. Do not send out one mass email and, think that is enough it's not. Bonus tip: Share videos to candidates of old happy hours and interviews with leaders, give them a taste fo the culture in your organization. Let them become a fan of the organization before they even get hired.
