What is Candidate Engagement?
What does 'Candidate Engagement' mean?
Keeping applicants informed and responsive throughout hiring, through timely replies, status updates, scheduling, nurture messages to passive prospects, and follow-up with people who applied previously. Recruiting tools automate much of this with sequenced email, SMS, or chat. The aim is to reduce the drop-off caused by silence and to keep a talent pool warm for future roles.
