 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

 Improve the quality of hires: By optimizing the recruitment process, you can attract and hire more
qualified candidates. This can lead to improved employee performance, productivity, and retention.
 Reduce the time to fill open positions: A well-optimized recruitment process can help you to fill open
positions more quickly. This is important because delays in filling open positions can lead to lost
productivity and morale issues.
 Reduce the cost of recruitment: Optimizing the recruitment process can help you to reduce the cost of
hiring new employees. This can be achieved by reducing the time it takes to fill open positions, reducing
the number of unqualified candidates who apply, and improving the efficiency of the recruitment process
itself.
 Improve the candidate experience: A well-optimized recruitment process will provide a positive
experience for candidates. This can lead to improved brand reputation and increased candidate
engagement.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

• Surveys: Surveys can be used to collect data from a large number of people in a relatively short period of
time. They can be used to gather information on a wide range of topics, including candidate satisfaction,
recruiter performance, and the overall effectiveness of the recruitment process.
• Interviews: Interviews can be used to collect more detailed information from a smaller number of people.
They can be used to explore specific aspects of the recruitment process, such as the challenges that
recruiters face or the reasons why candidates decline job offers.
• Focus groups: Focus groups can be used to gather insights from a group of people about a particular topic.
They can be used to explore the candidate experience, the recruiter experience, or the overall effectiveness
of the recruitment process.
• Data analysis: Data analysis can be used to identify patterns and trends in recruitment data. This
information can be used to improve the recruitment process by identifying areas of improvement and
developing targeted solutions.

than the common significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null

that there is a significant association between gender and aspects of the
recruitment process. 12

 FINDINGS
 Majority of respondents are female (70.6%)
 Majority of age respondents 18-24 (74.5%)
 Majority of respondents are Master degree (52.9%) of education qualification
 Majority of respondents are full time employers (68.6%) of employment
 Majority of respondents are very satisfied with the overall application process (52.9%)
 Majority of respondents rates the communication response during recruitment process (43.1%)
 Majority of respondents are convenient and well-organized with interview scheduling (92.2%)
 Majority of respondents are very satisfied with their recruitment process aspect (37.3%)
 Majority of the respondents agreed with their skills and qualifications in recruitment stages (98%)
 Majority of respondents are very satisfied with receiving their response after submitting the application (45.1%)
 43% respondents agrees with the efficiency of interview scheduling process in terms of promptness and
flexibility
 Majority of the respondents are accepted with the recruitment process in terms of speed or reduced time-to-hire
compared to previous experience (94.1%)
 47.1% respondents are good with consistency of communication and updates throughout the various stages
 47.1% respondents are majority in user-friendly platform with candidate experience
 Majority of respondents are 98% of other candidates on recent experience

14
  Diverse Sampling: Efforts should be made to diversify the sample by actively
seeking input from a broader range of demographics, including different genders,
age groups, educational backgrounds, and employment statuses. This will provide a
more comprehensive and representative view of candidate experiences.

SUGGESTIONS  Collect Qualitative Data: Alongside quantitative data, gather qualitative feedback
through open-ended questions. This allows candidates to express their experiences
in their own words, providing richer insights into specific pain points or positive
aspects of the recruitment process.

 Longitudinal Studies: Conducting surveys at different points in time can help track
changes in candidate experiences over time, allowing for a more dynamic
understanding of how processes may evolve.

 Address Negatives: Act on feedback provided by candidates, particularly areas

where there is less satisfaction. Implementing changes based on this feedback
demonstrates responsiveness and a commitment to improving the candidate
experience.

 Regular Platform Training: For the 2% who mentioned not being aware of the
platform, consider implementing regular training sessions or resources to familiarize
candidates with the platform.

 Utilize Technology for Accessibility: Ensure that the platform is accessible and
user-friendly for candidates with diverse technological proficiency levels. Provide
clear instructions and support resources.

 Transparency and Communication: Continue efforts to maintain transparency and

clear communication throughout the recruitment process. Ensure candidates are kept
informed about their progress. 15
 LIMITATIONS
 Limited Demographic Diversity: The sample may not be fully representative of the broader population due to
the majority of respondents being female (70.6%) and falling within the age range of 18-24 (74.5%). This may
limit the generalizability of the findings to a more diverse population.

 Education Level Bias: The majority of respondents having a Master's degree (52.9%) might skew the results
towards individuals with higher education qualifications. This could potentially exclude perspectives from
candidates with different educational backgrounds.

 Employment Status Bias: A majority of respondents being full-time employees (68.6%) may lead to an
overemphasis on experiences and preferences relevant to this specific employment status. This could exclude
insights from part-time workers, freelancers, or those with other employment arrangements.

 Response Positivity Bias: The high percentage of respondents expressing satisfaction (e.g., very satisfied with
the overall application process, very satisfied with recruitment process aspect) may indicate a potential positive
response bias. This could be due to social desirability or reluctance to provide negative feedback.

 Recency Bias: The survey may be capturing experiences of candidates who have recently gone through the
recruitment process. This might not account for changes or updates in the process over time, potentially leading
to a skewed perspective. 16
 CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the findings reveal valuable insights into the candidate experience during the recruitment process.
While a majority of respondents expressed satisfaction, it is important to acknowledge the limitations, including
potential biases in demographic representation, education levels, and employment statuses. To enhance the
robustness of future studies, it is recommended to diversify the sample, collect qualitative data, and conduct
longitudinal studies. Additionally, addressing areas of lower satisfaction and providing regular platform training
can contribute to an improved candidate experience. Ensuring accessibility and transparency throughout the
process remains crucial for creating a positive and inclusive recruitment experience for all candidates. By
implementing these suggestions, organizations can work towards refining their recruitment processes and
ultimately attracting and retaining top talent.
