How does customer service relate to recruiting?

As it continues to move toward a candidate-driven job market, recruiters must find ways to stand out. Providing true customer service for candidates is one way to ensure that they will have a pleasant recruiting experience and become happy employees.

When recruiters and hiring managers work with candidates, it’s important to learn specifically what each candidate is looking for in a job or potential employer. Communication is key here as you need to understand what aspects of your organization can be used to sell to these potential candidates.

Why is recruiting considered sales?

Rather than a product or service, it's your job to sell the company, company's culture, the position, and more. Unlike in “normal” sales, recruiting requires you to “double sell”: first, the candidate to the hiring manager; then the company and position to the candidate.
