If the words “only shortlisted applicants will be contacted” appear in your job ad, then you’ve already put yourself on the back foot. Candidates want to be clearly and consistently communicated with so that they can make informed decisions, too. It’s not just about your organisation’s outcomes. Rather, it’s a collaborative effort between you and your candidates to find the best fit for both parties. Keeping your candidates in the loop will keep them engaged or give them the closure they need to move on to the next opportunity.
