…2020 is the era of employee experience—it signaled the change of the candidates’ mindsets and objectives. Companies need to think of themselves as designers so that they can carve out the best employee experience possible.
While the meat of a job like remuneration, benefits, and perks are all critical points for companies to consider, the intangible things like culture and beliefs are gradually getting their spotlight. For instance, candidates are using Glassdoor to know more about the company’s culture before they even apply for the job.
Rather than employers running a background check on their candidates, it’s now the other way around.
