The link between happiness at work and recruitment

Happiness at work starts with recruitment. After all, it's always about the right match! The right candidate in the right place. A place where someone feels at home and can be themselves. The strength of recruiting is that you can discover in interviews what really makes the candidate happy and what he/she needs.

By identifying this and matching it to the company's culture, you can ensure that incorrect recruitment is avoided. It would not be fair to recruit candidates if you know beforehand that the person will not be happy in the workplace, in the team,... On the contrary, an unhappy employee leaves later anyway and is left with a negative experience. And in the end, it will also give you a lot time and money costs. A candidate with whom you communicate honestly is grateful. You specifically help this candidate in the search for happiness at work.

Connecting starts with finding

Connecting with candidates starts with bringing out your vacancy.

• Has the content of a vacancy been carefully considered?
• Through which channels do we announce the vacancy?
• Does it really reflect how we function as a company and what we find important?
• Does the vacancy tell the story we really want to tell?

At that moment, you are already connecting with a potential candidate.

As soon as you receive an application from someone who wants to work at your organization, the process of connecting starts.

• What kind of communication will this candidate receive?
• Within what time frame do we provide feedback?
• Has a structured selection process been considered?
• How transparent are we in communicating about which steps are being taken in the process?

All questions that deserve the necessary importance when you market yourself as an employer.

A candidate who is invited but does not experience the expected feeling during the interview drops out. And vice versa also sows a lot of doubt. So good preparation is key!

Welcome aboard

And what exactly do you do when a candidate signs a contract? Will you stay in touch between signing and the actual business day? Few do it and yet it is the start of the Employee Journey, the path that employees take during their careers. Then why not keep connecting? By sending a personal postcard with a nice message, for example? Or a nice surprise that no one expects.

Will you also map out the onboarding afterwards? What does a new employee's first day of work look like? Who needs to fix what and how will we give him/her a happy first day of work, an exciting first week?
