It involves reviewing each step of the recruitment process, including sourcing, website presence, social media assets, the application process, to identify any weaknesses or areas of improvement.
The purpose of auditing the candidate journey is to ensure that the recruitment process is effective, efficient, and provides a positive experience for candidates. This helps organizations understand their current process, uncover bottlenecks, and make strategic changes to attract and retain top talent.
