Aged and Disabled Carers are among the most in-demand roles in Australia. In September, 4,526 positions were advertised according to the Internet Vacancies Index. Projections from Jobs and Skills Australia estimate a significant growth of 28% over the next 10 years, equating to an increase of 86,600 workers. The trend is similar for Registered Nurses, with an expected growth of 24%, adding 80,500 workers to the field. The challenge: how can you find, hire, and retain good people in this tight market?
Candidate experience should be at the centre of your recruitment program. It’s no longer just a nice to have, it is an essential element of your employer brand. People exit a process feeling valued and respected, even if they don’t get the job. Meanwhile, you increase your opportunity to hire great talent, build a strong employer brand, earn employee referrals, and establish a pool of talent by leveraging the community around your clients, families, and staff. A positive candidate experience is a win-win for everyone.
Embracing proactive recruitment, which involves tapping into your network, leveraging word-of-mouth referrals, and utilising talent communities – can reduce ‘time-to-fill’ by 14 days (or 35%) vs ‘post ‘n pray’ reactive recruitment a.k.a external job boards.

Regardless of your business size, remuneration and EVP, a good candidate experience levels the playing field. It levels the playing field regardless of remuneration and EVP.
