Example input
The company mainly uses online job boards to advertise its vacancies.
It does not actively search for candidates on social networks or trade fairs.
The job descriptions are quite generic and do not highlight the benefits of working for the company.
Interested candidates are invited to send their CV and cover letter via an online application form.
Candidates who meet the basic criteria are then invited for an interview in person or by video conference.
The company does not use specific tests or skills assessments to evaluate candidates, but rather relies on the skills and experience described in their CV and cover letter.
The recruitment process is often lengthy and candidates do not always receive clear feedback on their progress in the process.
The company does not have a clear communication plan to inform candidates of their progress in the recruitment process, which can lead to delays in the process and a poor candidate experience.
In addition, the company does not have measures in place to strengthen its employer brand or improve the candidate experience.
This is the position to be filled:
"Art Director".
