How do you handle questions prospects have
before they applyâŠwhen they are researching
your company?
- Can prospects call, email, text message recruiters directly?
- Do you have SM like Linkedin Groups, Talent Communities, Facebook
fan pages where Q&A can take place?
- Do you have interactive FAQs, recruiter blogs linked on your Company
siteâs career pages?
- Do you have chat rooms or webinars emphasizing specific jobs?
