I was on a team once that hired a "backup candidate."
They got denied for the role and then a few days later got hired. Here's how:
It was a pretty competitive finance role and there were a ton of good applicants.
Good pay, good company, solid benefits, room for growth. The whole sha-bang.
Well, we identified two top candidates, did full rounds of interviews, assessed thoroughly and went with one candidate over the other.
However, the top candidate got a huuuge counteroffer from their current employer and couldn't turn it down. It was a bummer, but hey, good for them.
So, we turned to the *other* candidate and called to explain the whole situation.
No games or "corporate speak," we were just transparent and still said we were excited about hiring them.
Here's the kicker: They said yes and it was BECAUSE OF THEIR EXPERIENCE AS A CANDIDATE!
Music to our ears 🎵
Does treating candidates well and valuing their experience matter?
Yes. It matters a lot.
And it can often be the difference when making your next great hire.
