In this chapter we took you from the application all the way through to the first few days on the job for your new recruit.
The key topics you learned in this chapter were:
The importance of timing as part of the recruitment process
Narrowing down your shortlist
Competency-based interviews
Skills testing
Final steps of making an offer
Welcoming your candidate
What should be clear at this stage is that the future generation of workers is Internet-savvy, always connected, and looking for more than just a role that pays the bills. They want the organization to fit their values and life as much as the other way around. Attracting IT graduates and at that, attracting the best, will be an exercise in creativity and communication.
I hope that this book has given you some useful ideas on how to start and smooth out your process to lead to long-lasting employee relationships, and to successfully attract more IT graduates to join your company.
