Provide enough information<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also possible that the information revealed by the employer has not been enough to attract the applicant. For companies, it is beneficial to provide applicants with enough relevant information to convince them that your company is their employer of choice. Hand in hand with providing enough information, effective employer branding measures should be used. For example, stories can be told about the development of team colleagues working for the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Ask for feedback during the hiring process<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be beneficial to ask candidates for feedback after they completed a certain level of the hiring process.
