    Attract and select the best entry-level hires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It can be difficult to fill entry-level roles with early career professionals<\/a> who likely have limited experience. Investing in early talent management can feel like a gamble. How do you know which candidates have the highest potential? How do you evaluate a candidate with no past experience in the job? What are you supposed to measure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In often dense candidate pools filled with people looking to start their careers, tailoring your selection process to focus on potential is key.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Our top 5 tips for successful entry-level hiring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are many ways that employers can improve the candidate experience<\/a> and engagement. Some actionable tips include:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    1. Check your criteria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Look closely at the job description you\u2019re hiring for to determine what is required for success in the role. Is that criteria fair and achievable for entry level talent? Following a standardized process that is measuring the critical components for successful job performance can help ensure you\u2019re selecting the best talent for that role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    \n

    2. Evaluate for potential and fit not experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Entry-level candidates usually have limited experience. High potential candidates may be screened out of the process if you\u2019re only looking at and measuring past experience. Instead, find an assessment solution that allows you to predict performance by evaluating fit to the demands of the job role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    3. Improve diversity by focusing on the attributes that lead to success<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Using selection procedures that focus on past experience has led to problems with diversity and fairness. When hiring is based on experience, candidates who have had access to that experience are favored \u2014 contributing to inequality across other groups. Focusing on the attributes that actually determine success on the job allows for a fairer evaluation of potential rather than access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    4. Showcase the best of your organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The reality of entry level hiring is that you will face a lot of competition. Today\u2019s market for early talent is highly sought after by many organizations, and candidates may be evaluating several options at once. Stand out by showing them the best of your organization \u2014 and how you can help enhance their future career. It\u2019s crucial for organizations today to ensure their entry level hiring process effectively communicates its company values to make candidates want to work for them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    5. Communicate with candidates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Candidates want to be evaluated by another human, not a machine. Sometimes the easiest, but most overlooked, way to keep a candidate engaged in your selection process is to simply communicate. Tell them what to expect from the process and how to get to each next step along the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
