In today’s competitive hiring landscape, the experience candidates have during the recruitment process isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s a critical business differentiator. At Magnetic, we don’t just match resumes to roles; we create magnetic connections that drive performance, loyalty, and growth.

That connection starts with the experience.

Why It Matters

For businesses looking to attract top-tier talent in higher level roles ($100k+), the recruitment process is a direct reflection of your culture, priorities, and leadership. A clunky, impersonal, or opaque hiring journey can turn the perfect candidate into a disengaged dropout. And in a world where skilled professionals have choices, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

A great candidate experience leads to:

• greater role acceptance rates

• improved employer brand reputation

• faster time to hire

• longer-term employee engagement

• a competitive differentiation

The Magnetic Approach to Candidate Experience

We believe in more than just filling roles. We’re in the business of forging future-fit partnerships between candidates and clients – and that begins with human-first, values-led recruitment.

Here’s how we deliver an exceptional candidate journey:

1. Personalised, Not Processed

Every candidate is treated as an individual. We dig deep to understand their motivations, goals, and aspirations – then align these with future-ready roles that unlock their potential.

2. Clarity and Communication

No black holes here. We believe in transparency at every stage — from application to final decision. Candidates are kept in the loop.

3. Consultative Coaching

We don’t just present opportunities; we prepare candidates for them. Whether it’s interview readiness or role expectations, we support them every step of the way.

4. Feedback That Fuels Growth

Even when candidates aren’t selected, we aim to offer constructive feedback. Because every interaction should be a step forward in someone’s career journey even if they don’t land the role.

What Clients Gain from a Great Candidate Experience

An exceptional candidate journey doesn’t just benefit the individual – it elevates your entire employer brand. When your recruitment process reflects respect, clarity, and care, word travels fast.

Your ideal candidates may not be actively job-hunting. But when they hear that your process is different — that it values people, not just placements – you’ll become an employer of choice.

What Great Looks Like in Practice

One of our clients in the tech sector recently hired a senior data manager through Magnetic. The candidate had multiple offers — but chose our client because they “felt seen” during the process, and the process was swift. The role, the team, and the mission were a match — but what sealed the deal was how Magnetic and the client partnered together, proactively, to make the candidate feel respected and informed throughout, keeping things moving at pace.

This is how we win top talent. This is how we future-proof businesses.
