Happy Tuesday OzB Community,

I work in internal recruitment, and an interesting idea was floated, the business I work for is a large retailer.

The idea is that candidates who progress to a certain stage in a recruitment process would receive a voucher if they were unsuccessful, a little way of saying thanks for thinking of us & to keep potential customers engaged with the brand.

I was interested to get people's thoughts if they found themselves in this situation, lets say you applied for a job at Amazon, got to interview stage, was made unsuccessful (given feedback post-interview also) and received a $10/$20/$50 voucher to spend how you want at Amazon, what would you think?

Poll has been included also :)

    Yay for free money

    This is ozbargain - who's going to say no to free money? lol

    I think most unsuccessful applicants would simply appreciate a phone call with some constructive feedback.

      Yes to the feedback.

      It'd be nice to just know you didn't get the position, feedback would be even more surprising!
      It's been a while since I've been in that position but the amount of times the recruitment contact goes MIA and you just assume you didn't get the role was stupid.

    • hsimo on 30/10/2020 - 19:42

      From the perspective of someone who's recently gone through a few interviews (thanks COVID) for professional positions, what actually made the difference to what was more likely to encourage me to use a company again is how I was treated after the fact.

      You can throw all the free money at me you want but:

      If I make it through three or four steps in an interview process which will likely involve me spending a not insignificant amount of time and money to prepare and then get turned down and thrown to the curb, you bet I'd be spending what I was given and not a cent more ever again.

      TL:DR

      If you treat people with the dignity they deserve and provide genuinely useful and constructive feedback which they can go and build upon, I suspect you'll find brand loyalty is kept regardless of the circumstance.

    By a job at Amazon what do you mean? If I got through the first three rounds of a senior engineer role and then got a $10 voucher, I'd be a bit confused and possibly insulted.

    What's the agenda here? Just trying to get additional customers? Seems like a bit of a weird way to get a few customers.

    • spook290 on 27/10/2020 - 18:47
      +6

      Agenda is to keep customers, always at risk of losing customers if they're not successful for a job.

      Of course we run a good recruitment process and provide feedback, this would be a cherry on top

      • Scrooge McDuck on 28/10/2020 - 23:47

        As OzBargainers we're all going to vote for the free money.

        But from what I've learnt about normal people, they might take it as an insult. Might be better to ask this question elsewhere like Qooqle, Bookface or Twatter.

          On second thought, why not just ask this as one of the earlier interview questions? Then you can tailor the offer to the individual.

          Also, how far would I need to go through the interview process to get the voucher? And what happens if I accidentally get the job?

            @Scrooge McDuck: Personally I think it would be an odd question to be asked, I know if I got asked it during the interview would I be wondering if there's a 'right answer to it?

            It would be anyone we have met for an interview and was made unsuccessful, if you get the job, I would say you're feeling engaged with the brand and wouldn't be needing the extra little sweetener on top

        This is an awesome idea: give a voucher to bring the offended people into your store to confront management or the poor person who did get the job.

        • 1st-Amendment on 19/11/2020 - 14:36

          You're offended at them because you're too useless to get the job? Odd logic…

    Well… I'd say use that money instead to improve the benefits and wages of your existing employees, but I'm assuming a large retailer with enough turnover of staff to justify a large recruitment team wouldn't really consider that.

    • abb on 27/10/2020 - 16:14

      It's a marketing expense that the company has a reasonable expectation of making a profit from.

      The profits then could be used to benefit their workers, in theory.

      The reason Amazon is thinking of doing this is whoever doesn't get a job with them after applying, could feel they want nothing to do with the company after being rejected. So give them a voucher to either not lose them as a customer or if they're not already a member give them a voucher in hopes they will become one.

        Am I that stupid to hit my hip pocket twice? Considering not many jobs for life these days. I would seriously think people need to seek help if they committee to a lifetime of not buying from Amazon because they didn't get a job that may have only lasted for 2 years.

      Agreed, this is more like it as there's a lesser intrinsic value attached to it. A $50 or $100 movie card. 'Thanks for sticking with us through this process, sorry it didn't work out this time. Getting a no for a job is always hard, so here's a night out on us. We hope the next interview is a great match for you'.

    You'd hope the voucher would reflect the pay of the job and the effort taken. For low level casual jobs who progressed to final group interviews maybe $5 would be cool. For a manager position that pays just 40k, maybe $20 would be fine. I bet after a few years your company would develop a reputation for these vouchers. But do you really want specifically people who care about small vouchers going out of their way to apply to work for your company? Maybe you do and maybe you don't.

If I had spent 5-10 hours on CV, cover letter,emails back and forth, phone calls, preparing for interviews, travelling to interviews, taking time off from work to go to the interviews, and the interviews themselves. I would be insulted that this was worth 50 bucks. Better to get nothing. Even better to get some thoughtful feedback, this is worth WAY more than 50 stinking bucks.

        Have you ever volunteered for something, then later received money and you feel like, oh so that's all it was worth, I thought I was doing something really good, but I feel like my Saturday is worth more than that amount of money, so I'll never do it again? Volunteering is better when you feel your time is valuable and worth something not spoken. It is similar to something I read a while ago (I can try to find it if you want) where a daycare centre had problems with parents occasionally picking up their children late. So they added a fee for each minute late a parent was. What happened is that parents were late MORE often because now it had been monetised, so parents could decide if finishing a last task at work or whatever was worth the fee, and staff inconvenience was paid for. Whereas before, it was an abstract "cost" - inconveniencing the staff which parents were loath to do. It was a matter of personal relationships rather than cold cash.

        Same kind of thing here - better to receive nothing (except feedback which is worth more than some voucher), and not have your effort and time be ascribed any particular monetary value.

        • Scythic on 29/10/2020 - 20:59

          You can also have a choice not to accept those money and feel good about yourself.

            @Scythic: The fact of it being offered places a monetary value - it's not the accepting or not accepting.

            I'm not saying going to job interviews is like volunteering. Just that you can have a feeling of something in the abstract that's destroyed when a monetary value is ascribed to it (unless the monetary amount is very high, which is out of the reach of the organisation or person that is the target of the behaviour that has the abstract feeling associated with it, which is the main reason monetary exchange is customarily not a part of that behaviour, or the behaviour might not continue with the amount that they can reach)

          The daycare centre example comes from the first Freakonomics book [while discussing the concept of incentives with the reader].

          Paying a $6 late pickup fee replaced the social guilt they felt for jerking the daycare staff around by showing up late.

          I think an unsuccessful applicant receiving a form letter that said "Thanks for applying, unfortunately you weren't successful, here's a complimentary $X voucher and thanks for your time" would be weird [as in no one else does it] but non-offensive [as in how dare you].

          Some might find it ridiculous however, which is a separate concept.

    I applied for a grad job a number of years ago at a large snackfood/food company, did multiple rounds of interview, online and in-person, before finally an assessment centre where I had to fly interstate.

    As part of this they had a bunch of displays of all the products they made, which were used as part of some assessment activities and also for snacking.

    At the end of the day we were able to take as many items as we wanted and even though I was ultimately unsuccessful, having gotten a bunch of freebies (and some constructive feedback) ultimately helped soothe the wounds…

    I think a more slightly constructive way of doing this would be to call all unsuccessful candidates, give them a small chat about being unsuccessful, a little constructive feedback if available, and tell them a letter will come with a voucher and a little card with details on how to provide feedback on the recruitment process. That way you have done the best to keep them happy, given them a little something, and could get some constructive feedback on the company. Win Win.

        Because you're not good enough that means you automatically hate a company? Strange logic. Most wouldn't even apply for a company they hate, so you're saying you would instantly be put off by them for rejecting you? OP is definitely on to something for not losing customers, by giving out vouchers if applicants with your mindset are applying. People always seem to blame everyone else for their failings, not the one person that it actually is.

          What an ignorant and extremely stupid reply, devoid of any sympathy towards anyone who has not landed a job after an interview.

          You do realise many people get jobs not through merit but through networks, yes? Simply because one doesn't get a job doesn't mean they weren't actually the best or that they weren't good enough. Your post reeks of ignorance as to what happens in the real world. There's a book called Game of Mates you should educate yourself with by reading.

          FYI I landed a grad role (beating about 8000 other applicants) after studying and I still aim to continually improve through further study through my workplace and through online courses. So grow a brain before you for assume that I blame others for my failings. SMH so many stupid ignorant people around who think they know everything. You must think everyone who is good enough will get a job. That's not how the real world works, get a freaking clue.

          Maybe you should read some of the news lately about the Aus Post CEO or the V/Line CEO, unless you think being corrupt is an admirable trait? Must be Australian.

          I wish I was as ignorant as you because then I wouldn't see all the crap that occurs in this country.

            @Ghost47: Wow I guess it definitely hit home for you lol. Relax I don't need your life story. Wasn't talking about you failing just people in general, but sounds like you definitely are a failure with a lot of resentment built up. If you're chosen for an interview you should be able to get the job. Yes networking and knowing people helps but then you wouldn't get an interview in the first place if they already knew who they wanted. Still don't understand why you would be so childish and hate a company after they wouldn't hire you? Why would I give sympathy for people who fail a job interview? Just keep trying and work on your skills. Grow up princess, you've proven my point about blaming everyone but yourself.

              @Whisper Quiet: Get a clue, you're like most idiots on the internet — no idea about how the world works. Hope you grow up soon kid.

              Wasn't talking about you failing just people in general

              Because you're not good enough that automatically means you hate a company?

              Speaks for itself really, can't even admit what you did. The lack of integrity amongst our population is disgusting.

                @Ghost47: Thanks grandpa. Although it sounds like I'm a lot older than you. Fresh out of grad school? I've just given answers to all your points, what don't you understand. You still won't answer any of my questions…? It's a general statement referring to anybody with that mindset. Wow you are so sensitive. How have you even survived in the workplace until now?

                  @Whisper Quiet: LOL you're older than me? LOL that's sad HAHAHAHAHA. Thought wisdom came with age but it's clear that doesn't always happen. Not sensitive, just stand up to idiots who know nothing about what they speak of.

                    @Ghost47: Ok. Sad that you act the way you do when initially I wasn't even talking about you. Only people in general. You cry and whine about being a failure, then blame other people for it. Which is exactly what I said would happen in my first post. All you've shown is how poor you would be at taking rejection and then putting the blame on others.

                      @Whisper Quiet: You really need to re-read your own comments because you contradict yourself, and it makes you look extremely stupid. What an absolute fool, basing all your thoughts on assumptions of others. Pathetic, and the world needs less people like you. Also my organisation needs less people like you.

                      "Didn't need your life story" when I was simply rebutting your idiotic ignorant comment to educate you as to why you are wrong and what you did initially about me was just dumb (profanity) assumptions by someone who clearly is missing half their brain. You are a real piece of you know what and should disappear because it's clear you contribute nothing of value to anybody.

                      So offended based on my original comment which was an opinion then launched into personal attacks lmao what a snowflake.

                        @Ghost47: I think you need to reread the comment. The only response that is directly aimed at you in my first comment is why you would hate a company that didn't give you a job? As people don't apply for a job with a company they hate, so that means you liked them previously to go for a position there. You still haven't answered that yet. I don't even care anymore… I think I'm drowning in all your tears so I need to get out of here.

                          @Whisper Quiet: You are conflating not wanting to use a business' service with HATE based on being rejected. Where did I say I would boycott the company for the rest of my life?

                          Your — frankly idiotic actually — comment was based on an assumption. Yeah you run away and think deeply again before assuming things about others based on one comment they make online. People like you are the ones who gossip and spread hate behind other people's backs.

                          Please leave the planet. You can't even admit or acknowledge my quoting of your comments. Grow a backbone, develop some integrity and stick to your convictions. Unless you enjoy being seen as weak? I thought everyone learnt to swim as a child.

                            @Ghost47: You actually might need some serious psychological help. You said you would cut ties with the company in your first comment. That's the same as boycotting. I've officially drowned now, please stop crying.

                              @Whisper Quiet: As I said, your initial comment was based on an assumption that I hated the company when I said "why would I want anything to do with them?" which isn't the same.

                              Maybe next time read, and then think a lot (you clearly need to) about what was meant.

                              Still haven't acknowledged you were targeting me specifically in your original reply. Anyway I am done now and can walk away from your ignorance and live a better life now that you will be gone, and I also have the willpower to walk away lol unlike you "so I need to get out of here" yet keeps coming back haha.

      Maybe some company merchandise that you can’t put a value on? Like others have said monetising the experience feels more like a transaction than some goodwill, marketing you are aiming for?

      I did vote take the money btw, but that’s the putting on the OzBargain hat, than what if I was in a real situation. IMO just something that feels valuable as a candidate and something obviously your company is looking to create (goodwill) from the interview experience and chance of employment/job-change.

    A few graduate jobs I went for in the UK approx. 30ish years ago gave "showbags" to all those who got to a certain stage in the interview process, regardless of outcome i.e. got the showbag directly after the interview before they'd formally agreed who to offer the jobs to. The only one I specifically remember was nestle whose bag contained chocolate bars. Didn't keep me any more engaged with the brand than I would have been anyway.
