In Poland, an increasing number of entrepreneurs realize that a professional recruitment process highly contributes to creating a brand’s image and its development. We can observe the growing number of companies that implement uniform procedures of a high standard and share them with potential candidates.

Recruitment of an employee is a complex process, and each of its stages is worth thinking about carefully – not only to find the ideal candidate for a particular position, but also for the sake of a better perception of the company on the market. Unfortunately, numerous entrepreneurs, usually in the heat of their duties, forget about what is part and parcel of it – proper communication with potential employees. This should also include the last and often the least pleasant stage of the recruitment process for both parties, i.e. informing the candidates that their CV application has been rejected.
