The challenges of filling vacancies

Many companies experience that filling vacancies takes longer than desired. This is due to several factors, including:

  • Labour market tightness: There is more demand than supply in many sectors, giving candidates more choice.
  • Insufficient visibility: Companies do not always manage to bring job vacancies to the attention of the right people.
  • Inefficient processes: The recruitment process is sometimes too slow or insufficiently focused on candidates' needs.

Our approach is designed to overcome these challenges and help companies attract qualified candidates quickly.

Our strategy for accelerating the recruitment process

1. Building an attractive employer profile

A strong employer profile is crucial to stand out in a competitive market. We help companies create an authentic and attractive image of their organisation so that potential candidates feel engaged.

  • Employer value proposition (EVP): What makes your company unique as an employer? We map this out clearly and communicate it in all your recruitment communications.
  • Content creation: We develop engaging stories, and clear info that showcase your company culture and core values.
  • Social proof: Showing the internal atmosphere and successes helps build confidence and interest among potential candidates.

2. Targeted use of online channels

To reach the right candidates, it is important to be present on the channels where they are active. Our strategy includes a mix of organic and paid promotion, tailored to your target audience.

  • Social media campaigns: Platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook offer opportunities to target specific audiences based on location, skills and interests.
  • SEO for jobs: By implementing keyword strategies, we make sure your jobs rank well in search results.

3. Optimisation of the application process

The application process plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining candidates. A simple, transparent and quick process can make the difference between a successful hire and a missed opportunity.

  • Accessible vacancies: We ensure vacancies are clearly and attractively written, with a focus on what candidates want to know, such as responsibilities, growth opportunities and fringe benefits.
  • Mobile-friendly: Many candidates apply via their smartphones. We optimise the process to reduce friction and generate more applications.
  • Automated follow-up: By using tools such as automated emails, we keep candidates engaged during the process.

Conclusion

Filling vacancies does not have to be a lengthy and stressful process. With a strategic approach focusing on visibility, efficiency and a strong employer profile, you can quickly attract the right candidates.

I contacted Wout as part of a mini RFP where he came out on top in a selection of 13 competitors. He was not the cheapest but stood head and shoulders above the competition in terms of responsiveness, clarity, transparency, helpfulness and willingness to listen.

From the start of my project, it turned out to be precisely these qualities that ensured that every question, every suggestion and the countless times I changed my mind were calmly and openly met and resolved by Wout.

Each time, he managed to clarify my sometimes confused suggestions, offer some solutions and then, above all, implement them at lightning speed (even "on the spot" in some cases).

His communication is calm, friendly, never pedantic or unnecessarily complicated. He is approachable, always accessible and keeps his appointments.

He will also explain his views on certain decisions and frame them with the necessary diplomacy.

He kept me informed at every step of the progress he had made, the next steps and the actions I still needed to take myself.

And the result is a website that runs flawlessly and that I can be incredibly proud of. NPS 10/10.

Would you like to have a top website/logo developed?

Then you've come to the right place at Funkhaus!

What I myself find hugely important in a collaboration is good communication. Wout was always very quick in answering my questions and looking for solutions. Everything was always discussed in consultation and there was room for brainstorming and creativity. If something didn't feel 100% right, Wout provided several alternatives until the feeling was completely right. It was also an absolute bonus to receive such positive support as a start-up.

A very nice collaboration resulting in a top website. Go check it out at www.charliesfitstudio.be

I was referred to funkhaus because previous web designer/web host could not accomplish what I had requested . In the end, Wout got special features I needed for my webshop up and running. Everything went smoothly, very good communication.

Wout is also easy to reach in case of questions or problems. I would recommend funkhaus to anyone. Topper!!!

We are very happy with the website Funkhaus created for us. The design is modern and attractive, and the user-friendliness (especially for making changes and adding activities ourselves) is excellent. The service is also very pleasant: in case of questions or changes, the response is quick and helpful. In short, a fine cooperation and a result we are proud of.

Funkhaus designed our website. They heard us well and translated our wishes into something that suits us perfectly. In the process, they continue to help us with topics that are not 'proprietary' for us such as visibility and marketing. The contact is fluid and good. We are fans!

I came to you via a good reference to provide my website for e-commerce. Wout thought along with me about the possibilities and offered an ideal solution, taking into account the budget.

Transparent, professional communication and a very high-quality delivery. Thank you for this!
