On one hand, candidates want to find an employer who values their skills and offers a good salary and benefits. Then there\u2019s you, the employer. You want to attract the best candidates who have the proper experience and who, ideally, see a long future with your organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of marrying these two sides can be lengthy and costly. So imagine getting to the end of the process only to realize you\u2019ve hired the wrong candidate. Or having to repeatedly advertise the same position because you aren\u2019t attracting the right talent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optimizing your recruitment funnel helps to avoid these issues.

That process begins with you advertising a vacancy and ends when a candidate accepts an offer of employment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your funnel will be wide at the advertising stage when you want to attract as many suitable candidates as possible. It then gradually narrows as you move through the hiring process, until you are left with your chosen candidate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A funnel helps you view your process in stages and identify bottlenecks. Each stage has different objectives and outcomes. So, along the way, your HR team can analyze essential metrics from these outcomes to identify future improvements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hiring-process-survey-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Hiring process survey\" class=\"wp-image-45755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hiring-process-survey-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hiring-process-survey-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hiring-process-survey-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Hiring-process-survey.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/survey-reasons-candidates-drop-out-your-hiring-process-oscartemple\/\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-hiring-funnel-metrics\">Hiring funnel metrics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any other part of your business, tracking metrics helps to gauge effectiveness and performance. Your team can use the following metrics to see if the different stages of your hiring funnel are efficient:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Time to hire:<\/strong> This measures the elapsed time between the vacancy appearing and a successful hire. This is also important when you recruit internationally, since these days it&#8217;s common to <a href=\"https:\/\/huntly.ai\/hire-software-developers-in-poland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hire developers in Poland<\/a>, marketers in India, analysts in Mexico, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Candidate conversion rate<\/strong>: How many people applied for the position after seeing your advert?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost per hire:<\/strong> Recruitment comes with many costs, from the initial job ad to onboarding and training, including sales <a href=\"https:\/\/recruiterflow.com\/blog\/recruiter-commission-structure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commission payments for recruitment agencies<\/a> or internal staff involved in hiring processes. So it\u2019s crucial to measure how much each hire costs you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Source<\/strong>: Where did your hire come from? If you advertised on multiple channels, then you want an idea of which one(s) pulls in top talent.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-stages-of-the-recruitment-funnel-\">Stages of the recruitment funnel&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stages-of-the-recruitment-funnel-.png\" alt=\"Stages of the recruitment funnel\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-45756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stages-of-the-recruitment-funnel-.png 940w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stages-of-the-recruitment-funnel--300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Stages-of-the-recruitment-funnel--768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Before you optimize your funnel, you need to understand the different stages. Keep in mind internal hiring stages may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-1-awareness\">1. Awareness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the advertising stage, potential hires first become aware of a vacancy. Just like in traditional marketing, you might advertise in multiple places, including social media platforms, job sites, recruiting agencies like <a href=\"https:\/\/revpilots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revpilots<\/a>, and your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, considering the effectiveness of affiliate marketing could broaden your reach even further, leveraging partnerships with relevant industry influencers or platforms to attract qualified candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/integrations\/categories\/lead-generation\/\">Lead generation automation tools like LeadsBridge<\/a> can integrate your CRM or HR software with advertising platforms like Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn as well as form builder tools. In this way, you can sync any leads you generate with your favorite lead management tool in real time, so you can work on your HR lead nurturing instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lb-dynamic-integration-widget lb-dynamic-integration-widget-block_661ce9b0183ba\">\n        <a class=\"ui-wrapper d-flex flex-column flex-md-row align-items-center no-gutters\" href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/bc\/lb\/facebook-lead-ads\/tenstreet\/\" target=\"_self\">\n            <div class=\"logos d-flex flex-nowrap align-items-center col-auto mb-3 mb-md-0\">\n            <img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo370.png\" alt=\"Facebook Lead Ads logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload\"\/>            <span class=\"plus\">+<\/span><img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo154.png\" alt=\"Tenstreet logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload ml-1\"\/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"description flex-grow-1 col ml-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 text-center text-md-left\">\n            Connect Facebook Lead Ads with Tenstreet automatically\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"cta ml-md-3\">\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-quaternary text-uppercase d-flex\"><span>try free<\/span><\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lb-dynamic-integration-widget lb-dynamic-integration-widget-block_661ce9ce183bb\">\n        <a class=\"ui-wrapper d-flex flex-column flex-md-row align-items-center no-gutters\" href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/bc\/lb\/facebook-lead-ads\/jobadder\/\" target=\"_self\">\n            <div class=\"logos d-flex flex-nowrap align-items-center col-auto mb-3 mb-md-0\">\n            <img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo370.png\" alt=\"Facebook Lead Ads logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload\"\/>            <span class=\"plus\">+<\/span><img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo438.png\" alt=\"JobAdder logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload ml-1\"\/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"description flex-grow-1 col ml-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 text-center text-md-left\">\n            Connect Facebook Lead Ads with JobAdder automatically\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"cta ml-md-3\">\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-quaternary text-uppercase d-flex\"><span>try free<\/span><\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lb-dynamic-integration-widget lb-dynamic-integration-widget-block_661ce9d9183bc\">\n        <a class=\"ui-wrapper d-flex flex-column flex-md-row align-items-center no-gutters\" href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/bc\/lb\/facebook-lead-ads\/avature\/\" target=\"_self\">\n            <div class=\"logos d-flex flex-nowrap align-items-center col-auto mb-3 mb-md-0\">\n            <img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo370.png\" alt=\"Facebook Lead Ads logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload\"\/>            <span class=\"plus\">+<\/span><img data-src=\"http:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/wp-content\/themes\/leadsbridge\/img\/integration-xs-logos\/logo625.png\" alt=\"Avature logo\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload ml-1\"\/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"description flex-grow-1 col ml-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0 text-center text-md-left\">\n            Connect Facebook Lead Ads with Avature automatically\n        <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"cta ml-md-3\">\n                <button type=\"button\" class=\"btn btn-quaternary text-uppercase d-flex\"><span>try free<\/span><\/button>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to outline the role, core responsibilities, desired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickresume.com\/en\/help-center\/skills-on-resume-sample\/\">resume experience and skills<\/a>, required qualifications, and company benefits in your ads. And be specific. For example, if you are hiring call center agents who need to understand basics like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dialpad.com\/blog\/how-to-forward-a-landline-to-a-cellphone\/\">how to call forward on a landline<\/a> or a manager who knows how to optimize call flows, specify this. If you&#8217;re hiring for a local remote role in Germany, add benefits like that you&#8217;re offering access to language courses or language learning apps to <a href=\"https:\/\/migaku.com\/learn-german\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn German<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-2-consideration\">2. Consideration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once applicants are aware of the role, they\u2019ll begin to explore it more seriously. This could include researching your company\u2019s culture and values and assessing the salary package against competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you provide plenty of compelling information and be transparent. For example, will they be classified as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paylocity.com\/resources\/resource-library\/blog-post\/exempt-vs-nonexempt\/\">exempt vs nonexempt<\/a>, do you use a self-service platform, and what flexible benefits do you offer?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-3-interest\">3. Interest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified interested candidates, you need to engage with them. This may include holding pre-screening interviews, offering informal calls, or using <a href=\"https:\/\/execviva.com\/what-is-a-virtual-assistant-and-why-is-it-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual assistant help<\/a> to coordinate outreach, scheduling, and follow-ups so candidates stay engaged and informed throughout the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-4-application\">4. Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be as streamlined and concise as possible here. You don\u2019t want a complicated process that dissuades potential hires. Provide clear instructions as to what\u2019s needed, including cover letters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tealhq.com\/tools\/resume-builder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resumes<\/a>, or certificates, and ensure the application form is straightforward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-5-selection-\">5. Selection&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you will select the best candidates for the role and invite them for an interview. Keep in mind this stage may involve multiple rounds of interviews with different team members or asking a candidate to complete a task specific to the job role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once everyone agrees, you can move on to hiring and onboarding your new team member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-6-ways-to-optimize-your-recruitment-funnel-\">6 ways to optimize your recruitment funnel&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the above metrics and stages in mind, how can you begin to optimize your hiring funnel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-1-define-your-funnel\">1. Define your funnel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to ensure that your framework is well-defined and meets your actual needs. It should also be customizable to different scenarios.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your funnel may look slightly different when dealing with different roles. In some stages, you may vary approaches when looking for a delivery driver as opposed to an expert on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigcommerce.com\/articles\/ecommerce\/composable-commerce\/\">composable eCommerce<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-2-involve-relevant-stakeholders\">2. Involve relevant stakeholders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your recruitment funnel shouldn\u2019t exist in an HR vacuum. Actively involving employees in decision-making is a crucial part of human capital management (HCM). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paylocity.com\/resources\/resource-library\/blog-post\/what-is-human-capital-management\/\">What is HCM<\/a>? It\u2019s the process of helping employees grow with your company to create a productive workplace \u2013&nbsp;and a culture you\u2019ll want to pass down to new employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your funnel as transparent as possible means different stakeholders will feel empowered in the hiring process and can contribute at different stages when needed.&nbsp;Turning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alphaapexgroup.com\/blog\/human-capital-management-consultants-consulting-firms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HCM consultants<\/a> can help teams work together more effectively and ensure hiring decisions support both employee growth and the company\u2019s long-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-3-balance-automation\">3. Balance automation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where possible, look at how automation can help your funnel be more efficient. Automation can be beneficial in industries from <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/healthcare-marketing-automation\/\">healthcare<\/a> to eCommerce.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/generative-AI-in-recruitment.jpeg\" alt=\"generative AI in recruitment\" class=\"wp-image-45757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/generative-AI-in-recruitment.jpeg 890w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/generative-AI-in-recruitment-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/generative-AI-in-recruitment-768x511.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scede.io\/blog\/10-ways-to-use-generative-ai-in-recruitment\/\">Source<\/a><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A good example of this is in the application stage. If you have a large number of candidates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carv.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI-powered tools<\/a> can help scan and narrow down selections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it&#8217;s crucial to differentiate between <a href=\"https:\/\/keyhole.co\/blog\/reach-vs-impressions\/\">reach vs impression<\/a> metrics, especially in the initial stages of candidate engagement. While &#8216;reach&#8217; signifies the total number of potential candidates exposed to your job ad, &#8216;impressions&#8217; reflect how many times your ad was actually viewed. Understanding this difference can refine your targeting strategies and optimize your advertising budget accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, AI can also help to assess candidates\u2019 experiences of your funnel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-4-standardize-the-process\">4. Standardize the process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you should be able to customize stages according to the needs of that particular vacancy, you must standardize your funnel. Each step should have defined procedures that will make the funnel easier to manage and easier to collect metrics from. Standardization should also apply to how you treat candidates and should recognize factors such as diversity. Whenever it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/alcor-bpo.com\/software-developers-recruitment-agency\/\">software development staffing<\/a>, marketers, copywriter staffing, etc., a standardized recruitment funnel is the key to a successful hiring process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"13-5-streamline-where-possible\">5. Streamline where possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re a large organization, you don\u2019t want your funnel to become large and unwieldy. Minimize time and effort for both the candidate and staff involved in the hiring process. If you\u2019re hiring internationally, for example, you might consider expediting the process via a tool such as <a href=\"https:\/\/remote.com\/country-explorer\/india\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Remote\u2019s India EOR<\/a>. Look at areas of your funnel that can be simplified \u2013&nbsp;that can include the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/blog\/small-business-automation\/\">automation<\/a> where possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-6-analyze-and-take-action\">6. Analyze and take action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of candidates like your customers, and ensure their experience throughout the recruitment journey is positive. This is why assessing their journey through the funnel is so important. If there are any pain points identified, take steps to eliminate or mitigate them in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lb-banner lb-banner-42918\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leadsbridge.com\/signup\" title=\"signup\" target=\"_self\">\n    <picture>\n                <source media=\"(max-width:767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 2x\">\n                        <source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 2x\">\n        <img data-src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload objectfit lazypreload\"\/>\n                <noscript>\n                        <source media=\"(max-width:767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up_Mobile.png 2x\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png 2x\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Sign-Up.png\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload objectfit lazypreload\"\/>\n                    <\/noscript>\n    <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-the-takeaway\">The takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A properly optimized recruitment funnel ensures a more positive experience for candidates. It\u2019s the lead generation strategy you need to create a strong, satisfied team comprising top talent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Streamlining your hiring funnel isn\u2019t just about understanding where you\u2019re going wrong. It\u2019s about monitoring metrics, involving stakeholders, engaging with candidates, and leveraging technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this approach, you\u2019ll be sure to have a streamlined system that attracts talent from start to end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, taking advantage of automation tools will save your team considerable time in consolidating steps in the funnel and generating leads more effectively. When you\u2019ve defined stages and identified stakeholders, look for tools and software that will integrate with your existing systems and external platforms like job boards to truly optimize the entire recruitment funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.com\/integrations\/categories\/hr-recruitment\/\">Learn more about LeadsBridge integrations for HR &amp; recruitment software<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lb-banner lb-banner-41337\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/activeprospect.com\/resources\/a-guide-to-marketing-automation-with-leadsbridge\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_self\">\n    <picture>\n                <source media=\"(max-width:767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Mobile-LB-AP23.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Mobile-LB-AP23.png 2x\">\n                        <source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Desktop-LB-AP23.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Desktop-LB-AP23.png 2x\">\n        <img data-src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Desktop-LB-AP23.png\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload objectfit lazypreload\"\/>\n                <noscript>\n                        <source media=\"(max-width:767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Mobile-LB-AP23.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Mobile-LB-AP23.png 2x\">\n                                    <source srcset=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Desktop-LB-AP23.png 1x, https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Desktop-LB-AP23.png 2x\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leadsbridge.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Whitepaper-Desktop-LB-AP23.png\" class=\"img-fluid lazyload objectfit lazypreload\"\/>\n                    <\/noscript>\n    <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two sides to recruitment.
