How does your candidate experience stack up?

Candidate experience is more than just NPS surveys and shepherding candidates through a process. A recruitment journey offers an array of opportunities to share information about your organisation, to surprise and delight a candidate and start to foster engagement and excitement before they’ve even entered the business. 

Many companies are missing out on these opportunities and with the levels of dropoff seen in today’s candidate market larger than ever, even just a few tweaks can have a noticeable impact on ROI and time to hire measures. 

Our free, no-commitment Candidate Experience Assessment help identify some of those opportunities. We’ll go through your current hiring journey like a real candidate and give you honest, practical feedback on areas that we judge to be critical to success in the current marketplace.

Who Are Lamplighter and What do We do?

Lamplighter Digital is a Marketing Agency specialising in Recruitment Marketing, sometimes called Talent Attraction (or various other terms!). 

Lamplighter is based in Birmingham and was created by me, Steven. I’m a Digital Marketing expert with a passion getting the right talent into the right jobs and helping both organisation and candidate in their pursuit of success.

I have worked with large, FTSE 250 brands, helping them build a talent attraction strategy that defines and showcases Employer Brand, finds and targets the right talent and build engaging processes to seamlessly facilitate its entry into the business while reducing agency spend and driving better ROI for TA budgets.

I’m a huge advocate for great Candidate Experiences, believing that engaging every candidate like a customer brings a wealth of operational and commercial benefits down the line. 

And a great candidate experience needn’t be an out-there, ‘interview in an Escape Room’ type process. It simply needs to be a smooth journey, built around honest and clear company values so that well-aligned candidates are excited to apply, are happy and proud employees from day one and are driven to succeed within your company for years to come.

Free Audit FAqs

AI search is when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overview, or other assistants for recommendations, for example, “What’s the best accountant in Solihull?” or “Where can I find a good SEO consultant near me?”

These assistants will generate answers to these queries based on the information it can pull from across the web, including business websites, review sites and directories. 

Not at all. The report is written in plain English, designed for business owners, not developers.

We’ll also present the findings to you on a follow up call, giving you the chance to ask any questions you have and get as much clarity as you need.

It’s genuinely free for Chamber of Commerce members – no hidden costs and no commitments.

We’ve spent a lot of time learning how AI will impact traditional SEO, search trends and how customers come to interact with businesses in the future.

We really want to help local businesses improve their visibility with AI, so we’re offering this free audit to highlight where they should focus and offer our services if they would like to improve in this area.  

Not at all. The audit and consultation come with no expectations on our part.

Whether you decide to implement the recommendations yourself, with your team, or with another provider is entirely up to you.

However, we would love to work with you if you were looking to launch a project to improve your GEO and/or SEO.

We’ll aim to have your audit complete within 3 – 5 working days. If your website is large or especially complex, it may take a little longer but we’ll keep you informed.

Once we have completed your audit, we’ll send you some times for a follow up call to go through the results. 

All we need are a few basic details – your name and your business name, a contact email address, your website URL and a brief description of the industry/business you work in. 

Absolutely. In fact, small businesses have the most to gain because AI search levels the playing field. It often prioritises clarity and relevance over size or budget so there is a huge opportunity to compete in a way that traditional search often makes difficult.
