How Our Tools Help Prevent Dropouts Before Day One

Engineering candidate dropout is frustrating and costly for businesses. Learn effective strategies to keep candidates engaged and committed until their start date.

Is Engineering Candidate Dropout Keeping You Up at Night?

Picture this: you’ve finally found the perfect candidate for that crucial engineering role. You’re excited and relieved, but then, out of the blue, they back out before their start date. Frustrating, right? You’re not alone—engineering candidate dropout prevention is a challenge that many companies face.

Enter Coburg Banks’ Engineering Recruitment division. We understand how critical it is to keep candidates engaged and committed, ensuring they start on day one as planned. Our tailored approach minimises dropouts and maximises conversion rates, making us your trusted partner in recruitment.

Why Candidates Drop Out Before Their First Day

The excitement of a new hire can quickly turn sour when candidates decide not to show up. But why does this happen?

  • Lack of engagement: Candidates may feel disconnected if they don’t hear from the company between offer acceptance and start date.
  • Better offers: A tempting offer from another company can lead candidates to reconsider their decision.
  • Uncertainty: Without clear communication, candidates might feel unsure about their decision, leading them to back out.

These issues can leave companies scrambling to fill critical roles and disrupt project timelines.

All this adds stress and uncertainty to what should be a straightforward process.
