After an interview, a follow-up email to your candidates can do wonders for your recruiting efforts.
Maintaining communication with your candidates keeps them engaged while respecting and appreciating them after setting aside time for you. Taking a proactive approach to follow-up emails can also help you land better talent. While not all recruiters may have the time to write individual follow-up emails, understanding the art of writing a template can help.

Follow-Up Email

After an interview, send the ideal candidate a follow-up email. <ul><li>Subject line: Write the purpose of the email. Keep it formal and concise. For example, "Follow-up on your interview." or "Thank you for your time this morning."</li><li>Intro: Mention the person by name. Thank them for their time/follow up with something that came up during the interview.</li><li>Body: In about 100 words, deliver on your subject line.</li><li>Closing. End the email on a positive note. For example, "Thanks again", "Let's stay in touch!".</li></ul>

A Recruiting Must-Know: How to Write a Candidate Follow-Up Email

We make decisions every day, many of which are so straightforward that we hardly notice we are making them. But we tend to struggle when uncertainty is a probability.Humans generally use two decision-making strategies when faced with uncertainty: exploitation and exploration. Exploitation involves frequently choosing options that are familiar and provide a higher certainty of reward. Exploration involves trying out choices that are unfamiliar. In an uncertain and changing environment, it is thought that the best strategy is to <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/npp2017108">flexibly alternate </a>between exploration and exploitation.

Fighting Against Uncertainty With Reason.

We have to pump in more thoughts and clues to decide rightly in chaos and turmoil.

How uncertainty can impair our ability to make rational decisions

True callings magically and seamlessly weave all the parts of ourselves together into a cohesive sense of rightness. Keep in mind this simple wisdom: Temporary visions can swallow us whole. True callings make us whole. Finding your calling can provide a sense of wholeness and rightness that breathes life into the deepest, truest voice within you. When in the throws of following a vision, it can be easy to assume you’ve found your callings

True Callings Make Us Whole

Avoiding deception and ignorance in mind leads to more confidence and vigor in us.

You manifested your vision, and now you're living your deepest calling. Or, at least, that's what you tell yourself. But you don't sleep well.

Sometimes You Have to Ditch Your Vision to Discover Your Calling

Without plans and goals, organizations merely react to daily occurrences without considering what will happen in the long run. For example, the solution that makes sense in the short term doesn't always make sense in the long term. Plans avoid this drift situation and ensure that short‐range efforts will support and harmonize with future goals.

Gives an organization a sense of direction.

Plans keep the people who carry them out focused on the anticipated results. In addition, keeping sight of the goal also motivates employees

Focuses attention on objectives and results. 

Diverse groups cannot effectively cooperate in joint projects without an integrated plan. Examples are numerous: Plumbers, carpenters, and electricians cannot build a house without blueprints. In addition, military activities require the coordination of Army, Navy, and Air Force units.

Establishes a basis for teamwork.

When management plans, it can help forecast future problems and make any necessary changes up front to avoid them. Of course, surprises — such as the 1973 quadrupling of oil prices — can always catch an organization short, but many changes are easier to forecast. Planning for these potential problems helps to minimize mistakes and reduce the “surprises” that inevitably occur.

Helps anticipate problems and cope with change

Decisions are future‐oriented. If management doesn't have any plans for the future, they will have few guidelines for making current decisions. If a company knows that it wants to introduce a new product three years in the future, its management must be mindful of the decisions they make now. Plans help both managers and employees keep their eyes on the big picture.

Provides guidelines for decision making. 

Planning is primary, because without knowing what an organization wants to accomplish, management can't intelligently undertake any of the other basic managerial activities: organizing, staffing, leading, and/or controlling.

Prerequisite to employing all other management function

Recognizing the Advantages of Planning

The most common mistake people make is <a href="https://www.inc.com/peter-economy/9-ways-amazing-leaders-demonstrate-real-authenticity-every-day.html">to confuse their self-worth with their accomplishments.</a>

Never confuse who you are with what you do

What you say to yourself matters more than what the entire world together says about you.

Master your inner dialogue

When the storms of life start tossing you around like a toy, you need an anchor--something you can cling to when all seems hopeless.

Learn to live in the moment

Find the handful of people who will support you no matter what, invest your time and energy in strengthening those relationships.

Fortify your village, then build a moat

The time to "hurricane proof" your life isn't when the shingles start to fly off the roof, but when the sky is still blue and sunny."Work on your self-image, inner dialogue, present-moment awareness, and key relationships now."

Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared

It's so easy to forget how you can maintain your mental health.  That's why I like these short bits of inspirational reminders.

Want to Build Unbeatable Mental Toughness? Here Are 5 Surprisingly Effective Ways

50% of a person’s happiness is determined by their genetic makeup, researchers discovered. A new study considers the roles both nature and nurture play in a person’s happiness.

Nature & Nurture

The self-help industry is booming, fuelled by research on positive psychology – the scientific study of what makes people flourish. At the same time, the rates of anxiety, depression and self-harm continue to soar worldwide. So are we doomed to be unhappy, despite these advances in psychology?

Doomed To Be Unhappy?

According to an <a href="http://sonjalyubomirsky.com/wp-content/themes/sonjalyubomirsky/papers/LSS2005.pdf">influential article</a> published in Review of General Psychology in 2005, 50% of people’s happiness is determined by their genes, 10% depends on their circumstances and 40% on “intentional activity” (mainly, whether you’re positive or not). This so-called happiness pie put positive-psychology acolytes in the driving seat, allowing them to decide on their happiness trajectory. (Although, the unspoken message is that if you are unhappy, it’s your own fault.)

Why Some People Find It Harder to Be Happy - Neuroscience News

In 1967 a 49-year-old man went missing in Osaka. According to the family of the missing man, after the great changes in Japan he was unable to find his way in the dynamically developing society. There were many rumours about the missing man's alleged debts to usurers. The investigation into his disappearance was closed after 19 hours by the police and resumed a decade later without any results.

Ed Batista, a Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer, has worked with many executives in his career and the one problem that is most evident to him is that many executives and CEOs experience people problems.

People Problems

The hell of life is that everyone has their reasons

We often find ourselves assuming about the reasons why people behave the way they behave but we fail to ask "why do I find their behavior maddening or frustrating?"  We have to slow down and remind ourselves that everyone has their own reasons for their behavior and as leaders we must allow ourselves to empathize and learn if there is something we can do about it.

Mitigating Assumption in People's Behavior

Here are some questions you can use to explore about a person's behavior:<ul><li>What are their beliefs and assumptions? Can I allow that information to inform how I approach them?</li><li>Can I take a broader perspective on what might be driving them? What impulses or reasoning might be informing their behavior?</li><li>Am I creating a condition that they are finding the need to adapt to that I might find frustrating?</li><li>Is there something I can do to change how I'm showing up and influence the environment in which this other person is operating?</li></ul>
