Your First Impression Isn’t in the Interview. By the time someone shows up to the interview, it’s already too late to make a first impression. That moment happens much earlier, in your lobby. Think of it like a property walk-through: From the curb to the entryway, every detail shapes perception. Candidates are walking through your company long before the interview, through: -Your job post and careers page (digital curb appeal) -Initial recruiter/hiring manager reach-outs and messaging (the front door) -Video screens/intro calls (the main hallway) And in every one of those early moments, they’re asking themselves: “Is this the right place for me and the kind of home I want to grow in?” They’re not just evaluating the job title or salary. They’re trying to answer deeper questions: Will I feel a sense of belonging here? Does this team understand who I am and where I’m headed? Can I build something meaningful, not just clock in and out? Every interaction from a listing to a live conversation reinforces that sense of home and forward momentum… Or makes them quietly keep walking. And the people who guide that experience? -Leasing professionals and sales reps -Interviewers and hiring managers -Brand and marketing team members They’re not just doing a job but defining your brand in real time. In a previous post, I laid out the bigger structure behind intentional hiring. This one focuses on the lobby and how the positions you rely on most already shape your candidate experience from the very first step. 📖 Please check out the full blog post here to read further: https://lnkd.in/e7PY__xG #Firstimpressions #CandidateExperience #Property #Housing #JMLSearch
