Improving Hiring Outcomes

A Comprehensive Guide to the Modern Candidate Funnel

Hiring is no longer just about attracting candidates. It’s about controlling how they move through your hiring process. Many organizations lose qualified talent not because of market shortages, but because of hidden breakdowns inside of their candidate funnel.  

Outdated workflows, misaligned technology, and poorly governed automation can quietly filter out strong candidates, slow decision-making, and increase risk. 

MEA’s toolkit provides employers with a practical, step-by-step framework to evaluate, optimize, and manage their entire candidate funnel.
