The process necessarily involves reflection, honesty and rigorousness. If we are not honest (as well as precise) with ourselves and candidates we are destined to lose any credibility we have - particularly with the Millenials. I agree with your comment wholeheartedly.

I would add only: Be realistic about where your company fits in the landscape. I can't tell you the number of HR people who describe their benefits package as "excellent", as you say, but are identical (and in some cases worse) than every other company. When I point this out and ask what the "excellent" part is, they get a little huffy and offended. "It is better that you get upset at me and think about this now," I often say, "than to say the same thing to the candidate and have them come to the conclusion that you're not being truthful with them." Dan Amen!
