Here’s a scenario that happens way too often.  A company buys a brand-new shiny piece of software that they are really excited about all the functionality and think will have a great impact on their organization.  They implement it with their providers help and then a few months later it’s sitting their available but most of the product goes unused.

Does this sound familiar?  No matter if you are large or small this has probably happened at a company you’ve worked for and may be…

The evolution of the Career Site has occurred rapidly over the last decade.  Career Sites are no longer (or should no longer) be static job pages linked together by a single homepage but really act as your recruiting hub for engaging and interfacing with candidates about your company and employment opportunities.

Candidates no longer just want a job search for open positions (although that’s a necessity) but they want to learn about your company and culture so they can make an…

Every year one of my favorite sports days of the year is the NBA Draft mostly because I like to think like I’m a GM (usually of the Celtics).  I’ve seen the players play in college, read the scouting reports, listen to the trade rumors and know enough to make it a fun exercise in critical thinking.  And while the NBA Draft is it’s own unique event,  it is not all that much different from what recruitment…

Corporate recruiters are posed this question every day.  However, in today's recruiting environment the answer is becoming more and more complex.  Not only are recruiters being continuously bombarded with new positions that need to be filled quickly with top quality talent but they are presented with a slew of options to use in order to recruit and source this talent that makes it even more confusing.  (Not to mention trying to track all these sources with…

Yesterday as I was reading Glen Cathey’s post “What’s Wrong with Job Boards?“.  In the post, he talks about job boards and how they can still be effective despite what you might hear about their impending demise.  I encourage you to give it a read.

However, what intrigued me about the post is the Source of Hire Snobbery section.  What Glen says is true, just because a candidate…

Recruiting is not just a quality game but it’s a numbers game as well. For any large to medium size organization recruiting is a continuous cycle of engaging and trying to find that right candidate for an open position.

Unless you have a dedicated sourcing team that proactively goes to find candidates that fit your organization, you are most likely relying on a recruitment advertising strategy of trying to reach the right candidates. With these initiatives, you are really…

Lately I’ve been watching a number of presentations by recruiting and sourcing professionals on their recruitment marketing strategy and how they are able to drive success at their organizations.   Most if not all have a technology component that helps them drive innovation in their process.

With many of these organizations, they’ve been able to determine a successful recruiting strategy through a few key steps.  Here is my simplified…

When evaluating the success of your recruitment sourcing strategy, it’s important not to only focus on the final results in terms of time to hire and cost per hire but ultimately look at how you ultimately ended up with these results.  In the end, you want to determine what strategies and sources contributed to your success and what ones were not worth your time.  All so you can improve your strategy for…

I’ve been writing a lot on about the candidate experience over the past several weeks and one question I’ve been getting a good deal is “where should I start?”  I tend to throw out a lot of things you can do to improve about the candidate experience and realize that it would be helpful to focus on a few that I think are some of the most important.

And while I think…

When building out your Career Site, it’s important to think about how candidates will navigate all the great content that you’ve created.  The strategy of “publish and pray” will do little to inspire candidates to apply to your organization and make the decision that they want to work for your company.

Just like any website, the Career Site can often become an albatross that can become unwieldy and unmanageable.  With much of the thought into information flow and site design…

When you look at all the content you create in your recruitment marketing strategy it exists in a…
