3 Ways Technology Can Help You Find the Best Talent . . . First
In our ultra-competitive business environment, having a great company culture is not always enough. It is critical to proactively shine a light on what makes you different from the competition. Today, smart recruiting professionals channel this and go beyond simply asserting, "We're a great company to work for." They are differentiating themselves with talent acquisition technologies that allow them to successfully vie for candidates in today's heated up employment marketplace. Today's cloud-based technologies can drive powerful results for businesses looking to fill positions, and in ways that might surprise you, including:
1. Maximizing Recruitment Advertising Returns.
With technology, you can dramatically streamline your use of third-party job board postings and other recruitment marketing techniques while maximizing your return. For example, automated job posting tools allow businesses to post jobs to multiple third-party job boards, schedule communications in advance, and report in real time on source effectiveness. Social-enabled job distribution tools give hiring managers the ability to source, recruit, and hire talent through social networks, affordably maximizing employment brand reach and fueling valuable employee referral.
2. Connecting with Candidates Early in the Pipeline.
Recent research found that the majority of candidates agree that the professionalism, look, and feel of a company's career portal is a moderately to highly important factor in deciding whether to apply for a job within the organization. Your portal can also allow potential candidates to opt in through social media to subscribe to recruitment communications, building out your talent pool for future hiring needs.
3. Making the Most of Interviews.
Leverage a cost-effective method that streamlines candidate screening: video. Many recruiters are now offering candidates the opportunity to record a video as part of the application process. This is not only helpful for businesses as it provides hiring managers a view into a candidate's style and demeanor, but it is a feature that enables candidates to stand out among other applicants and give them an edge.
Businesses need every available advantage in this increasingly competitive market for best-fit talent. Smart talent acquisition technology can be the secret weapon that enables you to engage top talent by connecting with candidates early, often, and in a manner that distinguishes your company from the field.
