RECRUITMENT IS MARKETING AND BRANDING

One of the biggest challenges facing the recruitment sector across the world is the looming skills shortage. Recruitment solutions are now being tailored and developed to create an effective resource of talent that can be used to fill the skills gap. HR managers are starting to look at recruitment solutions in terms of branding and marketing and this paradigm shift is having the most impact on skills and talent recruiting.

Being a “premium employer” is not enough anymore to attract the best talent and new skills into the workforce. Recruitment solutions are more assertive, better planned and use the latest technology and HR software to make a difference. You need to start looking at HR managers who have marketing and branding experience to truly make an impact on your most important resource: your employees.

BETTER RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS

·         Continual recruitment: recruitment should become an ongoing process that is focused on the future potential and not current needs. Creating a talent pool using e-recruitment and HR software is one of the most important strategies when it comes to attracting talent.

·         Keep them on the hook: Don’t let a potential candidate slip through your talent pool net. Make sure that they are kept appraised on what is happening in your business. Just because you don’t have a position available for them right now, does not mean that they will not be needed in a year. Keep your talent pool fresh and use e-recruitment strategies and marketing to keep on building your database of potential employees.

·         Use your network: The new generation of employees uses social networking and business networking as a referral system of sorts. Tap into that market and get people talking about your business as part of a network. Blogging, emailing and social networks are vital in the race for recruitment solutions.

The skills race is on and every wise HR manager is using every possible manner of recruitment solutions to make sure that their business thrives and grows in the global economy.

What are the most frequently asked Behavioral Interview Questions? Behavioral interview questions are a big part of most job interviews. Employers and hiring managers use these types of questions in order to get an idea if you have the skills and competencies needed for the job. The rationale is that if they know how you performed in the past it will help give a sense of how you might do in the future. For you as the candidate, you’ll need to prepare answers (basically “interview stories”) that highlight the different competencies and skill sets the employer is looking for. The problem is most candidates might have a general idea of how to answer these questions, but the answers usually come out way too long and unfocused, and won’t put the candidate in the best light. That’s why you’ll need to make a concerted effort to create these stories and adapt them to the relevant competencies. Below is a list of some common behavioral...
The 4 Myths About Job Hunting Myth 1: You have to know exactly what you want to do before you start applying for jobs If you’re one of those who left university with no idea what you wanted to do, don’t panic – you’re not alone! Unless your degree has set you up to enter a specialist industry, you’re not expected to know exactly what you want to do. So, where should you start? Begin by thinking about where your strengths lay and from there the types of jobs that you’d be best suited to. For example, do you like working in a team or on your own? Do you want to be behind the scenes or out in the thick of it interacting with people? Think about what you enjoyed about your degree and any previous work experience you have, then make a short list of what you liked, along with your key strengths. Once all this is in front of you, you can then start to translate your strengths and likes into a job that’s tailored to you. Myth 2: You have to find your perfect job now ...
5 Things You Have to Remember to Do Before Sending Your Resume. If you could choose between a beautifully tailored outfit designed to fulfil all of your fashion dreams or a ready-to-wear baggy tee from some random retailer, which would you pick? That’s a rhetorical question. You’d obviously want that tailored outfit. Did I mention it comes with bespoke pockets? Well, it does. In the age of personalization, we want everything to be made to fit us. So, why would we expect a hiring manager to want anything different when they get a   stack of resumes   in response to a job offer? Whenever a hiring manager posts a job offer, they receive 250+ other resumes on average in response. From that pile, they need to find the one diamond that shines brighter than all the others. How can you expect your resume to shine bright like a diamond? If you send in a generic resume that you didn’t tailor to the job offer? You can’t. Plain and simple. I know, you p...
