3 Strategies to Build Successful Recruitment Campaigns

The aim of a job ad is to encourage the highest number of high-caliber candidates to click and apply. That’s the only moment of truth for a job ad. However, since studies have shown that an ad is only one piece of the puzzle, now is the time to stop playing the odds with talent sourcing? Candidates will be more likely to click and apply when you actively publish more online about your brand.

The majority of people – 75% – are passive candidates, who could be tempted to apply for a new job if the right opportunity came along. Even if you aren’t recruiting for certain roles right now, creating an inbound talent pipeline means you will have hundreds more resumes on file than taking the reactive approach to recruitment.

Winning the war for talent means bypass your competitors to find the best people, then recruiting them. This means using the three following strategies, with their respective measures of success:

Social media content. But don’t limit this to Facebook and LinkedIn. Distribute your content far and wide, beyond the obvious places. Make your job ads stand out, with eye-catching headlines, a few selling points about the company, the work the successful candidate would be doing while measuring the click-through rates for employer branding and recruitment campaigns.

With this content, create an inbound talent pipeline, with the measurement being the number of candidates who apply. Gradually build a database of viable candidates, while focusing on long-term employer branding value. Track where your candidates come from with sourcing analysis, and manage your candidates through CRM / talent pool capabilities like Smart Recruiters.

Assess candidate quality. Recruitment has been a subjective art. Hiring is as much about gut feeling and cultural fit as a candidate’s skills and experiences. Increasingly, quantitative data is being used to assess potential hires. Scoring candidates against a range of measures is the best way to assess the effectiveness of recruitment and employer branding campaigns, giving you a clear indication that this approach is having a positive impact. Implement candidate evaluation scorecards for your recruiting teams and hiring managers, so you can in a structured way evaluate both candidate skills and cultural fit.

Ready Build Campaigns Through Social Networks?

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...
