ATTRACTING TOP TALENT THROUGH CONTENT

Want to recruit top-tier talent? The first step is to create content that will attract them. Your recruitment content should delve from job descriptions to leading marketing and further exploring long-term strategies

BAIT AND CATCH

Hiring is similar to fishing. You need to have something alluring with you to get the potential talent from the wide pool of candidates. You have to get the target candidate from the ocean of job seekers that can meet all your requirements. You need to focus on your bait keeping less focus on the cultural fit and qualification for hiring the best talent.

Leverage your ATS (spreadsheet or inbox) to track the database of past job seekers. Go for PPC campaigns and always keep external and internal referrals into consideration.

BETTER JOB DESCRIPTION

All thanks to new technology, the posting job description is now easier than before. This in a way means that job description has to compete with many other job postings using a similar medium. Then why should job seekers take your job posting into consideration? Focusing on your job description can help you attract a quality candidate. For that, you need to make sure that the job description and employee benefits are clear to the job seekers. Separately, add the desirable skills, salary information and the company’s logo.

SOCIAL PLATFORMS TO ATTRACT

  • Share your company’s culture in the different social medium by sharing your videos.

  • Broadcasting events like employee recognition.

  • Engaging employees in this process by creating employee videos why they love their job.
