With careful management, regional and global search engines can drive substantial traffic to your career portal
Internet
There are now thousands of online job boards – some covering geographic areas, others specific industries – that generate good applicants. Recruiters are also taking advantage of forums and blogs to push potential candidates to their career portals.
With careful management, regional and global search engines can drive substantial traffic to your career portal.
Intranet
Internet aside, the Intranet too is used to create awareness amongst existing staff about new career opportunities. This generates employee referrals, helps retain existing talent by allowing them to grow and reduces staff turnover.
As no one recruitment source is necessarily better than another, everything from newspapers and recruitment agencies to job boards and blogs are powerful hiring tools.
To capture the best talent you need to:
- Be able to use any or all of the available recruitment channels
- Have tools to evaluate which are best for specific vacancy types or geographies
Career portal
Once a corporate career portal is in place, detailed information about the job, and the skills and experience required, are available online. This provides marketing departments with an excellent opportunity to use job adverts to focus on selling the company brand and entice applicants to find the details online and learn about them as a potential employer. This career brand building exercise ensures top candidates apply to you first.
Recruitment mix
These new methods in conjunction with traditional recruiting methods reach out to a wider audience, generating quality applicants in larger numbers. Modern solutions then quickly identify the most suitable candidates saving recruiters’ time.
