My mantra for 2018 is simple, but that didn't stop one of my friends from arguing with me about it. Anyway, if you're serious about better recruiting, start with this mindset.
All those lovely reports you get after your ad spend happens sure make it seem like "stuff happened." But unless you understand attribution and connect it your the intent of your ad spend, they mean nothing. Don't let that happen to you! Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-8V
Expecting kids straight out of college to know what jobs they can do or should do is insane. But that's what's happening, leading to a glut of unqualified applicants spamming our ATS's and trouble identifying great candidates. But that's something we can fix.
If job descriptions are the heart of the entire recruiting and hiring process, why are they so bad? In this episode, we start with the "why" and figure out how to use some cool tech to make job descriptions suck less. Then we reach for the stars and find ways to make them actually work Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-8F
I know how much fun it is t pick new toys and tools to help you fix your talent issues. But too many companies start with the tech rather than a strategy and burn through piles of cash. Don't do that. Show Notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-7a
If your going to invest in your employer brand, the first thing your boss is going to ask is how you'll measure it. In this episode, we look at ways to measure and evaluate your employer brand without having to invest in anything extra. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-70
Do you love your ATS? Do your candidates? Of course not. But until now, they have been a necessary evil. No longer! The world is shifting to one in which a candidate should never even see the ATS, so how will you compete for talent then. It isn't science fiction or the latest HBO series: a world without ATSs is here. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-6R
The best way to hire talent isn't to make videos or ebooks or super-funny job postings. It isn't about social media or LinkedIn or Glassdoor. The most important element is being clear and destroying uncertainty. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-6L
You might be inclined to set some big goals and launch some big projects to impact your employer brand, but a smarter strategy might be to think small. Show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-6B
As we wind down the year, let us celebrate that most amazing of holidays: Festivus! In this episode, we skip the feats of strength and gather around the aluminum pole to air our grievances. I'm guessing you will hear things you are annoyed by, too. And I also list a whole load of things I love, just to balance things out. Complete show notes: http://wp.me/p806sS-6q
