Modern recruitment strategies
4 great tips:
1. Make use of online search features
By posting your vacancies on portals like LinkedIn, you have the opportunity to see the candidates who have read your post. This gives you insight into the potential candidates who might need an extra push to apply for a job at your company. With Elvium's chrome extension, you can also find candidates on LinkedIn and pull them into your recruitment system.
2. Expand your social media profile
If you're looking for young innovative talent in modern society, you need to make your company visible on social media. This means creating a Facebook profile for your company, a blog to keep the dialog going, and perhaps a Twitter account to keep potential candidates updated on the latest company developments. It creates a good image for the company. Using social media in recruitment is more important than ever, as new talent often finds jobs on LinkedIn, Facebook etc.
3. Go mobile
It's also important that your company has a user-friendly profile that can be easily shared on social media. That way, candidates can view all your jobs on the go (preferably without having to download an app).
Elvium's recruitment system offers a professional and mobile interface that invites candidates in. Smart and fast, candidates can create a profile via LinkedIn or Facebook and apply for the job without cumbersome entries.
4. Work detailed and focused with your employer brand
Your company's social media image has a huge impact on recruitment. A strong employer brand can attract potential candidates and motivate them to apply for positions with you. Work to highlight your company culture, employee benefits, and success stories from current employees. Use photos, videos and engage in relevant discussions to show what it's like to work at your company. Give an authentic insight into the workplace and you'll attract candidates who fit well with your company culture and values. Remember, people want to work for companies they can relate to and admire. Your employer brand is your chance to show why your company is a great place to work.
