Weekly Article
A
Telescopic View of On-Line Recruitment
By Mark
Anderson
In many ways, it seems as though we have always had
the Internet. Even for most of those who swore they
would never get caught up in it, the memories of going
to the study to grab an encyclopedia for a quick
research question are distant. Everywhere you look and
every thing you see is highlighting some sort of Website
address. Virtually every aspect of life is being driven
to one Internet destination or another. Whether you are
ordering food, looking for a good book, banking, or
buying insurance, everything can be done from the
comfort of home via the World Wide Web. It is certainly
no secret that people have been and are continuing to
flock to the Internet by the droves. According to Pew
Internet, 70% of the U.S. population is now on line, 50%
of which have high-speed Internet access.
What does this mean to on-line recruitment? It means
that you can get your job advertisement recruitment
message in front of qualified potential candidates
faster and easier than ever before. There are various
ways of accomplishing this objective.
The first and most obvious way to use the Internet as
a recruitment vehicle, is to make sure that you have an
effective job board strategy in place. Job Boards such
as Monster, HotJobs, and CareerBuilder along with niche
and local sites are still and will continue to be the
primary on line recruitment vehicle for most positions.
With focus and singularity of purpose, job boards
provide the most inexpensive method of getting your jobs
in front of “job seekers”.
Before leaping out of the box to launch an assault on
the passive candidates, it is important that an
effective job board strategy first be employed. However,
while job boards are the best vehicle for reaching “job
seekers”, they are not going to help reach those ideal
qualified people who are the perfect candidates, but are
gainfully and happily employed. Loyal, hardworking,
effective people often have great job security and don’t
have the time or the desire to browse job boards.
Attracting these types of people is where it takes
the same creativity and targeted profiling that have
been used by corporate giants in America for years in
marketing their products or services to potential
customers. There are various methods for utilizing the
Internet to reach potential candidates: targeted email
campaigns, buttons, banners, tiles, skyscrapers, “pop-unders”,
etc., and those are just the basics. A great thing about
the Internet, is that as it has developed and grown in
functionality and popularity, so has the sophistication
of the tracking and profiling capabilities used by the
various Websites. What this allows for, is getting your
message in front of only the candidates you are wanting
to target.
There are various techniques for establishing exactly
what that profile is, but a few have proven to be more
effective than others. One of the best of these
techniques, is through the construction of profiles
based on the most successful individuals within your
organization. This is far from a new concept, but
exactly what type of profile you are building is very
important. For the targeted reach that the Internet can
provide, it is important that you talk extensively to
your “A players” as to how they use the Internet. Are
they all utilizing on-line banking services? Do they all
regularly visit Weather.com? Are they playing games
on-line? Do they check their stocks on a particular
site? Do they tune in daily to Dilbert.com for the
cartoon of the day? You might be surprised.
By determining where and when your top performers are
spending their “on-line” time, along with how often they
frequent these destinations, you can start crafting your
strategy for reaching out to individuals who share this
profile.
The Internet is not a fad. It is here and it is here
to stay. The challenge is in how you harness the full
capabilities of the web to get your message in front of
your target audience, in this case, potential employment
candidates. While print is still a viable marketing
outlet in some cases, it is quickly becoming to
advertising what the Encyclopedia has become to
research. As the markets rebound and hiring growth
returns to normal levels, it will become increasingly
important to have a strategy in place to reach out to
both active “job seekers” and passive ideal candidates.
The good news is that thanks to the reach made possible
by the Internet, you can now get your job advertisement
recruitment message in front of qualified potential
candidates faster and easier than ever before.
