Weekly Article
Harnessing the Internet
By The David Group

Sure, you could use the Internet as another means of broadcasting your job openings. However, by simply posting your openings on a job board, you are not benefiting from the unique capability of the Internet — interactive communication. Instead, harness the power of the Internet to raise awareness of your organization as an employer and establish and maintain communication with potential recruits. The reward for choosing this strategy over simply posting jobs online is reaching today's most coveted candidates — passive job seekers.

Your Employment Site: Build the Foundation
Most Internet-savvy job seekers — passive and active — eventually make their way to your employment site. In addition to content and graphic appeal, remember to consider response time and ease of navigation when designing your site. A site that does not provide relevant information quickly and effectively will not leave its visitors with a good first impression of the site or your company.

To capture the interest of passive job seekers, your employment site should highlight employer attributes that strengthen your appeal to target candidates. Promoting your strengths can differentiate you from a passive job seeker's current employer. Capture visitors' information while they are on your site. Create an inviting system to secure their e-mail address so you can begin the two-way dialogue necessary to develop a relationship that leads to a possible hire. Remember to change the content of your site regularly so passive job seekers have a reason to visit again.

Attract Passive Job Seekers: Deliver Your Message
To secure the interest of passive job seekers, you need to understand how your target candidates use the Internet and then provide them with information that stimulates a response. Banner ads and sponsorships are a great way to create exposure, build awareness and start a dialogue. Understand what kinds of sites your target candidates visit and place banner ads and sponsorships on those sites. Link them to your employment site so passive job seekers can click through and learn about your company and your current openings. Even if they do not click on the banner or sponsorship, the exposure you receive helps to build awareness of your organization as an employer.

Build Relationships: Establish and Maintain Communication
Use tools like virtual postcards, invitations and newsletters to maintain ongoing communication with passive job seekers. E-mail updates about new openings and company news on a regular basis.

Pique the Interest of Target Candidates: Promote Your Web Site
Entice target candidates to visit your Web site. Develop and implement a strong marketing strategy to promote the site. Include site registration, PR and media planning. Build awareness of your site in print ads, radio spots and anywhere and everywhere you promote your company.

The David Group’s Internet Services Team can help you every step of the way. We will develop a comprehensive Internet recruitment marketing strategy that harnesses the power of the Internet to keep you a step ahead.

Final Note - On The Lighter Side

Thirty-Eight Percent of Managers Say They Have Fired Someone for Stealing at the Office, CareerBuilder.com's Survey Finds

How many sticky fingers are in your office? It may be more than you think, according to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey. Although only one-in-ten workers admitted to stealing from their employers, 38 percent of hiring managers reported they have fired employees for office theft. The survey, titled “Office Kleptomania,” was conducted in June 2006 of more than 2,200 workers, including 1,000 hiring managers.
