Recruiting is marketing, and human resources needs to partner with marketing and technology, and get on board with the new communications revolution - short and sweet, where talent wants it, how talent wants it, and when talent wants it. To truly find the best people, human resources is going to have to hunt down the right candidates and capture them with content. Be the mobile bot that feeds them what they need and entices them to join your team - and start today.
Survey on Recruitment Finds Return of War for Talent and Skills Gaps in UK
London - June 16
Employers are being inundated with unsuitable candidates and struggling to fill vacancies, and talented individuals are staying put, concluding that the grass is greener on their own side of the fence in these volatile economic times. These are the findings from the annual Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Resourcing and Talent Planning survey, produced in partnership with Hays.
Company culture is a lot like meetings and memos: it's an inescapable, and inevitable, part of the employee (and candidate) experience. But with the rise of social media, virtual employees and global teams, new business paradigms mean that when it comes to communicating culture and developing an authentic and resonant employer brand, it's anything but business as usual.
91% of organisations across the world are either spending as much or more in 2012 than they did in 2011.
No less than 83% recognised the impact of their employer brand, although a confusingly low 54% adopted a proactive approach to their employer brand.
the notion of measurement seems curiously neglected. Just 38% of Linked In’s survey measured their brand relative to that of the competition, just 37% ask recent joiners about their perceptions of their new employer’s brand and an even more anaemic 32% regularly canvass external candidates as to how they perceive and understand their employer brand.
