If you missed our live webinar with Andy Headworth yesterday, don't fret — we've got it covered.
"Strategies to Optimize Your Candidate Outreach" was a hit! Recruiters, hiring managers, and heads of talent were among those in attendance who got the lowdown on inside tactics for building a better relationship with candidates, from the first contact, through the engagement, all the way to the hire.
Any great, qualified candidate isn't an easy hire — they require a little bit of courting. Not sure how? Here are some key takeaways from the event:
-
Engage your candidates online with a content marketing strategy. If talent can't find your digital footprint, they won't be interested in learning more about your company.
-
If you do have an online presence, be sure to produce consistent, high-quality material that is frequently promoted across various channels.
-
Candidate outreach is a two-way street. Blindly sending messages without keeping track of the ones that are awaiting your reply gets messy and completely misses the point of having a strategy in the first place.
-
Share content that is interesting, relevant, and unique to your sector. (Yes, it is that simple.)
-
Even though social recruiting accounts for nearly 80% of companies' hires, don't forget it's a supplement to your current sourcing approach, not a replacement.
-
Remember Walter's rule: Don't share the same boring crap that everyone else does.
