Is Your Company Truly Making The Most Of Technology When Hiring?
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerIn 2017, the old ways of recruiting
are either over or at least severely disrupted – for which you can largely
thank technology.
No longer are candidates making a
case for employment via paper CVs – instead, they are creating compelling
brands for themselves on the likes of social media and blogs, helping to make
today’s hiring a very much digital-centric practice.
Amid talk over the past year of an
increasingly candidate-driven job market, it has never been more important for Recruitment Agencies In Ireland – and the employers that use them -
to be proactive and strategic in their use of technology.
So, what are the steps that your
company needs to take over the coming year to keep up with the ever-evolving HR
technology landscape?
Make Sure You Are Thoroughly Mobile-Optimised
Did you know that according to one
Glassdoor survey, nine in 10 jobseekers
said they would use their mobile device during the job search process in the
next 12 months, while 45% of jobseekers
reported using their mobile device to search for jobs at least once a day?
It’s why our own highly rated hiring
software package here at Webrecruit, Fusion, enables candidates on mobile
devices to easily discover, find out about and apply for the vacancies of companies like yours. Don’t miss out on this
continually-expanding proportion of the candidate pool!
Promote Vacancies Via Social Media
According to one report, not only
are ‘best-in-class’ companies 45% more likely to share content and job postings
across social media platforms, but they are also 37% less likely to have trouble
sourcing qualified candidates.
These two statistics are not
completely unrelated. However, the effective promotion of vacancies on social
media is no longer just about organic posting, as paid advertising has also
come into its own in recent times.
Social networks’ combination of
highly in-depth stored user data and advanced targeting tools makes them
difficult for any technologically literate Recruitment Companies In Ireland
to ignore – and they are certainly central to our work here at Webrecruit
Ireland.
Again, we’re referring to our Fusion
suite – specifically, the ability that it gives the user to add dedicated
social media modules to tailor it to their exact needs. This means that the system can be
geared towards only those social networks you actually use in your recruitment process.
Recruitment And Technology Go Hand-In-Hand
While
recruitment and technology have always been natural bedfellows, this has never
been truer than it is now. Get in touch with our experts here at Webrecruit Ireland
today about the assistance that we can provide to your own firm’s hiring
efforts.
