This is so cool (well, if you work in a social media agency or social recruitment it is!), I needed to share it to be enjoyed by all.
Here’s a fantastic infographic from the good people of RecruitLoop that cleverly demonstrates how recruiting has changed over the last four decades.
The introduction of technology and social media has had a massive effect on the HR industry, transforming head-hunters into community-gatherers.
A quick post as I dry out from attending a very rainy Albury Tristate Conference earlier this week. I had the opportunity to talk about social recruiting and its relevance to an extremely competitive Aged Care recruitment market. The presentation is below.
Since joining Ellis Jones 18 months ago, there has been a significant shift in the perceptions of social media as a business tool. The majority of organisations in the sector I speak to are considerably more comfortable about engaging stakeholders on social media channels and understand that their option to or not to is diminishing. However, there is still a lack of understanding of how to drive meaningful engagement outcomes and integrate social media insight into the rest of the organisation.
The presentation below describes one way of doing this – through recruitment. This is not a nice to have initiative that sits alongside other recruiting efforts. Done well, it will replace traditional channel spend and create a regular flow of potential employees to your organisation. Not only does this save on agency staff costs, it also reduces the pressure on current staff.
89% of companies will use social media networks for recruiting in 2011. Most will do some stalking on Linked In, some Facebook profiling and perhaps set up a Careers page with some social media sharing buttons. Let us show you how to go much much deeper to transform your recruitment strategy, driving down staff turnover and costs at the same time.
In response to rapidly increasing interest in sophisticated social recruiting, Ellis Jones has launched a program of workshops for company HR and Recrutiment Teams.
As with every other communication and marketing discipline, employer branding strategy is being redefined by the advent and meteoric rise of social media.
Our agency has invested significant resources into the development of a social recruiting model that establishes employer presence and reputation while managing risk. That journey has seen us take a hard look at standard employer branding models and how they need to change to be effective on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
There seems to be a misunderstanding or miscommunication in the world of recruitment. It appears that many traditional headhunters are threatened by the online recruitment revolution, concerned that HR teams and online agencies are muscling-in on the action. But could it be possible that difference functions can combine forces and create an unstoppable Godzillaesque recruitment monster?
In the past, traditional business’ only real threat came from other traditional businesses – you could watch your competitor from across the street. It was a tangible thing. But the bar has been raised, the playing field changed, and today’s competition can be found online, reaching more people than ever before. Businesses need healthy competition. It encourages an operator to take that step further and perform to the best of their ability. In fact, companies and industries that have never had any online business and only ever experienced risk from ‘tangible’ competitors, have now found ways to adapt and implement online processes.
It’s funny how Social Media, a tool which not so long ago would get an employee fired, is now being used as a means to get people hired.
