Employers across the country are experiencing the “dog eat dog” competition for the best candidates in this hiring climate. While there are a lot of active job seekers on the market, it doesn’t mean they are the best candidates for you and your organization. The war on talent continues on, even with an increasing number of displaced individuals seeking work. We’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves to help you emerge from the chaos and help your organization stand out.
Talent Branding
Arguably one of the proactive approaches you can take in your recruitment strategy. The hiring brand messages that you send can build feelings of trust towards your organization, making talent acquisition more effective, which overall increases your savings of cost per hire, and lowers your turnover rate! Our branch Amenity Marketing covers your talent branding bases in both the short-term and the long-term, producing immediate results, and creatively and consistently delivering your hiring brand message across social media platforms. Always try to remember to:
Mobilize your Application Process
According to Glassdoor, the applicant pools shrink the longer the job application takes to complete, and you can increase the number of job applications you’re receiving by 11.6%, just by updating your application process to be mobile-friendly.*
Engage Your Fans
Create a feel-good moment for your fans by responding to their comments, shares, and tweets about your company! Everyone loves a little acknowledgement, and a quick conversation with their favorite brand on display for all to see may compel them to love your brand and engage even more--a win for your recruiting and marketing.
Though basic in thought, these three strategies are not so easy to implement and execute, but the Eden Resources team is here to help aggressively take your hiring efforts to the top.
Need help optimizing your application process? Eden Resources can provide you with guidance, suggestions, and transition your application process to a seamless mobile friendly experience for your applicants.
