Hunting Season Declared! Web 2.0 Premium Company Recruiting Ground For Gen Y

Article by Christine Mcveigh

This is not some new marketing fluff or propaganda to get companies involved in social networks. Social networks provide a rewarding environment for companies to connect with great talent before they hit the payroll. Companies using viral content in social networks will be the first to get Gen Y?s attention and the pick of the talent crop. In the Web 2.0 world creativity, content and community rule and companies need to dance to the new beat.

Before Web 2.0 and social media networking companies used their websites and job boards to attract and recruit talent. Many were ignorant to social sites crammed with some of the best corporate talent and suffered the penalty. Until now.

Social networks house large, precious databases have massive popularity and very low implementation costs. But the swing to Web 2.0 technologies by corporations has been painfully slow, even though it makes sense to use to these sites for their next corporate hire and lunacy to ignore them.

Gen Y, the early adopters of social media networking, are now 88 million strong. Neglecting, even throwing away opportunities to get the best talent money can buy without paying ludicrous hiring or transfer fees is counter intuitive.

Companies wanting top candidates to join their ranks should advance recklessly towards Web 2.0 strategies, embrace social networks and grab hold of the wealth of talent roaming the landscape. And it?s absolutely free.

Positioning themselves where their potential employees spend time and learning the local language is a necessity. Anything else defies common sense and would be a mistake. That means developing and exploiting links in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or blogs. It also means becoming social media literate, understanding Gen Y?s recruiting goals, being generous with time and information and participating in a meaningful way. Just getting social network accounts not only isn’t enough in fact it would look trivial and shallow. If companies want Gen Y to arouse interest in them they need to be active.

Company pages in Facebook pages and Twitter accounts should bring companies to life. This should include videos of employees being transparent about their daily corporate lives, their failures, successes and eccentricities. More like in-house diaries and less like scripted advertisements. The best way to connect with Gen Y is by engaging in conversations already happening online.

Web 2.0 and social media networking have blasted the doors wide open for companies to get creative. People want more than ever to connect with others with the same values and interests. Even in the current downturn talent still needs to be won. Web 2.0 is the perfect place to meet without putting resumes or reputations on the line.

It?s not a trick. Becoming peers through social networks is an unexpected and invaluable way to connect to elite talent. Companies with viral videos and ripping good content for Gen Y will get their attention and will work for them. In this new digital frontier, creativity, content and community will triumph.

Taking advantage of Facebook for business

Article by James Blunt

Facebook is considered the largest social networking sites. There are millions of active users who share the various forms of information like photos, videos, links, notes, etc. to a lot of people at all hours of the day. While Facebook was originally intended for personal use, many people are using Facebook for business purposes.

Due to the constantly increasing number of Facebook users, it is not surprising to learn that Facebook is also one of the top advertising spots. Social media marketing is actually a growing trend in Internet companies. Using the best social networking sites like Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn and Facebook for business is a good way to increase website traffic and brand building.

As a professional tool, how to use Facebook for business purposes is a bit different from its use as a personal tool. Gaining more followers (also known as followers or likers) involve the use of some social media marketing strategies. There is a lot you can do with your Facebook account.

Here are some tips for you to increase the power of marketing and branding of using Facebook for business purposes.

* Create a fan page on Facebook. In creating your page, cool, creative and unique. You have the opportunity to leave a lasting impression with your fans that will make you stand out from the rest.

How to Recruit Quality Staff in 2009

Article by Camilla Patten

Gillian Meier shares some of the challenges that will be facing recruiters in 2009 and beyond.

Due to the current financial crisis there are a number of companies that are being forced into having to retrench staff, and the former rule of last-in-first-out does not necessarily apply any longer. Companies will most likely retain those employees that add value to their organisation and will retrench those that do not. These job seekers can be found on most CV databases as they are actively in the job market. As the global economic situation slides into recession companies will need to become smarter if they want to find and retain the best quality skills.

REACHING ACTIVE JOB SEEKERS Until now most recruiters have predominantly been searching through existing online CV databases for skills where such databases enable them to have instant access to central pools of job seekers. CV databases offer instant access into the active job seeker market, however there are those candidates that may not be actively looking but have placed their CV’s into these databases and prefer to be hidden and are not searchable. Most of these candidates have created job alerts to inform them of opportunities that are available and that they might be open to considering; even though they might not have been actively looking for a job.

By advertising job opportunities on job boards, these candidates will therefore be notified of the vacancy and may choose to submit their application, whereas if the position was never advertised they may otherwise never have known about it. Recruiters should therefore realise the true value of a job board lies in their ability to reach both the active job seekers and passive candidates. While online CV databases remain the most convenient way to find active job seekers, recruiters will need to develop online recruitment strategies that are able to tap into the skilled, passive candidate market as well.

FINDING PASSIVE CANDIDATES – The passive, non-job seeking candidate is employed and is generally making a productive contribution to their current employer and may not have immediate plans to take active steps towards finding a new job; however these candidates are free agents and may always be on the radar waiting for the next opportunity. These are the types of skills that recruiters will need to hunt down if they want to be sure that they are hiring the best.

By advertising job opportunities on job boards, these job advertisements can be promoted not only to the active job seeker market, but can also be matched automatically to the hidden job seekers, as well as extended to the greater web audience through automated content driven job advertising to ensure that they attract quality targeted passive candidates.

RECRUITMENT WEB 2.0 – Recruiters are progressively turning towards the internet to find quality candidates as they realise the need to become more creative in finding quality talent. Those companies that have introduced their own recruitment or careers section to their existing websites have seen a significant decrease in their recruitment spend. The more pioneering recruiters have however already started to embrace Web 2.0, utilising the candidate targeting tools available through social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to find the more niche skilled candidates.

Recruiters are only as valuable as the quality of candidates they find, and resourceful recruiters will need to know where to go to find the best quality candidates from deep within the web. The best candidates are no longer hidden inside recruiter’s drawers; they are wired to the Internet and are inter-connected to other like-minded people. With the right internet search skills, tools and techniques; search experts are able to dig up the most hard-to-find candidates in a matter of hours, at a fraction of the cost.

Talent is scattered all over the web. By combining specialised search techniques with a profound knowledge of online linking structures, an online talent acquisition specialist will be able to drill into the inter-linked communities, social networks and gathering places of networked professionals. Social websites provide platforms where communities of people with similar interests gather to network with one another. According to a study by US job board, CareerBuilder, one in five employers in the US are using social networks to research information about job candidates. Some employers have even started to use social networks to cyber-vet their employees and potential candidates.

To gain powerful advantage recruiters can partner up with specialists who are able to reach inside the web, root around and pluck out the best candidates quickly. Once an online head-hunter has acquired a detailed understanding of the profile of candidate required, they will be able to zero in on the candidate’s most likely gathering places online by having a thorough understanding of the primary destinations. By means of applying an X-ray process, search experts are able to surface every page on the public web domain, thereby finding candidates hidden in areas that would ordinarily be overlooked.

Online talent search specialists will typically make use of a number of search tool sets to assist them in searching across the web. Using complex search strings and command structures they are able to automatically collect, interpret and present desired search results. This enables them to speed up the process of searching for people from millions of sources on the web. In addition to applying smart tools and techniques to finding candidates, an online head-hunter is trained to detect clues and recognise signs that will lead them to the right candidate by cutting through the clutter.

The challenge is being able to understand the structure of the Web well enough to be able to dig up the most hard-to-find candidates quickly. Resourceful recruiters should know how to find the best candidates in the correct niche networks from deep within the Web.

RECRUITMENT WEB 3.0 – To further streamline the recruitment process recruiters should recognise the benefits of data-driven web automation (also known as Recruitment Web 3.0) made available by intelligent technology. Through automating job advertising and centralising the processing of job applications recruiters are able to spend less time capturing job advertisements and screening job applications.

With emerging technologies all recruiters should look towards partnering with online recruitment providers that can assist them in customising their filtering processes. This level of customisation will enable recruiters to concentrate on screening suitably matched quality candidates, thereby slashing recruitment costs, administration time and reducing time to hire

Recruit During Recession to Find Top Talent

Recruit During Recession to Find Top Talent

Article by Jeff Fox

The recession has hit businesses hard, but many are taking advantage of the available talent in the job pool to bolster their teams.

The yin and yang of business is the paradoxical coexistence of challenge and opportunity. The downturn has affected nearly every industry, but there are indeed some silver linings behind the dark economic clouds. Office space is cheap and abundantly available, for example. And it’s a great time to recruit. That may seem counterintuitive. Shouldn’t companies do everything they can to cut costs, including downsizing? Not necessarily.

The monthly unemployment reports confirm that companies are continuing to lay off workers. A recent survey by the consulting group Watson Wyatt found that three-quarters of American companies have implemented a hiring freeze — a gloomy picture, to be sure. While the prevailing wisdom seems to be one of cutting costs and hunkering down to ride out the recession, many experts see an opportunity for companies to be forward-looking and take advantage of the talent pool. Their thought process? A lot of talented people are out of work.

The flip side of the Watson Wyatt study is that 25 percent of companies are, in fact, hiring. Have these companies somehow managed to sidestep the recession? Perhaps. But it may just be that they are simply – and wisely – thinking ahead.

“Acquiring top talent is crucial to your business at all times, regardless of the state the economy, and even more so in difficult times,” says Mouli Cohen, eCast and Voltage Capital founder. “Innovation is a constant necessity, particularly for technology companies. Bringing in new and high caliber talent is critical to maintaining a culture of innovation. For any business to succeed it has to gain and maintain a competitive edge, and putting the best players on your team is paramount.”

Smart companies are always on the lookout for talent, says Cohen. “It has to be part of an ongoing strategy. Not only are you looking ahead and planning to be ready to when the economy turns around, you are taking the best candidates off the market and keeping them away from the competition.”

In addition, Cohen says, hiring new players and maintaining a strong recruiting process sends a powerful signal to investors, customers and competitors that your company is strong and bullish about the future.

The magnitude of unemployment during the recession means there are good candidates in the job pool, albeit hard to find among a sea of less-talented, less-qualified candidates. Companies that appear to be hiring can expect to be besieged by a deluge of resumes, making it increasingly important to screen carefully to be selective. Joe McKendrick, who writes the FastForward blog, says social networking sites like LinkedIn and Facebook are valuabletools for helping candidates and companies find each other.

Staffing experts advise companies to avoid the temptation to under-compensate a qualified candidate. He or she may accept, but will be looking to jump ship once the job market improves. If you find a potential gem, you’ll want to retain that person for the long haul. Incentives, benefits and other perks should be extended regardless of the economic picture.

That’s not to say there aren’t opportunities in the current climate to offer alternatives to permanent full-time employment that may better suit your organization as well as an individual’s needs. Independent contractors offer flexibility, are far more cost effective and may be a mutually beneficial solution to fill the need for a specialist.

How to Use Social Networking for Recruiting

Article by Henry Jeon

You may be interested in tapping into the power of social networking website when finding job candidates. There are four social networking websites that can work well for recruiting, if used correctly: LinkedIn, Facebook, Ryze, and Doostang. It might make sense to use just one of these sites, a few, or all, depending on your goals and what particular industry you are in. You can use these sites alone, or combine them with other popular job hunting sites such as Monster and CareerBuilder when hunting for potential candidates.

First, let’s look at LinkedIn. This website is by far the most professional oriented of the social network websites. It was started in 2003 by a former PayPal executive, and it now has over 30 million members in over 150 different industries. People use this site as a place to keep up-to-date professional information about themselves, like a real-time resume of sorts. Its strengths lie in its professionalism and is primarily used for professional contacts only. If you wish to communicate with a candidate on a more personal or casual level, this is not the place to do it.

Facebook might be viewed at the opposite end of the spectrum from LinkedIn – it is definitely more casual and less professional. Why would you want to use Facebook for recruiting? Well, for one, it simply has a vast pool of people – over 150 million people worldwide. Custom applications have been built for Facebook specifically for job recruiters, some of which link into more traditional job-hunting websites. Other Facebook applications, such as Indeed Jobs, let potential employees search from millions of jobs across thousands of websites. Using the right apps, Facebook members can also post their profiles in specific niches, making them visible to recruiters.

Another interesting option for locating qualified candidates is the website Ryze. It was founded in 2001 by a former engineer, and now boasts a half million members. Ryze is popular among aspiring entrepreneurs and those looking to start small businesses. It is a powerful tool for people looking to network with like-minded business owners. People who want to network on Ryze, and potentially seek employment, are encouraged to fill out a complete profile about themselves and upload examples of their past work. While it is a professional networking site, many people add more personal details about themselves than is typical for a site like LinkedIn, for example.

Doostang is another professional social networking website that is relatively new to the scene. It has about the same number of members as Ryze, approximately half a million, but Doostang is an invitation-only network. It is heavily populated by business school graduates with at least five years of work experience. It stands relatively alone among social networking professional sites, and markets itself as an exclusive network. It may or may not be right for you, but if this is your niche, its exclusivity might allow you to make some powerful contacts.

Whichever website or combination of websites you choose to utilize, you will likely be drawing from a good pool of candidates. People who use these websites tend to be highly motivated and strong networkers. They also tend to be selective about where they work, and seek out companies that will let them fully utilize their talents and advance their careers.

Prepare uses event management technology

Prepare uses event management technology

Article by Kathryn J. Fitzgerald

Now i’m getting technology training from the chef. How embarrassing is because?

Crissy Gershey works at Parties That Prepare, a Bay Area-based company that does “on the jobInch cooking occasions in towns, cities through the entire U.S. She used to be a chef at some pretty much-known restaurants during the San fran, and then did catering work. Now she’s a director of selling and is particularly teaching us several advantages of event management technology.

To coordinate the countless public cooking functions the group conducts all through the year, Parties That Prepare uses event management technology from Eventbrite. By coincidence, I have tried personally Eventbrite within the last few month to assist manage the software training online seminars and workshops we do. Guess who a lot more satisfactory job as well? It’s Crissy, the marketing chef.

She discovers how to capitalize of free websites. Sure, at all like me she found establishing her occasions on Eventbrite to start to be pretty easy. But like every technology, if you want to do more, it will be harder. Crissy often called Eventbrite’s customer service network frequently for aid in the setup process. She leaned inside for help when establishing payment processing and formatting with the pages. She’d them walk her through the best way the code they offered so she could embed icons as a registration page and calendar by herself website. I could’ve become identical assistance that Crissy got. And is particularly all free. But I am men. Unfortunately we cannot request help. I absolutely ended up investing a lot more amount of time in the setup process than I desired to.

Crissy immediately understood using Eventbrite’s social network features for helping her promote her occasions. Identical to everything that’s web 2 . 0, I am just still racking your brains on precisely what every means. Like I am during my 40s and have Philadelphia. But she’s additional youthful… and then in the San fran. So she’s got been relating her company’s occasions within the Facebook and LinkedIn pages. She gets used Eventbrite to tweet about approaching cooking classes. She encourages registrants to the wedding using LinkedIn connections, Twitter fans and Facebook buddies and just e-mail event particulars in the website regarding buddies. She recognized that her occasions, simply because they’re for auction on Eventbrite’s site, are rapidly acquired by Google’s online search engine, so she’s produced Google Alerts in order to. She carefully crafts her event explanations so that they get discovered by other Eventbrite targeted visitors when searching the website. Sometimes she transmits out invites to prospective customers aided by the site, too (she’s permitted up to 2,000 daily).

However am not really a complete idiot. I registered with Eventbrite for the majority of fundamental stuff would save me time and expense. I am just happy with the progress. Before, participants would register on my own site. I’d obtain registration via e-mail. Someone around my office would personally send a confirmation e-mail. We’d keep a list. We’d send simple guidelines. We’d manually process the obligations. Previously it was pretty tiresome. Now when someone registers a great event they already have an automatic e-mail. Freezing acquire a notification. Eventbrite keeps the lists. It handles the obligations. It looks after a “wait list” when the event sells out. I can print title badges along with an attendee list at that moment within the event. We’re able to send bulk pointers together with the site. For an organization running occasions, it is a large factor.

Crissy lists her company’s cooking classes even on a lot of sites to draw in potential participants. This is exactly long-drawn-out. But this is always wise chef, because she determined using Eventbrite’s monitoring chance to evaluate which sites were producing just about the most guests on the occasions. So she concentrates on just individuals sites.

She’s an additional large believer in utilizing promotion codes and wait lists. In this way if attendance is lagging someplace she might offer deals. Customers can punch in a very code when joining and uncover a lower life expectancy cost. For popular occasions, she allows customers sign up for a wait list. That way after they drops out, Eventbrite instantly notifies the next individual in line that you’ve a slot started out and give that each a given timeframe to join up to before reaching to another one to the wait list.

Eventbrite isn’t cheap. It’s free. But it’s costly. What am i saying? Should you be wearing free occasions, then listing them is provided for free. That’s suitable for me because my opportunity does a bunch of free training online seminars and workshops for the items we sell. However I lately scheduled two or three for-pay occasions but happened to be sticker shock.

To be able to use Eventbrite acknowledge plastic card obligations you’ll pay 2.5% with the ticket value plus $ .99 per ticket. When we setup a seminar where we billed 9 per attendee I seemed to be version of surprised to discover .96 billed furthermore for each and every ticket offered. There may be a maximum fee of .95 per ticket, though. You’re able to eat these charges yourself or arrange it making sure that the amount paid get added onto each ticket. As there are a 3% charge for processing while in the credit-based card company. Crissy decided to pass these costs through to her clients…it also hasn’t been a worry. Me–I simply take in the cost. My organization is frightened of the backlash.

You can find several indirect costs. Crissy handled almost all the setup by hand. I hire others to afford my insufficiencies. To brand my registration page I compensated an advertising and marketing designer. To embed the Eventbrite icons in this little site, We are employing my online marketer. To prepare payment processing Concerning switched to my accountant. Obviously We are shelling out my internal marketing manager which keeps case site up-to-date and current, too.

One component that required me unexpectedly when establishing the ideas are how Eventbrite’s branding is everywhere. This does not could obtain Crissy too bent in poor condition. I recognize Eventbrite can be described as free service that could be doing its easier to attract quite a few site visitors as is feasible who’ll hopefully positioned on compensated occasions so Eventbrite, too, gets compensated. Is it best to just put a hassle-free link as part of your site for participants to join up they’ll get returned with the Eventbrite registration form, having its logo design and branding. Despite the fact Eventbrite offers the code to ensure that internet developer can embed the registration form within your site, there’s still Eventbrite branding within the form. There is not any system to really hide that you are utilizing their service, so be equipped for your.

Thus far, delicious. I’m liking Eventbrite so is Crissy. Obviously, she’s from other abilities superior to I’m. However I wager she can’t make a greater steak than me. Oh, who am I kidding? Obviously might.

Yell creates an online recruitment first with ‘digigami’ animals and RSS feeds

Article by NeonDrum

Yell has created an ‘intelligent’ online ad space and separate recruitment website that aims to hook in new recruits. The ad space shows live job vacancies powered by an RSS feed and presented as animated yellow fish, using the tag line ‘Hooks, line and thinkers’.

Both the expandable banner and website (www.yell.jobs) were designed by recruitment communications company TMP Worldwide and feature ‘digigami’ animals that come to life – created using a digital version of origami.

The innovative banner campaign is currently being hosted by leading sales recruitment website, Salestarget.co.uk until November 26, and is displayed when job seekers search on specific keywords. It is believed to be the first time such creative digital techniques have been used in a recruitment context in the UK.

The expandable banner ad presents the jobseeker with live job descriptions, in the shape of ‘digigami’ fish – coloured yellow, in keeping with Yell’s brand. Further details of the job role appear when clicking on the fish, unwrapping the origami. The job seeker is able to view the role description within the banner content, without linking off to the host website straight away, allowing them to make an informed choice and improving the user experience.

The creative design reflects Yell’s ongoing development as a provider of cutting edge, multi-channel new media products and services, as part of its aim of being the best provider of business leads for UK SMEs. The ‘digigami’ animals are designed to look as if they have been made of yellow paper, acknowledging the continuing strength of Yellow Pages directories.

Other pages on Yell’s recruitment site feature animated digigami animals, such as swimming dolphins for training and development and a flying eagle for office locations.

Andrew Groves, head of resourcing for Yell in the UK, said: “Yell is pushing the boundaries with its innovative online products, so we wanted to reflect this in a fresh, creative approach to our recruitment strategy.”We want to continue to attract driven and passionate people to our business – our new eye-catching campaign with the powerful animal imagery really captures the imagination.”

The creative site is the latest in a series of original recruitment marketing activities to attract new talent and raise brand awareness. Yell took part in the first UK online recruitment fair in Second Life, organised by TMP, used a humorous gadget ad and regularly uses Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.

Yell is continually recognised as an excellent UK employer. It was ranked ninth in The Financial Times “Best Workplaces in the UK” survey, compiled by the Great Place to Work? Institute in 2008.

Yell is also one of only 36 organisations throughout the UK with “Investors in People” Champion status, further acknowledging its approach to people management and development.
