Recruitment Marketing: Navigating the Internet To Attract A-Level Talent

Workplace Application: This program will illustrate just how complicated online recruiting has become, while showing how it is possible to cut through the clutter and develop the most effective online strategy.

Navigating the world of online recruitment is an ever-changing, and often complicated, endeavor. Understanding the navigation and response patterns of potential candidates through the Internet marketplace is critical to gaining their attention. Gone are the days when job seekers went straight to the newspaper classifieds. The Internet has caused the process to become more fragmented; organizations must now go beyond traditional media to ensure that they will reach and attract the right talent. It can be difficult to know where to turn so join us as we draw a strategic map to navigate this new landscape.

A Must Read from WSJ

Please read... “Employer Branding" is critical NOW to maintain a company’s reputation and to cultivate the workforce necessary for growth AFTER the recession. Even if you are not actively hiring, now is the time to position your organization ahead of the competition. Once things begin to pick-up, you will not want to be playing catch-up.

With Spring Comes Sunnier Disposition

2009-03-20T16:32:00.003-05:00

Here is some editorial from this morning’s blogs:
On Thursday, the Labor Department reported that Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell to 646,000 in the week ended March 14, from the previous week's revised reading of 658,000, below the 652,000 economists had expected.Though the weekly figure is still steep, the better-than-feared data emboldened economic optimists, who said the first signs of a bottom arrive when data begin to come in stronger than forecast.
Meanwhile, investors received a clearer picture of manufacturing in the United States Thursday morning, after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve reported that its manufacturing index for March came in at negative 35.0, a considerable improvement over the negative 41.3 reading reported in February and better than the minus 39.0 Wall Street had expected.

Let NAS help position your organization for a turn-around! Some great ways are with Pay Per Click campaigns, getting you websites optimized and your analytics in place.

NAS Interactive, a division of NAS Recruitment Communications, announces the expansion of its online HR recruitment offering with the opening of the new NAS SmartClicks Center.

Pay Per Click is an important and cost-effective step to get your job listing on search engines online where candidates are looking. The great part about it is you only pay when someone clicks to your career site so instead of paying for exposure, you pay for results!

How Your Website Can Be Your #1 Recruiting Tool

2009-02-20T14:58:00.004-06:00

A company’s corporate website is a powerful recruiting tool. The reality is that every A-level candidate who is carefully managing their career is visiting your website and making assumptions about your organization based on what they find. Unfortunately, many websites are not designed with the applicant experience in mind and fail to engage the right talent.

Dive into Web 2.0

2008-12-18T10:39:00.006-06:00

First, we want to say, “Thank you!” to Kevin Hawkins of NAS Interactive for a great job on Monday. The HCI webinar was informative, interesting and valuable. Here are a few key points we wanted to share.

What is Web 1.0? Web 1.0 delivers a strongly controlled message in a static environment viewed by a passive audience. So, what is Web 2.0? Web 2.0 delivers a fluid message that encourages participation, personalization and decentralization. In other words, it engages the audience turning message consumers into word-of-mouth influencers.

What does this mean for recruitment? It is now more imperative to understand who you audience is and what they are looking for. They’re not looking for hype. With Web 2.0 you are lending yourself to greater transparency. So you need to relate a real, useful message about your company and why they should work with you!

Wondering where to start? Think strategy. Plan for the long-term, but take action NOW! Web 2.0 is here! As Kevin likes to say, “Don’t spend time polishing the apple.” Your competitors are likely already involved in social medias such as blogs, social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.), online chats, Wikis, podcasts, photo/video sharing, and RSS. Note: this list is not exhaustive. In fact, it is constantly evolving, which emphasizes our point. Your message will evolve as the social medias evolve so do your planning (we can help), and get your message out there.

Please let us know if you have any questions about Web 2.0 and how we can help you through our expertise and services by contacting our office or leaving a comment.

NAS Insights for Health Care Recruiting

Hospitals Focus on Keeping Nurses Happy

Hospitals know that nurses' attitudes toward their jobs can affect patient satisfaction and employee morale. Facing high turnover rates and a national nursing shortage, hospitals are increasingly focused on supporting their nurses.

‘Tis the Season for Networking

2008-12-03T10:04:00.004-06:00

Organizations have a number of strategies they can use to attract talent: the Internet, print advertising, employment agencies, college recruiting, and job fairs, to name a few. Through the years, however, human resource executives have always agreed that employee referral programs (ERPs) have been the most effective way of finding new employees.

According to recent research, when recruiters and HR professionals were asked where they find their best candidates, the majority pointed to their employee referral program. A recent CareerXroads study of large, high-profile companies found that referrals brought in 25 percent of new hires. A recent Hudson survey reported that networking was the most common way workers (26 percent) and managers (33 percent) found their jobs. Among workers who earn $75,000 to $100,000 per year, the figure was 39 percent.

According to a recent Spherion Emerging Workforce Study, 58 percent of top HR executives said that referrals are the best way to recruit top talent. In another survey by HCI/ExecuNet, 62 percent of recruiters listed networking as their most effective means of finding senior managers. In the face of growing worldwide skills shortages, global competition and tight budgets, organizations will need to activate their employee base as the main engine of their recruiting efforts.
