Use a Talent Community to Reach the Silent Majority

Use a Talent Community to Reach the Silent Majority | Recruiting with Social Media | Scoop.it
Majority of job seekers are passive - meaning employed. To reach this candidate market, use a talent community approach.
RecruiterLarry's insight:

This is not a hard sell environment for job opportunities – its farming not hunting –  it’s about you subtly making sure your employer brand is well represented throughout the talent community so if those candidates do decide to become active, they know how to find their way to you.

Could Artificial Intelligence Debunk Twitter Rumors Before They Spread?

Could Artificial Intelligence Debunk Twitter Rumors Before They Spread? | Recruiting with Social Media | Scoop.it
Read the rest of Slate’s coverage of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
RecruiterLarry's insight:

Interesting article on computers using algorithms to tell if a tweet in probably a lie. 

 

 Among the features that make information more credible:

- Tweets about it tend to be longer and include URLs.

- People tweeting it have higher follower counts.

- Tweets about it are negative rather than positive in tone.

- Tweets about it do not include question marks, exclamation marks, or first- or third-person pronouns.

Several of those findings were echoed in another recent study from researchers at India's Institute of Information Technology who also found that credible tweets are less likely to contain swear words and significantly more likely to contain frowny emoticons than smiley faces.

It’s been “The Year of the Candidate Experience” | Recruiting with Social Media | Scoop.it
Attention to the candidate experience wasn't the only trend in 2012, but it was one of the most significant in talent acquistion.
RecruiterLarry's insight:
The CandE Awards – The Talent Board, a nonprofit research organization dedicated to improving the candidate experience, published the results of its first-ever CandE Awards survey and awards program.  It surveyed 11,000 candidates to provide new insights into the hiring process.  The program had a huge response in its first year, leading to a second year of evaluations due out soon.Go Virtual? Yes! And Create a More Authentic Candidate Experience This webinar hosted by Human Captial Institute in June drew a sizeable virtual crowd. There's still time to view this interactive discussion to learn how to use your organization's unique culture to create a compelling experience for the candidates you'd like to bring on board.  Hear about how Carlson Restaurants’ TGI Friday's does it.93% of candidates agree they have higher interest in a job opportunity as a result of their experience with Montage Interview. That’s one of the interesting findings in original candidate research - Video Interviewing Impacts Candidate Perception, published by Montage in August.  This report reveals that companies can enhance their candidate experience through the use of video interviewing.Candidate experience guides product development.  At Montage, our core philosophy and solution approach is to optimize the candidate experience. That commitment guided our innovation this year as we rolled out Montage Mobile, Montage Foyer and the Montage Learning Center. With each of these offerings we raise the bar on our capability to provide a client-branded, positive experience to candidates through video interviewing.

Another reason to GeoTag Job Descriptions and Events.  As more candidates search for jobs on the go, it is important for recruiters to tag all posts and jobs.  If you are a recruiter is Austin, Tx but you are targeting candidates in Los Angeles, be sure and tag your jobs in L.A so it will be found by mobile devices  as "near by" on twitter and facebook.
