Current employment landscape.

Job Seeker Journey

16

Job Seekers are now treating a job search like they would when making a substantial purchase for a consumer product.

This includes:

•  Doing extensive research on a company or organization’s

reputation

•  Studying up on a company’s brand and to research what the

work experience might be like

•  Turning to a personal social network

Job seeker journey.

17

What does this shift mean for companies?

•  Recruiting & HR departments have lost control of the narrative

•  Many candidates choosing to work for great companies, rather than first job

that comes their way

•  The best recruits might not be looking for work, rather already working

•  Smart job-seekers are circumventing the front door

•  Job seekers are more educated and aware than ever before

•  Many understand income opportunities come in all shapes and sizes

•  Trends will continue as more sectors adjust to realities of new economy

Job seeker journey.

18

What can companies do to combat the shift?

•  Assess current culture

•  Where are we now? Where do we want to be?

•  Present an authentic brand; avoid spin and corporate-speak

•  Embrace the change. Embrace social media

•  "More Social. Less Media.”

•  Become a brand known for thought leadership

•  Build a community around the brand's products and services

•  Turn to passionate employees and executives as champions of your brand

Job seeker journey.


•


In Social Age, companies that lead with purpose — that genuinely care about their employees, customer and community — will attract the best talent.

Job Seeker Journey:

Bottom line.


•

Why social media for recruiting?

For profile scouting and verification of resumes, social media is used more often than traditional search engines.

Resumes & Applicant Tracking Systems
