3. Talent Analytics
Big Data has become a massive part of how recruiters analyse candidate behaviours. Various new tools are being used to assess people’s online activity. Furthermore, they’re helping recruiters determine whether or not a candidate would be open to new opportunities. Important metrics centred around time to hire and cost of hire have become easier to achieve with the help of Big Data. If recruiters use this data the right way, they will be better able to quickly and easily locate the best candidates.
4. Publish engaging content
There are only so many hours in the day, and yet an ever-growing number of social networks and sources where we could produce and share engaging content. It’s important to invest your time where it’ll make the most impact on your prospects, your network and your customers.
The most-used networks where Marketeers publish B2B content are LinkedIn (94%), Twitter (87%) and Facebook (84%). Marketeers share content across an average of 6 networks. While LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook have the largest content-sharing effort, it’s also key to look at the ROI for these networks. The best return on investment comes from LinkedIn (66%) and Twitter (55%), but Facebook is only 30%. Recruiters can mirror this strategy by applying a content marketing strategy of their own.
5. Optimise your candidate experience
In today’s digital world, it is now more crucial than ever before to provide a personalised and engaging customer experience that helps you or your company stand out from the rest. Nowadays recruiters are beginning to think a little deeper into what their clients want and how they should go about interacting with them. Your candidate experience directly effects you or your business. Therefore, ensuring that you have various touchpoints with your candidate throughout the hiring process is vital!
