As we approach our 10th anniversary at JVP Group we wanted to find ways to share more of our recruitment insight and expertise that can help you increase your talent pool, speed up your recruitment process and ultimately save you both time and money in making hires.

Step 1: Harness the power of Social Media

Social Media is now playing a critical role in talent attraction with 79% of jobseekers using social media in their job search. How do you ensure that you are not missing out on a gold mine of potential talent?

Each recruitment campaign needs its own social marketing solution to engage with the right audience. All social media can be enhanced by thinking like a candidate and adding those critical hashtags.

Keep in Mind: 70% of hiring managers can trace hires back to an engagement on social media.

Step 2: Application Tracking

Are you struggling to manage the flow of candidates through the recruitment process?

Candidates are demanding a more responsive recruitment process so utilising an Applicant Tracking System has become a necessity. Access to a user friendly Applicant Tracking System will allow you to shortlist and respond to applicants in a couple of clicks enhancing your candidate’s experience.

Keep in Mind: 60% of applicants are unimpressed by time consuming recruitment processes and end up abandoning the process.

Step 3: Employer Brand

Does your employer brand represent the best version of you as an employer? For example, does it reflect the flexibility that you as an employer are now offering to attract and retain the very best talent?

Your employee proposition represented in your job advertising needs to demonstrate that employees will have the same positive experience working remotely with your organisation as those in the office environment.

Keep in Mind: “Work from home” and “Remote” were two of the Top 5 online job search terms in March 2023.

Step 4: Job Advert Visibility

Creating a killer advert that does an amazing job in Marketing your company to candidates means that only 50% of the talent attraction job is done.

The advert needs to maximise its reach through a multi-site posting approach, whilst being targeted at industry and skills specific sites that will ensure the advert reaches its target audience.

Keep in Mind: Jobseekers will use multiple online job sites with an average of 5 sites being used in a job search.

Step 5: Managed Recruitment

The demands to hire faster than ever before are putting pressure on the candidate experience, so sometimes you need help managing the process without paying exorbitant recruitment agency fees.

Look for a partner who can facilitate the talent attraction process, filter through the CVs to match against your job criteria, pre-screen and organise interviews for the shortlisted candidates saving you time and money.

Keep in Mind: Organisations that invest in a strong candidate experience improve the quality of their hires by 70%.
