How long do your (social) links last? Have you even asked the question?

The time span of your links is an important and should be an obvious question for a recruiter/marketer. If you are paying for an advert of any kind you "always" know how long it will stay up!

What is a Social ATS (and how do you get one)?

So TribePad have staked their claim as the first social ATS but what does it really mean and what does it matter to the "average" recruiter? Is it just smart marketing to attract attention or is there something seriously special about what a social ATS offers?

Is TribePad taking a Google Chrome approach to the recruitment market?

Google didn't purely launch Chrome to win browser market share but to force other browsers to innovate and innovate fast. By doing so it allowed Google to unleash yet more products into the market! Very smart and so far proving to be very successful. So how does this help TribePad and the recruitment industry?

Why Facebook Graph Search is NOT a recruitment silver bullet

Of course it's the latest social toy so everyone will think it's the next job board/agency killer but guess what, it's not!

Apply with Google+? Seriously? Well Google let you!

I was doing a career site review the other day so was mooching around Google for some examples and came across their use of Google+ as part of the application process. It seems to be getting everywhere these days!

Make IT in Ireland by John Dennehy, Zartis.com

 

Companies compete for talent at different levels. Rarely do similar companies hiring for similar positions agree to work together.

We’re betting that it’s a good thing to do. Last week we launched a project called Make IT in Ireland (www.makeitinireland.com), a website and social media campaign to showcase the careers and companies in Ireland’s tech sector.

Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Symantec, Intel and Oracle are the companies behind it. All of them are hiring in Ireland.

Why did they do it?

To increase the size and quality of the local talent pool!

The 2012 Corporate Recruiters Survey results published

The results have been compiled, they've been ran through multiple algorithms and the report has been written.

So if you'd like a copy you can get one at www.hirestrategies.co.uk/CRS2012.

I first ran the survey in 2010 so wanted to see if anything had changed in the last two years. Not so much about functional tools like mobile but more around the mindset of the corporate recruiter. 

Is the CEO focused on growth or survival?

How important is recruitment?

Can you find the people you need?

What are you doing to hire the right people?
