Finding the Technical Candidate

Finding the Technical Candidate On The Way To Your Site…ideas from Jeffery Giesener – CEO – SourceMob.com

 

Where oh where are your Candidates?

I had the pleasure of taking part in prospective client meetings last week and the consistent theme was that it was increasingly difficult to source IT Candidates and professional medical staffing like nurses and other highly technical medical positions. So what is going on…?

 

You would think in today’s economy any opening would be filled quickly.

So let’s take a closer look at what is happening here.

First a sidebar…

  • Do you know what you visitor count is to your Career Page(s)?
  • Do you even have analytics plugged into your Career Pages that estimates traffic and ROI?
  • If you do how frequently are your reviewing and acting on your data?

If you don’t then plugging Analytic metrics from SourceMob into your recruiting efforts is a great place to begin to learn how your Candidates are interacting with your Career Pages. Are prospective Candidates visiting your Career Pages, then defecting or applying?

This is what I have been coaching our clients to understand about their conversion opportunities; Candidates are changing their career search behaviors. They are no longer coming back in the numbers they once did to Job Boards (Monster/CareerBuilder or Dice), Job Portals like LinkedIn or even your Career Pages for job postings.

On the contrary, they are demanding that you engage and begin a conversation with them wherever they are in Social Media and/or on their mobile smartphones/Tablets. When you have your Career Site stats available they would absolutely support this position. You can also see the titanic shift in traffic to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Mobile as more evidence of a sea change in recruiting.

It isn’t all about LinkedIn or Job Boards any more…

 

#1: Nielsen, reports that American internet users spent a combined total of 53.5 billion minutes on Facebook during May 2011, which was more time than they spent on the four next most popular sites combined. According to Businessinsider.com 50% of those looking for a job last year used Facebook.

 

#2: According to Forbes, Twitter surpassed 200 million registered users who now post more than 110 million tweets per day. Twitter is also increasingly becoming a critical HR communication channel for Talent Acquisition Professionals.  In fact, HR Pros are now actively building a Twitter career strategy and integrating this powerful communication channel into their recruiting mix. Of note, 8% of those looking for a job added job information to their Twitter profile.

 

#3: According to Google, U.S. visits to Google+ surpassed 49 million during the one-month period ending Dec. 11, a 55% increase from the one-month period ending Nov. 11 2011. Google also provides a heightened awareness within their Google Search for those companies using Google+ company pages

#4: Over 90 million Americans use text messaging daily and the numbers keep growing.  That’s over 50% of cell phone users.
