…HR ideas from Jeffery Giesener – SourceMob – CEO
Content marketing will rule in recruiting budgets, priorities and candidate attention. Content Talent Acquisition and HR Marketing is so hot right now. According to HubSpot, 71% of marketers report that they’re getting an increased content budget in 2015.
JG Says: So how does your HR content marketing budget look? Do you even have a content budget? And this doesn’t mean you have to load up on content marketing in 2015/2016. I am just recommending you start by simply getting in the game.
Personalization will earn you some serious credibility among your candidates. As Talent Acquisition Pros know, the one thing you should always be doing is listening to your candidates. You won’t be able to please everyone and you shouldn’t let a few disgruntled people dictate your strategy, but you should always listen. Onespot reported that 67% of consumers state that content helps them make better purchase decisions.
JG Says: Working in Talent Acquisition you should take notice of this fact and determine how you can make your candidate recruiting more personal and special. Remember to focus on WFIM – What’s in it for your candidate! Why should they join your organization? How do you let them know? Both you employees and candidates who you have interviewed are a healthy repository of user-generated content to deliver this message.
User experience on mobile devices will improve drastically. With the stats from Morgan Stanley reports suggesting that ONE BILLION people will use their smartphone as their only form of Internet access in 2015.
JG says: Isn’t it time to start thinking about mobile first and everything else second for candidate acquisition. This is a big mind shift, for HR & Talent Acquisition, so the sooner you can wrap your head around a mobile-first approach, the quicker you’ll jump ahead of the competition and attract your best candidates.
What’s In It For Your Candidate? A HR department marketing material is a direct reflection of the company itself. If a career brand’s marketing materials are boring and too focused on self-promotion, candidates will quickly realize they’re dealing with a selfish, bland company. These days, nobody wants to work for companies who are all about themselves. In fact, Forrest reports customer –centric companies gained 43% in performance ratings compared to a 40% decrease for companies who’ve neglected the customer experience. That’s a big deal. If your business hasn’t had discussions about candidate experience lately, that is an ouch, please make it a priority in early 2015/2016.
