So much money has been wasted on sourcing job candidates by large corporations that have not understood intelligent ways to retain these candidates. In a rough market you need to be very smart with how you use your money and it will pay off with your nurturing campaign.
We see these struggles in terrible interviews, weak recruiters with bad skills, boring application process and job board ads without that excitement. Skill sets and systems are not sharpened and people fall through the cracks toward your competition.
Job boards are becoming less and less of an avenue to reach clients. People are realizing that ideal candidates come from proactively searching for people interested in leaving their current careers.
It isn't often the person with the best resume is the ideal candidate, because to be honest most of the successful people are not used to updating a resume. They are too sought after that their resume quality is not that important. A lot of the active candidates that can't find jobs usually don't have the skills to warrant being interviewed.
Most of the job boards are starting to lose traffic because people are realizing that it isn't an ideal source for targeted job candidates. Monster and Career Builder had 1% of the job search traffic and now it is less than .2%.
If you are smart then you will start using niche sites or social networks to get to your job candidates. It gives you a great way to interact with ideal candidates before competing recruiters find your people.
Job candidates begin not by leaving their job, but by being curious about what is out there. If you can reach them soon and build their trust then can make all the difference. It can be evident even in employee referral programs.
One of the best ways to interact early with explorer candidates is by using TalentSeekr from EnticeLabs in order to connect with targeted candidates. With a challenging economy it is a tenth of the cost of job boards with 5 times the reach.
