For a few years now, we’ve been talking about the power of programmatic advertising and how it can transform your recruitment media spend in some pretty dramatic ways. But first, a quick refresher: programmatic media buying is the algorithmic purchase and sale of advertising space in real time. It involves the buying, placement and optimization of ads performed by software, rather than people. It is a proactive, targeted strategy that allows you to:

  • Purchase online job ads in real-time, based on preset rules and targeted on a pay-per-click or pay-per-apply basis
  • Optimize price per candidate by key metrics that you define
  • Spread budget allocation across targeted jobs
  • Stop wasting ad spend on non-converting jobs
  • Automate time-consuming manual bidding and reporting

You need robust analytics to track results and manage your recruitment budget. Quite simply, if you can’t measure your recruitment performance, you can’t improve it. Which KPIs are most important to your organization? How are you currently measuring or analyzing your metrics to make data-driven decisions? We recommend a phased approach in addressing these questions:

Tips for a better candidate experience

Outside of your own employees, your career site is your #1 touchpoint with candidates and the top employment branding asset in your arsenal. It is your “handshake moment” with candidates and often it is their first impression of your organization. First, candidates have to be able to find your site. Next, they need to be inspired to apply. Finally, they want a simple and easy search experience. Here are some tips on how to get there.

Tip 1: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is fundamental
When you think about a career site, it’s not just about the stand-alone career site itself; it’s about how it interacts with the greater web. One thing we do know about candidate behavior is that it constantly changes. Therefore, it is vital to consider how candidates are initially searching for jobs and how your career site is a component of that search.

SEO is a method of inbound marketing that makes your content findable and trackable by Google, Bing and other search engines. Data suggests that anywhere from 70% to 86% of candidates start their job search on their preferred search engine, typing in a search string such as Engineering jobs near Denver Colorado. They get served up content that is deemed most relevant by the search engine – content which may not include yours if you are not SEO-savvy or do not have the right technology in place.

Road-to_Header

As most of the workforce begins to shift into recovery mode, one point is clear: the recruitment landscape is poised for a seismic shift in the way employers are positioning their branding and communicating with candidates. With regard to hiring, certain industries haven’t skipped a beat; some are in hiring freeze mode; and still others are in a holding pattern, awaiting the opportunity to either rehire furloughed employees or consider targeting new talent re-entering the workforce.

No matter where your organization is positioned in the hiring spectrum, it’s important to
consider what you can do today to prepare for the hiring recovery. The following are recommendations to consider:

Workforce Planning
