Matt Adam Talks Recruitment Marketing in Podcast and Blog

Topics: career sites, employment branding, candidate experience, recruitment analytics

Posted by NAS on Feb 17, 2021 10:19:43 AM

Matt Adam, our Chief Talent Strategist, has been sharing his insight into recruitment marketing trends for 2021 in a variety of venues.

He is this week’s guest on the Talent Tide podcast with Chris Nichols. Matt and Chris share a lively 40-minute discussion that covers a variety of topics, including the importance of employment branding, how to create a career site that meets candidate expectations and the vital importance of using analytics to drive decisions.

Here's Matt on the need for agility in 2021:

"We’ve talked and bandied around this concept of agility this year. You know, I think companies have found out that they’ve had to be more agile and more responsive than ever before. Like, look at us. We’re working from home from our Zoom in ways we never would have a year ago. So, I think that ability to continue to adapt and change to whatever the market throws at us is going to be really important. And that plays right into your employment brand. The best employment brands are living, breathing entities. They change you as your organization changes. They can be aspirational for certain, but they have to be grounded in reality and fluid in a way that they can adapt to what’s going on with your candidate and employee base."

A Better Candidate Experience: 3 Tips to Improve your Career Site

Topics: career sites, employment branding, SEO, candidate experience

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.
