Top Ways to Get Started with Recruitment Marketing THIS WEEK
Check to see if your job postings show up in a job board during a Google search.
Put yourself in the shoes of a candidate by filling out an online application — then go through the process on mobile.
Read reviews of your company on Glassdoor and respond to any outstanding comments.
Make a list of employees you believe have a compelling story that could be recorded for testimonials.
Top Ways to Get Started with Recruitment Marketing THIS MONTH
Interview 1-3 top performers in your company to build or refresh your personas. Then, you can start building personalized content targeted to them across your career site.
Re-visit your job descriptions and refresh them to ensure they’re clear, persuasive, and align with your employer brand.
If no one has been assigned to regularly review and respond to comments made on public-facing review sites, like Glassdoor, assign that task to a team member and develop an ongoing strategy.
Record testimonials from a few employees (or empower them to record it from their homes), and post them across your career site and social networks.
Thanks for joining us for our kick-off week!
