HR Outsourcing News Roundup: Recruiting Edition
No CommentsTalent acquisition is an essential element of any organization’s success. Without the right people in the right roles, it’s impossible to grow and thrive. And recruiting top talent is getting increasingly difficult as the economy continues to improve and more employers make plans to hire.
To help you in your recruiting efforts, this week’s HR Outsourcing News Roundup brings you articles and blog posts with advice and information about finding and hiring the best talent for your organization.
Executives Aren’t Always Right: Why Social Media Recruiting Has A Place In Every Industry. Forbes: “Frank, informative and engaging, Fredrik [Tukk, head of communication, marketing and branding at Danish offshore drilling company, Maersk Drilling] explained to an audience of HR and employee benefits professionals at British trade show, Employee Benefits Live, how he used Facebook to help achieve his senior executives’ objective of doubling the size of the company within five years, which required the appointment of 3,000 new staff.”
Trends in Diversity Recruiting: U.S. Employers Weigh In. U.S. News & World Report: “…AT&T’s strategy centers around partnering with schools that have healthy populations of diverse students, including many historically black colleges and universities. The company also sponsors and attends national and local events with organizations such as Career Opportunities for Students with Disabilities, Student Veterans of America, Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing, Society of Women Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Great Minds in STEM and many more.”
What Potential Employees Look for in the Recruitment Process. Chief Executive: “As the talent shortage continues, human resources leaders are challenged to ensure sustainable talent pipelines for their organizations. A one-size-fits-all approach to engaging prospective employees does not work. Employers must evaluate their talent acquisition strategy and customize job seekers’ experiences based on the talent they want to hire.”
As More Employers Plan Hires, Recruiting Workers Will Get Harder Still. ERE: “Making recruiting even more difficult is the still tentative willingness of many workers to change jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says job openings (as of August, the most recent month available) hit 4.4 million, the level seen before the recession. However, the number of workers quitting their job was 2.3 million, still significantly below the pre-recession rate.”
Anatomy of an Effective Social Media Hiring Strategy. Undercover Recruiter: “Some brands think they have to be on every social channel available, but this is not true. Do some research to discover where your ideal candidates are hanging out and how they currently engage online. What seems to capture their professional interest? What are they sharing? What do they like? What issues are they concerned about? You need to focus on the channels that will best leverage your company’s brand presence and your resources.”
