How to attract employees in 2015, when the talent war is raging and potential candidates spend more and more time scanning the reputation of their future employers?
With only 7% of Gen-Y (born betwene 1980 and 2000) willing to join a Fortune 500 company, and with 47% of them giving as much importance to the brand's reputation online than to the actual position, it's high time recruiters get on social media to create meaningful connections.
In this presentation we gave at Social Recruiting Asia 2015 in Singapore (part of HRM Asia conferences), we wanted to share our vision of social media, and how Content Marketing is THE topic you should be spending time on.
We're then showcasing a few case studies from the industry best practices, and share a plan and a few tools to help you go online in a structured way, with a consistent brand, and the means to be visible for your target audiences.
