5. WEB
Offline Channels
.
Hiring - WEB 2.0
Recruitment for me is a Sales Function, where I as a recruiter is selling a product i.e. my organization brand,
Job offering to a customer called Candidate. So it is essential for me to understand what is the trigger point
for my customer and how can I leverage my brand to provide him/her that need.
How to Leverage?
P.S: Social as a forum is very Volatile. It needs 24X7 Monitoring(e.g. Likes, Shares, Reverts on them) so that the buzz is
not killed
Advantages of Using a Social Forum for Hiring
• Time spent by people today on Social Forums is substantially high compared to sources available
earlier e.g. Print etc.
• ROI using Social Forums is more compared to other sources however the TAT do take a hit as 70% of
the times you are targeting a passive Candidate
• Engagement ratio is better on Social Forums with multiple communities available to share.
Linkedin FaceBook / Twitter / Blog’s Youtube
• Self Profile: Make it Organised.
• Flash Status( Open Jobs etc.) to All
Connections.
(Profile Tag Line or Status Update)
• Monitor Network Activity and Become a
Contributor than a follower
• Leverage Search Functionality ( People,
Company , Organization etc.)
• Use LinkedIn Groups and Post updates in the
Group.
• Monitor Organizations from where people
are joining and organization to which we are
losing people.
• Job Postings
• Facebook Search to track people.
• Facebook Company Page – By iframe we
can call a microsite of careers page to
ensure same experience and less load.
• Sending message thru FB is free as of now.
• Link FB, Twitter Handle and Linked in to
have enough virility.
• Leveraging Apps like Bullhorn Social for
easy Virality on Forums.
• Blog Based Engagement or
Communication(Best Practices etc.)
**Though I am not too comfortable
broadcasting open positions on my Personal
Page.
• Posting Company Video’s
• Video Testimonial's of
Employee.
• Video representation of
different roles on youtube.
6. Initiatives
I would like to describe activities which I have experienced as one of the best practices employed by New
Age Recruiters.
Leader’s Talk
Technology Leader’s addressing people the definition of innovation etc. pertaining to the organization and how leader’s or
organization intend to support them.
Coding Forums
Hackathon’s
Hackathon is a Code Warzone which is executed within the organization over the weekends. The idea of Hackathon is
inviting Programmer’s or Technology Enthusiast to share
• A new algorithm.
• To code and come up with something new as a product.
• To crack a set of Code and win goodies.
• Form a Coding Community which is not just centric to your organization but with Coder’s Community in larger forum.
Product Evangelization
Product Evangelization is a platform, where a Web based problem/observation is identified related to Customer
Experience. People are given 24 Hours to come up with a Business Plan .
The plans are reviewed and brainstormed the immediate next day and the most experiential plan is given rewards etc.
