Quality advice is not readily available. Media buyers, job boards and suppliers are rubbing their hands together knowing that recruitment is desperate and so resourcing/talent department leaders are stuck between doing what they are being asked to do (ticking boxes and spending) and doing what they know is right (researched based integrated recruitment marketing campaigns).
Budgets are inflated, cost per application has become the new thing and predictive outcomes have simply disappeared but it doesn’t have to be like this. (ever thought about and actually worked out; cost per ‘meaningful’ application?, cost per interview?, cost per offer?)
Candidates want to know what it feels like to work at a company before they join, “what’s in it for me” but how do you get this across, it’s more than just a job board advert, you need to bring to life what it is you do, why someone should join you and then prove it.
