So much money has been wasted on sourcing job candidates by large corporations that have not understood intelligent ways to retain these candidates. In a rough market you need to be very smart with how you use your money and it will pay off with your nurturing campaign.
The holes in the funding starts by having sad interviews, skill-less recruiters, tedious application process and boring job board ads. This is the result of not using fundamentals with recruiting and can cause millions of dollars being wasted.
Job boards are a waste of money the more that time passes on. Many people feel that it is a cheap way to find job candidates, but they don't go where the ideal candidates are hanging out on the internet.
It isn't often the person with the best resume is the ideal candidate, because to be honest most of the successful people are not used to updating a resume. They are too sought after that their resume quality is not that important. A lot of the active candidates that can't find jobs usually don't have the skills to warrant being interviewed.
A lot of the traffic to job boards are decreasing as years go on. 3 years ago Monster and Career Builder had 1% of the job traffic and now it is down to less than .2%.
If you are smart then you will start using niche sites or social networks to get to your job candidates. It gives you a great way to interact with ideal candidates before competing recruiters find your people.
Job candidates begin not by leaving their job, but by being curious about what is out there. If you can reach them soon and build their trust then can make all the difference. It can be evident even in employee referral programs.
A very wise tool to use is the TalentSeekr by EnticeLabs to get a good connection to candidates in their nice sites. In a bad economy it is a smart decision being that it is a tenth of the cost of job boards with 5 times the reach of the same job boards. - 15359
