NO SUITABLE JOBS HERE !!!

Posted by admin, February-23-2012

Your employer brand is important to you and your relationship with your prospective employees and their application experience matters.

So when a prospective candidate lands on your corporate web site, clicks through to your career site and shows an interest in applying to you, everything should work seamlessly, but all too often, candidates complain that it doesn’t work. Now there are a couple of scenarios that we identified a long time ago which are easy to address and will improve the candidate experience as well as help you to build your database. These are:

1. Candidate arrives at a career site, they search for a specific role and up pops the - “There are no suitable jobs matching your criteria at this time”,
2. Alternatively they arrive at the career site and are met by the message; “We are not currently recruiting” or “There are no jobs available at this time”

In both cases the potential candidate leaves without the employer capturing their details.

Sometimes someone has had the foresight to ask the candidate to email their CV, but this leads to even more consternation when that CV goes into a spread sheet or a filing cabinet and the candidate never hears from anyone again. Either way, it’s not doing your employer brand any good as you have a disappointed candidate who you have spent money and time attracting to your site and a wasted opportunity.

To combat this wasted/missed opportunity we developed a clever little piece of technology that is placed on your career site to capture the details of any one who is interested in working for your company; now or in the future. We have used super quick parsing technology (the conversion of free-form resume into structured information suitable for storage, reporting and manipulation by a computer) to make it really easy for the candidate to upload their CV within 2 clicks and then to automatically store the CV in your database, so that you can contact the job seeker at a later stage. Our sophisticated filtering and matching, then ensures that when you do have a vacancy, candidates are presented carefully and intelligently matched against your vacancy, saving you lots of recruitment fees and not inconsiderable time and hassle.

We think that the point at which the candidate engages with the employer is crucial for recruitment. This is an easy to implement functionality providing an opportunity to address this issue, without creating extra work for the employer or the candidate. If you want to find out more just contact us.

Meanwhile, we would be interested in hearing your views on the things that matter most to you when it comes down to your employer brand or alternatively if you are a job seeker or a recruitment agent reading this, here is your chance to put across your view about what employers do that impress you and what doesn’t……
