We trawl through and judge candidates on their LinkedIn summaries all day, every day trying to determine if they have what it takes to do the job we or our client needs them to do. But have you ever stopped to consider what a candidate might think of your LinkedIn summary if the shoe were on the other foot? Many recruiters seem to forget that LinkedIn works both ways.

There are simple rules that must be adhered to if you want to attract the winning candidates on your career site - stun with your visuals, wow with the ease of navigation, and make the content interesting and relevant. Listing vacancies is an essential element of any career website, but it shouldn’t be the only element. Candidates will only become future employees if you have been able to sell your organisation from the get-go.

Forget summer vacation. For recruiters, the several months following graduation are often the busiest of the entire year. And it’s no wonder. With about 2.8 million new college graduates expected to enter the workforce this season, recruiters have their work cut out for them when it comes to finding the best of the bunch. But grabbing the attention of today’s innovative, tech-savvy grads is no easy feat—recruiters have to put in an extra effort to attract, hire, and retain this talented crew.

What percentage of your hires come from employee referral? If you’re like most organizations, chances are you’re under 50%, and that should be your goal. Even if you’re already at, say, 30%, the benefits of hiring 50%+ by referral are enormous: you’ll speed up time to hire, increase retention, and ultimately end up with happier and more motivated employees.

So far, 2016 has been a strong year for the US labor market, with 628,000 jobs added in the first quarter. This follows the steady trend of gains seen in recent years, and we expect Friday’s jobs report from the federal government will show this growth continuing into the second quarter of 2016, as employer demand for workers remains robust. Indeed data, meanwhile, shows that demand is strong not only across most industries (with the exception of energy-related jobs ) but also regionally.

Writing a great job post is a feat on its own, but it turns out so is getting people to apply to it. Don’t think so? Currently, unemployment in the U.S. is at a post-recession low, hovering around 5% (down from nearly 10% in 2009). The situation in Europe is similar with unemployment figures down to 10% from above 12% in 2013. While this has brought on a lot of exciting work for recruiting teams and staffing agencies, it also means that the competition for talent is increasing.

We’ve all seen some hilarious job board applications with completely irrelevant experience to what we’re looking for. Funnily enough a few months spent working in your dad’s mechanics probably won’t see you getting interviewed for a senior technical role with an £80K base salary. There are of course some great candidates on job boards but a lot of the time it’s easy to see that some people use job boards to ‘spam out’ their information to any job that’s on screen.
