You are going to be hearing a lot about recruitment marketing in 2016. A LOT. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Candidates are like consumers. In fact, they are technically a recruiter’s consumers. We’re hoping they buy what we have to sell: jobs. But just like regular consumers, candidates have choices. As consumers themselves, they’re used to being able to research anything and everything they want about a product before they buy it, and they expect to be able to do the same with your

KPIs are a recruiting necessity, but recruiting managers often get it totally wrong when they’re figuring out how to measure recruiter performance. For some, it’s all about the bottom line – they only care about the number of placements made by each recruiter. Then there are recruitment managers that get granular on vanity metrics like numbers of searches or number of LinkedIn connections.

You only have up to 1 hour to get to know your candidate during the interview. Not much. You probably want to hire programmers who are flexible, adapt quickly in fast-changing environment and, above all, perform well under tight deadlines. Therefore, assessing soft skills, next to verifying programming skills, prove to be crucial as they can to a great extent influence delivering results.

When was the last time you took a vacation? If you are like me, it’s been a while. Many American don’t know how to take a vacation. When you work at a global company you notice colleagues based in Paris or Berlin take at least two week vacation. Sometimes they take a month off. And when they say they’re on vacation, they are on vacation. They’re not checking emails.

In the next year, among employed adults, 62 percent have very little interest in looking for a new job. Surprisingly, that percentage is higher among unemployed adults. This means the search for qualified candidates takes concerted effort, and a well-written job description helps. Longer job descriptions get, on average, 30% more applications. Optimize it for even more exposure: Choose keywords that relate to your company, brand, and products and services, and use location-specific terms.
