Cut the fat. Application Form Filename Structure

Making the candidate conform to your recruitment systems filename structure is stupid. Technology is used to improve the application process - not complicate it.Earlier this week I had a call from an Employer who just implemented a new online recruitment system... "Thomas what do you think of our new recruitment system" [silence] "great isn't it".Hello? We are nearly in 2010. This should not be happening.Original blog post…See More

Carly Eriksen commented on Thomas Shaw's blog post 'No one wants to follow your Recruitment Agency on Twitter'

The most effective way for a Recruiter to use Twitter is to create a Profile that is specific to an industry and/or a discipline and post relevant news and information to attract the type of contacts needed. People will follow you if what you are…

Saleem Qureshi commented on Thomas Shaw's blog post 'No one wants to follow your Recruitment Agency on Twitter'

I think that a more intelligent way to use twitter in a recruitment strategy is, rather than positing jobs up there, one should directly recruit from twitter. We were looking for a CFA who could communicate with our investors, so we started…

Duane Roberts commented on Thomas Shaw's blog post 'No one wants to follow your Recruitment Agency on Twitter'

Spot on blog. There are many in our industry who are looking for that quick fix and not interested in building a brand that deserves to be followed. Twitter needs to be a part of a larger effort that includes LinkedIn groups (as Mark points out) and…

Kevin Jenkins commented on Thomas Shaw's blog post 'No one wants to follow your Recruitment Agency on Twitter'

You're absolutely right, Thomas. I see these job posting recruiter accounts on twitter and think it is such a waste and with all due respect; plain tacky. I would be surprised if a recruiter ever got a placement this way. I think twitter is a…

Over the past few months, I have been watching Deloitte New Zealand build a structured (and very strategic) presence on Facebook. Today, they have released the next piece of the puzzle. Deloitte NZ will be hosting a live-streaming video/Facebook chat session for potential Graduates.

Integrating the LinkedIn API with your Job Board/Recruitment database

Posted on December 1, 2009 at 7:01am 0 Comments 0 Likes

Last week, I wrote a blog post about how LinkedIn has released a public API for developers to build 3rd party applications using the database. Today, I thought I would show you how easy it was to create a application utilising the LinkedIn API. I want you to forget that LinkedIn is a social networking site, and think about it as a massive information database. A database you can now… Continue

No one wants to follow your Recruitment Agency on Twitter

Posted on October 8, 2009 at 7:38am 8 Comments 0 Likes

I had an interesting call from a Recruiter today. He was complaining about the fact that no one wants to follow his Recruitment Agency on Twitter. I spent some time talking about the ways you can use Twitter in the Recruitment process. But he didn't care.

We talked about creating a social recruiting strategy to interact with the users. He didn't care.

This is not an unusual situation I find myself in. Nearly all Recruiters I talk with about using some type of social media… Continue
