Personal Branding in Recruitment (and why it matters)The time has long gone when a recruiter of dubious moral and ethical standing can hide behind the glossy corporate image of their particular employer of choice. In the age of advanced recruitment technology, social media, digital content sharing and mobilised networks, a recruiter’s own personal brand has taken on far greater importance and prominence.

Thing is, we probably all know this yet, when we talk talent communities of any kind we get all hot under the collar about the conversations, engagement, employer brand blah blah blah. But, we do actually need all these conversations to take place, photos to be uploaded, friends to be found because every action, every conversation, every like – counts. It counts for advertisers which is where Facebook make (some of) their money. But there will be a bigger picture as to how Facebook monetise all of this information; but that's nothing new. For talent communities we need to be thinking much further ahead about the real goal. Ultimately, the utopia of recruitment is access to the best people exactly when you want them, exactly when they want to be found. Not just skills though, we need to mix in attitude, desire, interest and timing. This is ultimately where the data from external sites such as Twitter and Facebook, added to your own community data really start to add up. Hogwash maybe but let's see. Like Facebook and Google and Twitter; it's about the data. The things they offer are purely there to get you to do stuff which they save into big data banks of information and monetise. Don't get me wrong though. The whole point about making the recruitment process more engaging and conversational is of value to both parties but this ultimately to get the best match for job seeker and employer. Of course it is important that unsuccessful job seekers are treated well and they leave with a positive brand experience. If you are a retailer for example, chances are the job seeker is also a customer so they should be treated accordingly. But the same applies to any employer; treat job seekers like customers because one day you never quite know where they will be. Also, there is a good chance these days that they will share their experience with the friends…. you get the point. But to me it is the rich data that can be collected and used to make the recruitment more amazon like than it is today. G4S are already on that journey offering up jobs that match based on various activities the job seeker has taken. I'm sure there is a lot more besides but we are all just starting that journey. G4S stepped up to the plate, so who's going to join them? More leaders required to start to transform the face of recruitment and make it what we dream of. So, I am a talent community fan. It's they way that recruitment, marketing, sales, customer support is heading and it's going at 100mph. OK the term may not be one that everyone likes but the concept of better communication, choice of communication and style of communication should not be lost on any of us.

I wonder what percentage of references are actually real. You could put your best friend down as a reference and just tell him what to say. Is there no other way people can do there due diligence ? Maybe when people leave a company they should get a report signed off by both HR and the Manager, then use that report for the next job. Sometimes people just clash and things don’t work out. So in a scenario like that they could possibly use 2 of there previous employers reports? I mean at the end of the day even something like that can be forged? Isn’t the reason we have 3 month trial periods to find out whether the person is right hire? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Give a surprised or weak answer to any of them, and red flags fly. Hiring managers may conclude that a candidate is ill-prepared, and thus the job seeker can look forward to more months of firing off résumés in the worst job market in years. Gotcha No.1: Why have you been out of work for an extended period of time? Nettles says a job seeker’s anger toward his former employer sometimes surfaces when answering this question. Yet a candidate who speaks negatively about a former employer “shows a lack of self-control or discipline,” he says. Another get-out-of-jail answer: “Sometimes, they say they want to mull over the question and come back to it, which is a good response if they’re caught off guard,” adds Nettles. ARUN, a former senior vice president and department head at SMBC Leasing and Finance, says he would be shocked if the firing question didn’t come up during CIO job interviews. If you’re on the receiving end of this question, he says, it’s a good bet you’re needed to fix some serious problems. Gotcha No. 5: If the CEO or someone very senior in the organization comes to you with an urgent problem, how would you handle it? Gotcha No. 6: What books have you read lately? Gotcha No. 7: Have you published any technical documents or white papers? Gotcha No. 8: A year from now, what is going to keep you at this company? Gotcha No. 9: How long will it take before you make a positive impact? Every IT manager wants to hire someone who can get up to speed in a new environment without a lot of training or hand-holding. Nettles tries to determine how confident the job seeker is in her abilities and how well she grasped the job description and key responsibilities, in hopes of gauging her ability to quickly make a positive impact. If the job seeker understands the job for which she’s interviewing and the challenges associated with it, she ought to be able to explain how long it will take before she has an impact. As a CIO, Tomko encountered job seekers who were intent on discussing all of the accomplishments on their résumés. So he would press them by asking how much they really contributed to the accomplishment. Gotcha No. 11: If you were able to get 20 percent cost savings, could you have gotten thirty or forty percent? Gotcha No. 12: What are your weaknesses and some of your failures? Despite the fact that questions about strengths, weaknesses and failures come up in every job interview, job seekers continue to stumble on them, says Nettles.

Not any more. PEOPLE LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE You know what you do when you want to buy something. Google it, read online reviews, customer feedback, who bought what etc. Ultimately your decision is swayed by people you do not know and by the actions they take. YOUR EMPLOYEES SAY IT HOW IT REALLY IS Even if social networks are blocked employees will have their say. Other people will hear and discuss. Opinions will be formed.

Ah – Ambassadors – it’s generally recognised that your employee’s are/can be the best ambassadors of your employer brand. A lot of my Aunts’s and Uncle’s worked in Marks & Spencer’s when I was growing up – they were lifetime employee’s and I remember they were the very best ambassador’s a company could hope for- they weren’t shy about telling you all about the benefits (and trials and tribulations, of course) of working for what was certainly a premium employer, back in the day in Belfast. It’s no coincidence that so many companies are using their staff in their TV advertising – Sainsbury’s with their Mum returner to work character – brilliant dual branding ad for the employer and consumer brand. B&Q with all their regional staff… Originally posted here: Tags: aunts, brilliant-dual, drnf, employee, employer, party, regional, supreme Important Information On Your Account At CareerOne.com.auI received an email from CareerOne today asking: Dear Careerone Employer, As a valued customer, you are receiving this email as our records show that you have posted a job ad with CareerOne.com.au and we want to make sure your account remains active. We are currently updating our records to ensure we continue to offer our advertisers the best service and support. As a result, any accounts that have not been accessed in the last 18 months will be deleted. To keep your account active, simply login to your account today. Forgotten your password? We can resend it to you. I appreciate the need to keep business and sometimes the way to do this is to get customers who have dropped off, back on board. I have not advertised with CareerOne for over three years. And I daresay there’d be many others in my position. Is this email going to inspire me to begin advertising with them again? Unlikely. There’s nothing wrong with a phone call. This seems to be a lazy way of doing a necessary job.

The company specialises in Accounting, Insolvency and Financial Planning.It got me thinking… Do we really need to know what the gender of the candidate when they apply for a job? Certainly for some roles it may be necessary and the employer should clarify the job advertisement with an exemption notice from the relevant authority.But it dose open the possibility of discrimination towards the job seeker.
