Online is Changing the Recruitment Process

You’re advertising for a new position within your company: these days, candidates may find your advertised position on one of many social networking sites, an online job board, or (if you rank high in online searches) possibly your company careers page. This means a whole new rethink of how and where you find your next hires. This will only become more critical as we meet some of the low unemployment numbers projected for 2011 and on in Canada.

As we both advertise and collect résumé information for clients we are able to measure and compare what works for our clients, and what does not. With the advent of online social media and the strong adoption of online usage, recruiting methods are changing drastically. Typical methods of newspaper advertising, attendance to career fairs, or posting jobs on the company website will not work as it once did. Advertising the openings now is much more complicated.

At HireGround, we take the complication out of the process by offering key services to human resources. The first service is the ability to advertise all your job requirements on the HireGround Job Board. The second is to offer applicant tracking software: software that allows you to manage your company’s career pages and intake of all résumé submissions into a sortable and searchable database.
