In the grand scheme of ‘recruitonomics’, we see that at the same time demand for candidates is increasing, the supply of candidates has dropped, meaning it is more difficult to acquire candidates. If you want to change the outcome of your recruitment advertising, you either need to bid more (than your competitors) or look at how to impact apply rates in order to 'get more bang for your buck'. Whats in this report? The clicks where... The new apply rate numbers? 5.6% in 2018 now down to 5.0 in 2019, why is that going down?

Head over to WorkHere.com and be sure to tell them heard it the RecTech podcast. Chris Russell: All right, so today's audio is an interview with Jerome Ternyck, CEO of SmartRecruiters, one of my favorite ATS's out there. The first one I ever used actually as a recruiter. I sat down for him at their San Francisco offices for a 30 minute conversation, and I think you're really going to enjoy this one. He was very open and honest and authentic as he always is and enjoy the audio. Chris Russell: Okay. I'm here with Jerome Ternyck, CEO of SmartRecruiters in their San Francisco offices on Bush Street and had a chance to come down here after the TA week events and come see Jerome. He's always been inviting me out here and finally got a chance to make it to San Fran and SmartRecruiter. So Jerome, first of all, it's great to see you again and how's life today? Jerome Ternyck: Likewise. Thanks for having me on the show. And yeah, life is good. Life is good. You're actually catching me today on January the 30th which is exactly 24 hours before the end of our fiscal year so we're busy signing deals left and right, rushing into the end of the year preparing budgets. And I think on Friday evening everybody will be resting for weekend. But just for the weekend, because we have our Hiring Success conference coming up in two weeks on Feb 11 and 12. When we'll have a thousand people coming here and so we're excited. It's busy time here. Chris Russell: Yeah, definitely. Quick history lesson for people who know me. SmartRecruiters was the very first ATS I ever used as it recruited back in 2014-ish around there. I picked them because they seemed to be a modern platform back then, and they still are. They had an app and things like that at the time, which were pretty new. I've always kind of admired SmartRecruiters from afar anyway, and also as a user in that time. But just give the audience a sense of where you guys are now in terms of customer base and employee-wise and things like that. Just give us a quick overview. Jerome Ternyck: Yeah. So we started the company in 2011. We spent four years in R&D and really what we were building, what we aimed [inaudible 00:00:03:36]. Okay, what is a generational successor to applicant tracking systems? Applicant tracking systems were born out of we need to automate the file cabinet. Resumes were paper based; the internet arrived. Oh my God, candidates can fill in forms, and I can track them in a system. But this whole idea that people are actually tracked as applicants in a system like even the name is wrong. Applicant tracking system doesn't say hire amazing people system. Jerome Ternyck: And having build myself an ATS between 2000 and 2010 when I started SmartRecruiters, I was like, okay, really getting ready. Take a blank sheet of paper and what do we want to get out here? And so we landed on three core things that are talent acquisition suite should do. One, it should help me attract candidates. That speaks to marketing and how you attract candidates and advertising and referrals and good website and good candidate experience. And there's a whole lot of things that need to be done in the area of CRM and marketing and so on. Jerome Ternyck: Second, we said managers have to use it and we have to double down on collaboration because recruiters cannot be successful if the managers aren't playing with them in their system. And so we focused on collaboration, hiring manager engagement, scorecard scheduling, making more that process like super smooth and efficient. And third, it's about recruiter and recruiter productivity. And recruiters nowadays, they're being asked to move mountains, but they have tools and technologies from decades ago. Chris Russell: They're being held back. Jerome Ternyck: And they're completely held back, absolutely. So giving recruiters all of their data processes and sup

LI: post mentioned: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6620785258625409024 Serge Boudreau: This is Serge Boudreau, manager of talent acquisition at BURNCO Rock Products, and I'm next on the RecTech podcast.

Each month, you'll hear from vendors shaping the recruiting world along with recruiters who will tell you how they use technology to hire talent.

You're listening to the only podcast that helps employers and recruiters connect with more candidates through technology-inspired conversations. We're all about the new tools and tactics to land more talent. Today's episode is a practitioner edition. RecTech Podcast sponsored in part at our friends at Emissary.ai, the text recruiting platform.

Serge Boudreau runs talent acquisition for BURNCO Rock Products out of Calgary, Alberta. He's also a listener of the show, so I'm extremely glad he's about to make is RecTech debut. Serge, welcome. Serge Boudreau: Thank you, Chris. I'm very excited to be here or talking to you. Definitely, I've been listening to your podcast almost since the inception, so for you to ask me to come onboard was very exciting on my end. Chris Russell: Awesome. I always love it when I get a listener on the show itself. So appreciate that volunteering there. I was looking at your LinkedIn profile before we get started today. You got an interesting background overall. I want to start there, I think. You've worked time at Kelly Services. You worked at Indeed Canada and also Workopolis. I'm assuming you were there at Workopolis when the takeover happened by Indeed. Would that be a correct assumption? Serge Boudreau: Actually, no. Chris Russell: Oh. Serge Boudreau: I was at Indeed when Indeed purchased Workopolis, which was very interesting. Chris Russell: Okay. So the reverse, okay. Serge Boudreau: Yeah, I actually had joined Indeed already. It was interesting. Like you said, my background is quite varied. I actually started my career in talent acquisition as a recruiter. Then got promoted in through a different recruitment manager roles. Then decide to really go on the vendor side and go at Workopolis. During that time, Workopolis was very dominant here in Canada as far as the job site of choice. I think it was really Workopolis and Monster had quite a bit of market share here as well. I had the pleasure of being in charge of sales and operation for Western Canada and Quebec for a while. I do speak French as well, but spent quite a bit of time there. Unfortunately, when Indeed came into the market or fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, it really took a lot of market share and really hurt Workopolis. Serge Boudreau: Eventually, pretty much led to Indeed acquiring in that point, but a couple factors that happened is here in Western Canada, especially in Calgary, it's very oil and gas focused, the industry. So in 2014 when oil and gas just crashed, also did the recruitment aspects of it. It really put Workopolis in strain in Western Canada, hence I moved to Kelly Services, which was actually my first foray in a staffing firm. I learned a lot, both on the permanent placement, but mostly, we did a lot of contract for contract workers for large oil and gas. A lot of the workforce became a contract workforce as they were hiring just based on the economy. Serge Boudreau: Then had the pleasure to do a very similar role at Indeed where I basically led the Western sales team here in Canada. I did Quebec for a while as well there, so it was kind of going back to my old days at Workopolis. Then one day, we acquired Workopolis, and it felt like the old Godfather line, "When you think you're out, they pull you back in." It's how I felt. I have so many great memories and everything at Workopolis, but, obviously, Indeed in the Canadian marketplace and also in the US has been very dominant. Chris Russell: Yeah. Rumor has it that ZipRecruiter was also trying to bid for Workopolis. Do

HR Lancers a new Marketplace for Freelance Recruiters and Human Resources Consultants Thats right HR is going gig! Employers and freelancers can now create profiles, post gigs and be found in the first and only niche gig platform dedicated to HR. “There are thousands of freelance HR consultants and recruiters and now they have a place to call home, HR Lancers was born out of my own frustration with established gig platforms who charge exorbitant fees and lack relevant HR gigs.” Members can create a profile for free and be matched to available gigs from categories such as Benefits, Compensation, Payroll, Training, Sourcing, Recruiting and more. The new site which can be found online at hrlancers.com allows industry freelancers to post profiles, search for work, setup email job alerts at no cost to them. Members only pay if they choose to feature themselves in the freelancer directory. Popular freelancers such as Katrina Kibben, Keirsten Greggs and Jim Stroud have already created profiles on the platform. Recruiting expert Jim Stroud says HR Lancers is a much needed resource. “Specialists are affordable and amateurs are expensive, when you consider the time and money wasted because of inexperience. This is why HR Lancers is a premiere worth noting. With the gig economy booming and HR challenges abounding, it only makes sense to have a platform that provides the worker flexibility so many in the labor force are demanding. In light of that, a niche site for the HR industry is all the more logical.” HR Lancers allows employers to post projects and gigs that are contract only positions. They can also seamlessly browse the open freelancer directory and connect directly with freelancers through keyword and category search. Current pricing for employers is as follows: 10 Day Gigs are free for a limited time, $29 for a 30 Day Featured Gig or $19 per month for an unlimited subscription.

So, head over to workhere.com and tell them you heard it on the RecTech podcast ------------------------------------------ ONE ATS APPLY TO RULE THEM ALL Now that 2020 is here and the candidate experience is top of mind for many talent acquisition teams, lets talk about the ATS experience for job seekers. To get more specific, lets focus on the apply experience. For too long, the average job seeker has had to navigate a myriad of logins from disparate systems of record, forced to create and remember passwords and usernames in order to apply. But jumping through these hoops has made job search a painful one for candidates. It's time to start reversing that trend. The 'login to apply' feature prominent on most applicant tracking software is an element of days gone by. It is a relic of software past, and if I had a choice I would ban this barrier to apply. The modern job seeker has zero interest in creating another user account to apply to your company. They simply want to upload their resume quickly and move on. Appcast, the programmatic ad platform says that only about 6.6% of candidate traffic converts into an actual apply on desktop. And its even lower on mobile at 4.7%. Though there are a variety of factors as to why someone doesn't apply, making them login is certainly a big reason they don't. There is a use case for having to create a login. But only if its a seamless process. The ideal solution would require adopting an industry wide single sign-on process shared by all recruiting software vendors. Indeed has their apply button, so does LinkedIn. Why don't ATS vendors band together and create one of their own? Imagine a world where each ATS could have their own version of Easy Apply! Two things would happen in my opinion. Job seekers would rejoice. Applications would rise. There are hundreds of ATS platforms in the market so this idea presents quite a challenge. For it to gain traction it would have to start with the bigger players like WorkDay, Brassring and Taleo's of the world to lead the way. The rest of the industry would be sure to follow if they saw the major recruiting software companies sponsor such an open source initiative. If I were the CEO of companies like iCIMS, Greenhouse and others, I would take this suggestion seriously. Job seekers have the RIGHT to an efficient and speedy apply process. A single shared apply account could make that a reality. Pipe dream? Probably. But its worth throwing the idea out there for the powers that be to contemplate. Recruiting software companies must adapt to the times or risk becoming extinct in this new world of experienced based so

Sponsored by Workhere.com and Emissary.ai Hi, this is Kerry Noone, director of Employer Branding for CVS Health, and I'm next on the Rec Tech Podcast. Announcer: Welcome to Rec Tech, the Podcast where recruiting and technology intersect. Each month you'll hear from vendors shaping the recruiting world, along with recruiters who'll tell you how they use technology to hire talent. Now here's your host, the mad scientist of online recruiting, Chris Russell. Chris Russell: Yes, indeed. You're listening to the only Podcast that helps recruiters and employers connect with more [inaudible 00:00:32] technology, inspire conversations. We're all about the new tools and tactics to landmark talent. Today's show is a practitioner edition. The Rec Tech Podcast is sponsored in part by our friends at Emissary.ai the Text Recruiting Platform, your next superstars in demand and on the move, and so the easiest way to connect with them faster and more effectively wherever they are. Use their tool such as a one-to-one text campaigns, group campaigns, share by text, apply reminders, all of which allow you to capture more applicants at that point to apply, and get them into your system, go to Emissary.ai, self schedule a demo, and let them know you heard it on the Rec Tech Podcast. Chris Russell: All right. Kerry Noone is a recruiting marketing and employer branding professional with more than 25 years of experience in developing and delivering knowledge based solutions through digital marketing. Kerry has been instrumental in launching successful media... social media programs that empower employees to share their personal and professional stories as corporate brand ambassadors. She currently manages the CVS health recruit marketing and advertising, and is transforming the CVS Health Candidate experience, though the robust content strategy, recruitment marketing guidelines, mobile apply in a fun, emotional and a purpose-driven recruitment value proposition campaign. I've known Kerry for a number of years going back to her days at Amtrak, and I'm finally glad she's on the show. So Kerry, welcome to Rec Tech. Kerry Noone: Thank you. I'm excited to be here as well. Chris Russell: Definitely. I was looking forward to the conversation, and I'm glad they reached out and pitched me you, to talk to you, because you're definitely someone I want to... I've admired over the years going back to your time at Antrak there. And you've always been a really good recruiting marketing person overall. And so I think you have a wealth of knowledge, and looking forward to hearing what you have to say today. So I guess let's set the scene first. If you could just start out by telling us a little bit about CVS Health's hiring goals for next year, and what you guys are up to lately. Kerry Noone: Sure. So we... about a year ago we integrated with Aetna to become one company. So our goal for 2020... it has been for 2019 and continues to be for 2020, is to integrate the two brands. So not only go down to one system, we'll have one career site as opposed to the two career sites that we currently have. Chris Russell: Oh yeah. Kerry Noone: But then also from a brand perspective, it's making sure that our candidates understand that we're one company, and that we're working towards common goals. So I think that that's probably an opportunity and a challenge for us for 2020. Chris Russell: And tell me about your team there at CVS Health, as far as your employer branding goes, how big is it? And maybe kind of define the roles if you could. Kerry Noone: Sure. So I've actually... I'm very fortunate. I think one of the things that I'm most proud about is the team that we have. When I first started in 2016 we... I was a team of two, it was me and one other person. And over the past three-and-a-half years or so we've continued to take on more work at the organization within talent acquisition as well as outside of talent acquisition. And along with that... those new responsibilities came a larger team. Kerry Noone: So currently I am at a team... or a total team of six, and we are all very hands on, we've created a process. So we have a lot of requests that come in every single day, and we created a process to help streamline that and monitor the workload. Selfishly, I enjoy having work life balance. So of course I want to make sure that my team is equally as balanced as I am. Kerry Noone: So those... we have a primary secondary contact for everything that we do. The team is made up of, as I said, six people. So we have two people who focused on... one person who focuses on high volume hiring campaigns. The other person focuses on more longterm campaigns, and when I say focuses on campaigns, they manage the budgets end, and applicant flow and conversions, monitoring and reporting back to the teams that are providing the budget for those campaigns. Kerry Noone: I also have someone who focuses on just the Aetna side of the business, as well as one person who combined par

You got a last show of the year for RecTech Live, and I got my pal Abby Cheesman here from Skill Scout in Chicago. Say hello Abby. Abby Cheesman: Hey guys. Chris Russell: All right, we're going to talk about using video to attract talent today, and she's got some great slides to show us. I've seen this presentation earlier this year and thought it was great. So I wanted to have her on and talk about video. We haven't really done that yet much on the show overall. So you are the co-founder or CFO of Skill Scout, a company based in Chicago, which does employer videos. Give us a quick history of the company and a little bit more about what you guys do. Abby Cheesman: Yeah. So maybe about six years ago, Elena, my co-founder and I, we were working at a consulting firm. And we got put on a project of how do we more meaningfully connect people to employment. So we talked to a bunch of job seekers, bunch of companies, and we heard something over and over. It's really hard to know what a job is all about until you've done it before. Abby Cheesman: So long story short, we started filming behind the scenes. What is it like to be a welder? What is it like to be a nurse? And from there, we really just got started with Skill Scout. Abby Cheesman: So we take a research approach to filming. So typically if you're going to film something, you come as a script. And this is what we're going to talk about. With Skill Scout, we treat it like discoveries. So I want to learn as I'm filming with you. I want to hear from the people in the position to know what it's all about filming. So we come in, we have a discussion guide. Film days are usually super fun. So we go in, we learn about a workplace from the people that are in the jobs. So we know what we might capture, but typically we open it up for discovery. Chris Russell: Let's get to the slides and tell everyone about what we're going to learn about today. Abby C
