Rec Tech: the Recruiting Technology Podcast

Facebook is changing their news feed again, lets find out what employers can do about that...next on the RecTech podcast. This is a preview of my live event taking place on February 22nd at 1pm EST on: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/what-employers-need-to/register On Thursday Feb 22 at 1pm EST time i will be launching a new live video training show for recruiters and employers called “Recruitment Marketing Live” that will focus on helping recruitment marketers get better at attracting talent online. If there is one thing I have learned about working in this industry first as a job board owner and as a recruiter...its that companies still dont know how to market themselves to candidates. So, I am going to start teaching them how to do it. We’ll cover topics ranging from social media to career sites to job descriptions and even sourcing. Shows will be generally be held weekly on thursdays at 1 (except on weeks that I am travelling-holidays) and feature training classes as well as vendor demos to teach you best practices and help you keep up with the new tools being created. Most of the training classes will be paid events however. But Pricing will be very affordable to anyone who wants to participate. Students will be able to interact with me live, ask questions and get a take home cheatsheet with the main tactics discussed each class. The shows will be broadcast from a platform called Crowdcast but you can just type in rec-marketing-live.com to be forwarded directly to my show page. This week I am kicking off the series with a free event. It will cover WHat employers can do about the new facebook news feed changes. If you are an employer that uses Facebook to attract candidates I think it will be a must attend event. In this episode I want to go over what I’ll be talking about and give you a preview with some interesting takeaways. There will not be any slides for the event insead I will share my screen and show you exactly how certain tactics can help you maximize your content on the platform. So what is Facebook doing? Listen up. One of the first things you can do is to tell your page fans how to prioritize your content. You can actually manually adjust the news feed to show your pages first.

George LaRocque, HCM analyst with HRWins…and Martin Burns from the recruitment advertising firm HireClix...join Chris Russell ...it’s time for our year-end-recap….next on the Rec Tech Podcast Happy new year everyone... it’s time once again for RECTECH….the only podcast that helps employers and recruiters connect with more candidates through technology inspired conversations. I started this show last year to in order to educate recruiters and employers about how to better leverage technology to recruit. This profession is becoming much more technically challenging to many of you out there, there are of new tools and techniques you need to master... so that’s the mission to make you better recruiters overall so thanks for all the downloads in 2017. SPONSORED BY Today's episode of RecTech is sponsored by the team at Lever, providing a modern take on the applicant tracking system. Lever combines ATS and CRM functionality in a single powerful platform to help you source, nurture, and manage your candidates, all in one place. Lever offers a branded job site, custom sourcing tools, great metrics, email and calendar integration along with a host of other benefits that your recruiting team will love to use.

To find out how Lever can help you both accelerate and humanize hiring, visit www.lever.co/rectech Lever: is where ATS meets CRM. SHOW TOPICS Entrance of Google and Facebook into the marketplace...discuss---implications for indeed....Google jobs...what are your clients saying Lots of new HR tech---is there a bubble? ...George how much got invested in 2017? Trends for 2018----on the enterprise side...does'nt HR tech have a login problem? AI in recruiting...what will it look like from a practical standpoint...will we move beyond just chat bots? Because the impact of technology on hiring has been far too many false positive and false negative hiring decisions, and because the cost of a bad hire is high — according to one expert, as high as $240,000 — I have predicted that we’ll soon see online competency marketplaces. Competency marketplaces will help candidates understand the jobs and careers they’re most likely to match, and help employers identify candidates who are on track (or on a trajectory to match in the future) and manage long talent funnels in an automated way. Recruitment marketing is going to become extremely important….tight labor market...Martin what are you seeing with clients about their plans for next year? Companies will be dragged kicking and screaming into greater transparency in 2017, partially by younger generations demanding it, and increasingly because transparent companies show no ill effects from their openness. In addition, our proprietary data from the executive teams at 50 companies shows that executives (not necessarily HR) support a talent philosophy of near total transparency in communicating performance and potential. That same data shows that today most companies are moderately transparent at best. https://www.tlnt.com/5-trends-that-will-change-hr/ Last Question If you were building a piece of HR technology that doesn’t exist what problem would you choose to fix?
