Rec Tech: the Recruiting Technology Podcast

As companies look to improve communication, Text Recruiting is becoming a strategic priority. Forty percent (40%) of companies have increased their use of text in talent acquisition this year, according to new research conducted by Aptitude Research in conjunction with Emissary.ai the text recruiting platform… Entitled “The Rise of Text Recruiting & The Business Impact“, the report states that although text is widely adopted in other areas of business, talent acquisition has been slow to respond. Email is still their preferred method of communication, and 58% of candidates receive no response at all when they are screened out of the process.

Jacyke isn’t just passionate about this topic, she’s living it by implementing strategies that work: Prepping candidates Providing questions early Ensuring accommodations aren’t creating bias But it’s more than that; before, during, and after interviews life is happening to all candidates.

Last week I ran into a situation which reminded me that even the smallest details need to paid attention to when it comes to talent attraction. After sharing a new HR job on the Evil HR Facebook jobs group that a client had just posted, one of the members asked me a question about the role. You see, one of the requirements stated that a certain state license was required. But that one little requirement seemed to throw off interested applicants. It was a license that no HR person usually has. Therefore the candidate didn't think she could apply for the job.
