In part 1 of Selecting the Right Niche Site to Post Your Jobs, Sharon focused primarily on getting your jobs cross posted and aggregator sites.  Part 2 will focus more specifically about job sites marketing to candidates.

So, we’ve all heard the example of hiring “A” players, passive candidates, or even Michael Jordan.  Would we expect these individuals to come to any specific job site, find your specific opening, and apply? Not to mention, wait weeks for our process.  While arguments can be made either way about the differences between active and passive candidates, the fact of the matter is a variety of Credit Union job sites exist, and have very different models.

The primary advantage of partnering with CUhire for posting Credit Union Jobs is what happens the second you hit the submit button.  No, you don’t have to wait 24 or 48 hours for your posting to be approved, or live on the site.  It’s immediate, and the cross posting to Monster, Jobster, LinkedIn, and other sites begins shortly thereafter.  And, payment is secure, on-line, and instant.  We like  to refer to it as another On Demand service!

Once a job is submitted, our Talent Scouts begin proactively searching – and marketing to candidates from a variety of databases, associations, professional networking sites, user homepages, and blogs to drive targeted talent to your posting – both active and passive.  What’s the catch? There is no catch.  As Sharon mentioned, it’s $185 for a 60 day posting and it includes it all.  Post your Credit Union Job now, or contact us for more information.

In the end, it’s the results that matter.  Our tagline isn’t Credit Union Talent – On Demand for nothing! Post a job now, or contact us for more information.

Are you looking to hire interns or graduates from college campuses? This week’s water cooler talk and links starts with a post on how to "Make the Connection:  Branding on College Campuses".

Up next is a great article on ERE titled "To Catch a Thief".  It provides several easy to use sourcing ideas. 

Last up this week is a post on Recruiting Fees.  If you like the approach, research CUhire’s Total Recruiting Solutions for Credit Unions, and our approach to Executive Search which is all backed by a 2 year guarantee. 

I ran across a FREE webinar today on The Recruiting Revolution – Web 2.0.  This is a great opportunity to hear more on emerging trends, social media, and networking.

Enjoy, and have a great weekend!
 

It’s that time again! I came across a great article yesterday on establishing the applicant experience upfront (and how simple statistics can end applicant frustration, mistrust, disappointment, and anger).  A great read for any hiring manager, HR professional, or recruiter.

Recruiting passive candidates takes skill.  Get inside their mind in an article titled "You Had Me at Hello:  How to Get Passive Candidates Interested".

And last but not least a post that contains priceless tips for sourcing from social networking sites.

Cheers!

The CUhire blog post every Wednesday is about delivering recruiting news and hot topics from other sites, newsletters and blogs.  Some great information caught my attention recently!

First, for Recruiting, Research and Sourcing professionals (if you’re not you can still learn something too) I came across a post this morning that has some valuable search techniques – from a site called GoogleGuide.

And, with all of the talk about social media and networking be sure to check out "Social Recruiting:  Corporate Adoption of Social Media for Recruiting and Retention".

If you consider competitive intelligence important in researching organizations and passive candidates, LinkedIn released some new features on their site that have a tremendous amount of value for a variety of users.  Check out the video for an overview.  Of course, if you haven’t had the chance to join the CUhire Credit Union professionals group on LinkedIn, check it out and join.

Take networking to a new level - join the free and premier Credit Union networking group on LinkedIn!  Speaking of LinkedIn, I just came across an interesting topic that is posted on their Q&A module, on automated interviewing.

The question was around the effectiveness of automated interviewing, and the post stated the following:

There is sufficient curiosity surrounding the concept of automated job interviewing. After speaking with the recruiters that have used it, there was no doubt that it saves time, is more convenient for both applicants (especially passive job seekers) & recruiters, and is gaining steam in lower-level jobs recruitment.  Will automated interviewing be to the recruitment industry what ATM’s became to the banking industry? Initially, ATM’s were thought too impersonal but obviously proved that people were more than willing to bank thru a machine rather than stand on long teller lines.

Interesting concept, yet most research shows the highest effectiveness with the initial screening for high volume and entry level jobs.  In the end, most organizations still post and advertise jobs to active candidates.  Whether a company considers an automated interview process the key still lies within sourcing the right talent to begin with – and not pre-screening and sifting through unqualified stacks of Resume’s.  You can’t forget about the candidate experience, and human element…

On the flip side of automated interviewing is our Talent Sourcing – On Demand Service which IS automated for you, and is a great alternative to posting and advertising positions and hoping someone qualified applies!  The focus of this service is for us to seek out qualified candidates, at a fraction of the cost of typical job board postings and resume database passwords for you.
