Get ahead and attract the leading talent

Talent for your organisation is your most valuable asset. So how do you go about attracting the best talent to help grow your business or organisation? This is a question that is debated on a regular basis as to what the most effective methods are.

This article aims to introduce some new concepts to employers who are not using online recruitment, right through to those that are utilising the medium, but could be getting more out of this hugely powerful and yet under utilised tool.

For the “newbies”, what is online recruitment? In a nutshell, it is the advertising and processing of job vacancies in the online environment (the Web). Traditionally, businesses have been placing ads in the local paper. This approach, although delivering high volumes of applicants, is not neccessarily delivering the right candidates for your vacancies. It is costly, lacks all the required information and the reach is only localised. Further more, your fax machine or inbox is flooded and you need to respond to all applicants in a timely fashion (failure to do this portrays a poor image of your company). This is hugely inefficient and wastes your valuable time.

So what alternatives are there? The Internet! The internet/web/online space is changing the way our world operates in terms of business and social interaction. The benefits are numerous, the main one being the breaking down of barriers which provides a wider reach, in a more efficient manner all at a lower cost. The positives for you are less spend, better prospects and time saved in your recruitment process. By posting a job online (a job portal like www.thirst4work.com can help you with this) your vacancy is now posted and is accessible to prospective employees nationwide or even globally…all for a fraction of the cost of traditional mediums.

For the more experienced online advertisers. How do you take your recruitment strategy to the next level? Currently, many job portals on the market merely replicate what the newspapers did…that is, create an ad, and post it online. Boring? Yes, we agree.

So what can be done?

The internet develops and advances on a daily basis, people interact with the web and socially on a whole new level, Twitter, Facebook, Blogs etc. Are you using these avenues to engage and attract the leading talent, which may not be looking at a job portal? We assume you are not…and frankly why should you! Thirst4work.com is leading the way in exploiting these mediums on your behalf so you don’t have to. By advertising your vacancies on our career and job portal, our leading systems and services exploit Social media on your behalf, maximising your reach of your job ad and engaging talent and quality candidates that may not actively be looking.

If you are not using this service, we think you should re-evaluate your strategy and speak with us to guide you along the way.
