Online recruitment != CV Database

By Santosh

Oh the title is little geeky. :) Online recruitment is NOT CV Database

We at Talentty are speaking to lot of employers, hearing what they have to say, showing what we have to offer and basically sharing thoughts. This is primarily to understand what works for them and what doesn’t. Also creating an environment of co-learning.

I was surprised that many employers still consider job board as CV database :) I requested 5 minutes of their time to project how online recruitment has evolved with arrival of web2.0, social media, etc

Here are my thoughts as I shared with few employers.

Online recruitment is NOT

-NO longer only job listing

-NO longer about bunch of CV (randomly forwarded to employers by jobboard/site)

-NO longer about post a job and job seeker/career seeker will come

Online recruitment is

-Engaging your prospective employee/associates

-Projecting your image, brand, HR values, Organizational excellence

-Creating target audience

-Using new media to reach to prospective employee/associates (Blog, Twitter, Wiki, niche blog authors)

I have few more thoughts to share in next article.

Any comments, thoughts?
