College
Recruiting: Getting Ready for the Rebound
By:
Christine Hirsch
|
|
As
the US economy continues to recover, recruiters
need to prepare for a surge in demand for qualified
college candidates. Over the past few years, attracting
college graduates has been relatively easy; jobs
have well outnumbered candidates. However, as the
economy recovers, the situation could get more competitive
-- fast. How will your company maintain its position
as an employer of choice in a competitive job market?
If you haven't already started, now is the time
to evaluate your current position in the college
market and start planning for a more competitive
hiring environment.
When
the US economy entered recession, college recruiting
programs slowed, adjusting to reduced demand for
talent. Programs were cut and budgets got lean.
Companies focused resources on key schools, keeping
relationships going -- even when there wasn't a
lot of hiring activity. Student preferences also
shifted. The collapse of the dot coms and decline
in corporate IT investment increased student interest
in traditional corporate jobs. Companies that had
had problems attracting talent in the technology
boom experienced strong demand. After years of struggling
to fill jobs, corporate recruiters suddenly had
their pick of candidates.

Getting
Focused Results from Job Boards
By:
RW Special Reports
|
|
When choosing
a job board, recruiters have two main options. Recruiters
can elect to use a niche industry site or a multi-industry
"generalist" job board. The job board you select can influence
the quality of candidates you attract, as well as the
quantity. In today's weak labor market, finding quality
candidates via job boards is not a problem. However, obtaining
the right number of responses is. Today's recruiters struggle
to effectively manage the large response volumes job postings
often generate. In this article, we discuss the costs
associated with high applicant volumes and explore strategies
recruiters can use to reduce response volumes without
sacrificing quality.
