2004: What's on the Agenda?
By:

Few
industries are as dynamic as recruiting. The state
of the industry can turn on a dime, making it vital
for recruiters to stay connected. What better place
to learn what's happening in the industry than by
attending a local or national recruitment event?
In this article, we speak to a representative from
the International Quality and Productivity Center
(IQPC) to learn about trends in events programming.
We talk to the IQPC about where the industry is
going and what topics recruiters can expect to see
on conference and seminar agendas this year.
According
to the IQPC, finding quality hires is a top priority
today and will continue to be so in the future.
In order to manage high candidate volumes, recruiters
have added a slew of screening tools to the hiring
process. Our source believes these tools are here
to stay. However, with increased competition for
hires on the horizon, it is important for companies
to assess how screening tools fit into the hiring
processes. Time-to-hire will become critical as
companies are faced with adding staff at a rapid
rate. Recruiters also need to balance the candidate
experience with process demands. Too many interviews
and tests can be a turnoff to weary job seekers.
The lesson here: companies with flexible and adaptive
hiring processes in place before the surge hits
will come out ahead.

Boost
Outreach with Virtual, Interactive Technology
By:
Christine Hirsch

It’s no secret
that the Internet is a powerful tool. The web has given
recruiters a candidate pool without boundaries, drawing
diverse peoples from varying geographic, educational,
and experiential backgrounds. However, as the Internet
grows in popularity, recruiters must continually look
for new and innovative ways to appeal to candidates online.
Gone are the days when all you needed was an ATS and targeted
content on your website. Today, companies with an enhanced,
interactive web presence stand to attract the best and
brightest.
A good place
to examine trends in jobseeker behavior is on college
campuses. Students, after all, are the next generation
of candidates. Today, career centers schedule interviews
online and recruiters post openings on campus job boards.
As
more of the hiring process goes virtual, demand for traditional
outreach will continue to wane. Take the campus open house,
for example. Step into a campus recruiting event today
and the room is about half full. Why? Students rely on
the web to get company info instead of stopping by to
chat with recruiters. As this trend is unlikely to reverse,
recruiters need to find more compelling ways to meet and
interact with these candidates online.
