But the big question is, how many can you relate to?! The candidate attraction process: Diversity hiring: Hedging your bets: The hiring decision: The millionth time you see Comic Sans used on a CV: Tech recruiting: Dealing with tight budgets: The ever-changing job spec: Your life: The deluded hiring manager: Your opinion of your job: When you’re having one of those days: When that candidate drops in… again: The never ending quest for passive candidates: Resumes…so many resumes:

In recent years, employment branding has become the move. I love seeing countless posts around the topic and the lively discussions at conferences around the world. The message is now out there for companies as to why it’s so important to invest in your employer brand. The problem: the how. Now, companies know why it’s important, but most have no clue as to how to get started.

A job interview is a two-way street. While you’re evaluating candidates to find the best fit for your job and culture, those candidates are evaluating you. Job candidates look at everything from how you’re dressed to who’s present at the interview to the work environment to determine if you’re a fit for them. A job interview often serves as a candidate’s first impression of your brand and culture — and you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.

In business, the companies that hire the best employees are the companies that win. Though the concept sounds simplistic, executing on it is an entirely different story. Despite the advent of job boards and increasing usage of social media sites, recruiting “difference makers” is and always has been an arduous, expensive task. It’s basic recruiting economics; the demand for intelligent, driven and passionate job applicants is consistently high while the supply is always low.

The father was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident and his body taken to the local morgue. The son was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital and immediately wheeled into an emergency room. A surgeon was called. Upon arrival, and seeing the patient, the attending surgeon exclaimed, “Oh my God, it’s my son!”.

Cat videos, music prodigies, gold dress vs blue dress…this is the kind of content many of us have increasingly been seeing on social media within the last few years. While this kind of content goes viral (sometimes very unexpectedly) it doesn’t scream “Come work for us!” or “Look at our company culture!” to the top-notch talent many organizations need.

That infamous question – What’s in a name? As we tragically found out, a lot. A name can carry thoughts, feelings and ideas that may or may not accurately reflect the subject. For employers, the name of their company holds a lot of weight when it comes to the attraction of quality talent. A name can either deter or entice job seekers to find out more, apply and ultimately invest in the organization with their time, dedication and talents.

Leading companies’ methods for finding talent follow a typical routine: invest in several college and university programs, sponsor various events and conferences, and expect applicants to come running to your door. This may have worked in the past, but now that Millennials are a large percentage of job seekers, this model needs to change, and in certain industries, it already has.

Who you would rather work with: the person you avoid eye contact with during morning coffee break, or the person you’d like to grab a beer with after work? Most people would probably choose the latter. Think about how much time you spend at work – roughly 40 hours a week, oftentimes even more. So it makes sense to prefer being around people you feel comfortable with.

Prior to extending a job offer to a candidate, you want to verify that the individual you’re considering bringing on board is worth the investment. Spending time and money training this person only to find that they’re a poor fit is a drain on your business’s resources, as well as on your time. Before you make an investment you later regret, consider these questions: Is this person competent?
