You are going to be hearing a lot about recruitment marketing in 2016. A LOT. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Candidates are like consumers. In fact, they are technically a recruiter’s consumers. We’re hoping they buy what we have to sell: jobs. But just like regular consumers, candidates have choices. As consumers themselves, they’re used to being able to research anything and everything they want about a product before they buy it, and they expect to be able to do the same with your

Have you ever wondered how much it costs to recruit a new programmer? The numbers may surprise you. The most common cost of recruiting a developer which comes to mind is a recruitment agency fee, but it’s just a starter. In the IT world, where there is a talent shortage, hiring a new programmer (or any tech talent) increases in cost and effort as time goes on.

The election may be over, but that doesn’t mean we have heard the last of the debates that raged along the campaign trail. Among them, one of the most pressing will surely be this: What is to be done about all the people without college degrees who have been left behind in the economic recovery?

Organizational Culture: “The values and behaviors that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organization.” — Business Dictionary. An anthropology cliché tells us that culture is to humans what water is to fish. You probably don’t think about it, but your family has a culture. So does your neighborhood and your country.

Think allowing employees to use social media at work is a recipe for disaster? Before turning your small business into a Facebook-free zone, consider these possible benefits the company might reap by allowing workers to stay connected: Increased productivity: People need short breaks during the workday to maintain energy and focus.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

You only have up to 1 hour to get to know your candidate during the interview. Not much. You probably want to hire programmers who are flexible, adapt quickly in fast-changing environment and, above all, perform well under tight deadlines. Therefore, assessing soft skills, next to verifying programming skills, prove to be crucial as they can to a great extent influence delivering results.

When was the last time you took a vacation? If you are like me, it’s been a while. Many American don’t know how to take a vacation. When you work at a global company you notice colleagues based in Paris or Berlin take at least two week vacation. Sometimes they take a month off. And when they say they’re on vacation, they are on vacation. They’re not checking emails.

In the next year, among employed adults, 62 percent have very little interest in looking for a new job. Surprisingly, that percentage is higher among unemployed adults. This means the search for qualified candidates takes concerted effort, and a well-written job description helps. Longer job descriptions get, on average, 30% more applications. Optimize it for even more exposure: Choose keywords that relate to your company, brand, and products and services, and use location-specific terms.

In the past few years, we’ve heard a lot of people say, “recruiting is marketing.” We’ve even said it ourselves. While the main difference between recruiting and marketing is who the target is—buyers versus candidates—the list of similarities between the two disciplines is massive. That said, it’s no surprise we’ve seen lots of professionals in recent years move from marketing to recruiting roles, or to a hybrid role like “employer branding manager.

Even better, the employment-population ratio for adults 25-54 jumped back up in September to 78.0%, tied for a post-recession high and up from 77.3% a year ago.
