How to Reach Job Seekers with 3 Recruiting Strategies

How to Reach Job Seekers with 3 Recruiting Strategies

 Do you want to know what is more challenging than finding job seekers these days? Learning how to reach job seekers. It can be a game of cat-and-mouse to have meaningful conversations with them and keep them engaged long enough to know whether they have the qualifications needed to make a great hire!

More than ever, it is essential to reach candidates as soon as possible and to be prepared when they are ready to convert. On the other hand, some candidates need several impressions before they engage with your content.

We’ll cover three strategies to stay connected to your job candidates with ease. We happen to like using the new  PivotCX Campaigns feature, but the strategies apply to recruiting in general.

 

1. Inform Past Applicants of a New Job Opening or a Re-opening

In the current employment market, candidates are getting more expensive, and job boards are raising their prices. With fresh, new traffic becoming harder to get, getting creative with how to reach job seekers can be a bloodline. 

One often-forgotten source of candidates is your past applicant pool. Some of the benefits of reaching these job seekers are that they are already familiar with your company and you don’t have to pay extra to get their contact information.

It’s likely that you already have a gauge on the people you would like to contact from your past applicant pool. Perhaps, there were two or three excellent candidates, but you could only hire one. The perfect time to get a hold of them is when a new, similar role opens. Additionally, there’s only one way to know whether these applicants are still in the market for a new job or might now be ready to make a move. 

Employers can use PivotCX Campaigns to tap into their forgotten candidate pool of past applicants and get more bang for their buck by remarketing to past candidates.

2. Organize and Tap into your Talent Community

Knowing who is in your talent community or past applicant list helps you understand and discover what works best to attract their attention to your job posts and keep them engaged for as long as possible.

You can run A/B tests by segmenting your candidates, such as dividing half your list and changing messages or altering the delivery cadence. This allows you to gain insights into how you reach out to job applicants; for example, you can find the length and type of message that works best for your candidates.

You can also be more granular in your approach to diverse candidates depending on their location, the position they applied for, how long ago they applied to the job, medium, source, etc.

Whether from an ATC, CRM, or even from a spreadsheet, PivotCX Campaigns allows you to attach a series of messages to any candidate list to make reaching out to applicants easier. 

 

3. Remind Candidates about their Recent Job Application

 Life gets busy, especially when trying to find a new job. Candidates want to optimize their chances to make it past the pile of resumes on any recruiter’s desk by applying to as many jobs as they can.

The downside is that they’ve lost track of which employers they applied to or the job details after a couple of days. Thus, it is essential to be fast and persistent when reaching out to job applicants. 

This is why PivotCX Campaigns aim to nudge job applicants who might have fallen off the application track. With time delays between automated messages that can be customized down to the minute, it’s easy to set the right cadence to reach candidates when they are more likely to respond to your message. 

Keep it human by reaching out to job seekers. Letting them know that you’ve seen their application and are interested can give you a leg up over employers that never bother to reach out to applicants or take three months to even get in touch with them.

 Figuring out how to reach candidates takes time, but these strategies can help you leverage what you already know about job seekers and make it easier to find the perfect fit for your job opening.

The Power of Multi-Touch Drip Campaigns for Candidate Nurturing

The Power of Multi-Touch Drip Campaigns for Candidate Nurturing

      In the fast-paced world of recruiting, where top talent is in high demand and competition for that talent is fierce, recruiters are continually challenged to develop innovative strategies to engage and attract qualified candidates. Recruiting Teams also understand that they can not rely solely on filling their openings with candidate flow from job postings and job boards.

      Therefore, a strong sourcing strategy must incorporate active candidate responses from job ads, mining passive candidates from their Talent Community, or identifying interesting candidates from external sources. Sourcing passive candidates requires a different engagement tactic – specifically, a focus on nurturing those candidates to convert them into applicants. This blog post will explore the power of multi-touch nurturing drip campaigns and address the common barriers preventing widespread adoption. Last, we’ll identify how PivotCX is the perfect solution to execute both an Active and Passive Candidate Sourcing strategy.      

       The Benefits of Multi-Touch Drip Campaigns for Candidate Nurturing

 

1. Personalized Engagement: In today’s digital age, candidates have become acclimated to the methodologies utilized in their day-to-day consumer lives. As a result, they’ve come to expect the same level of personalized communication tailored to their needs and interests.Multi-touch drip campaigns allow recruiters to deliver targeted messages at various stages of the candidate journey, fostering a deeper connection and engagement. By segmenting candidates based on skills, experience, and career goals, recruiters can craft highly relevant content that resonates with each individual, ultimately increasing the likelihood of conversion.

2. Continuous Engagement: Building and maintaining relationships with candidates is crucial to successful recruiting. However, staying top-of-mind with candidates over an extended period can be challenging, especially when managing a large talent pool. Multi-touch drip campaigns automate the process of nurturing candidates by delivering a series of scheduled messages or content pieces over time. This consistent and systematic approach ensures that candidates remain aware of your Employer Brand and specific openings, even if they are not actively applying for roles at the moment.

3. Improved Conversion Rates: The ultimate goal of any recruitment campaign is to convert qualified candidates into applicants who will become your hires. Multi-touch drip campaigns play a pivotal role in guiding candidates through the recruitment funnel and nudging them towards taking action, whether it’s applying for a job, attending an event, or scheduling an interview. By providing relevant information, addressing concerns, and showcasing the company culture, recruiters can effectively nurture candidates and increase the likelihood of conversion, ultimately driving better hiring outcomes.

     Barriers to Adoption and How to Overcome Them

      Despite the clear benefits, many recruiting teams find it challenging to adopt multi-touch drip campaigns for candidate nurturing. Here are several reasons why:

1. Lack of Time: Recruiters often find themselves overwhelmed with various tasks throughout the day, which can hinder their ability to focus on candidate nurturing campaigns. Too many requisitions to support, too many systems they need to use in their process,, and too many candidates to identify, engage, and keep track of the responses are just a few examples of these tasks.

2. Lack of Awareness: Many recruiters are unaware of multi-touch drip campaigns’ capabilities and potential impact. Even if they are aware of the concept, many are unaware of how to build and utilize automation technology to enable them to execute on these types of campaigns.

3. Resource Constraints: Implementing and managing multi-touch drip campaigns requires time, expertise, and resources, which recruiting teams often lack. Additionally, smaller organizations or those with limited budgets may perceive this approach as too costly or complex to implement effectively.

4. Technology Integration Challenges: Integrating multi-touch drip campaign functionality with existing recruitment systems and processes can be challenging, especially for organizations using disparate or outdated technology platforms and engagement tools..

5. Change is hard: Implementing any new technology or strategy goes through an initial awkward period where people are trying to adopt “the new way. Recruiters who are comfortable with traditional methods and/or are skeptical of the effectiveness of automated nurturing will initially find executing both an active and passive approach challenging until they get into their “new groove.”  

      Providing the Path Foward

      Despite these barriers, the benefits of multi-touch drip campaigns for candidate nurturing far outweigh the challenges. The famous proverb, “Dig your well before you’re thirsty,” reminds us of the importance of being proactive by putting plans in place today for the needs you will have tomorrow.

      PivotCX is the premier solution specifically designed to address the challenges and barriers that inhibit recruiters from taking advantage of this powerful technique. Recruiters do not have the time to take on another task or the bandwidth to learn and use and yet another disconnected tool in their process. On the front end of the process, PivotCX provides an intuitive, unified interface to engage with both passive and active candidates, blended with modern, real-time communication channels. On the back end of the process, PivotCX delivers the automation needed to keep recruiters focused on engaging candidates combined with the necessary integration that ties together job boards and talent pools and synchronizes communication and statuses with CRMs and ATSs.

      PivotCX understands that change is hard and that recruiters are already swamped with tasks that make engaging and communicating with candidates and applicants challenging. This is why we set out to simplify the ability of recruiters to be proactive through nurturing their relationships with passive candidates while simultaneously being able to quickly engage and communicate with their active, inbound candidates responding to their job advertisements.

      PivotCX believes that recruiters should not have to view sourcing as an either/or scenario – i.e., either sourcing active candidates from the job boards or passive candidates from talent pools.  For the first time, recruiters can do both – from a single, unified interface.  Click here to learn more about how your Recruiting Team can double its productivity and dramatically reduce its hiring time.

Our most popular webinar to date has recruiters talking!

9 Rules to Beat Zoom Fatigue

9 Rules to Beat Zoom Fatigue

Well, if you haven’t figured it out yet, Zoom isn’t going away. Neither is Google Meet, MS Teams, WebEx and about a million other ways to conference online. Podcasts, webcasts, and livestreams are all really great ways to get your message out. Since we’re all stuck doing a lot more video conference meetings, here are a few great tips to master the media that I’ve learned the hard way.

Let’s start with the elephant in the room. Most people feel like doing video conferences is mentally taxing and tiring.

Well, it turns out that is.

Here’s an article that makes the science of Zoom Fatigue pretty approachable: Dealing with Zoom Fatigue – https://leadership.garden/zoom-fatigue/

The takeaway? Zoom Fatigue is real and there are some steps you can take to make those days where you’re on camera five plus hours a day less mentally taxing.

Here are some ways I’ve found to make video conferencing less fatiguing: 

Setting Up Your Stage

First off you don’t have to invest a lot – just find a quiet enough place with a background that works.

Background

Three Rules:

No windows or bright lights

Light sources in the background will confuse the camera and will cause the camera to darken the subject (you) or cause issues with color.

No grids/plaid, pattern backgrounds

Grids, stripes, plaid and repetitive patterns can cause moire, which are repetitive details that exceed the camera sensor resolution causing a strange-looking wavy pattern.

Be clean

If you are going to have a wall behind you, make sure it is clean because scuffs and smudges will really show on camera.

Clothing

Aside from appropriate and inappropriate, there is one thing to worry about: moire. Stripes, checks, plaids, and dots can all cause a very distracting moire effect on the camera. I keep a solid blue shirt in the closet at work for days when I’m not camera-ready.

Equipment

Cameras and Lighting

Usually, bad cameras are a lighting problem in disguise. Good lighting is the secret to making cameras work well. Especially cheap cameras like the one in your laptop. If your camera looks grainy, crank up the light and you’ll be amazed how much better it works. A good ring or diffused desktop light can make you look 10-15 years younger by removing all the shadows from the wrinkles, battle scars, nicks and other accumulated wear and tear on your face.

Use Your Phone

Believe it or not, the camera in you mobile phone is probably about 10,000x better than the webcam in your computer. Why? Well, the face camera on your phone is probably capable of at least HD-quality recording and has AI video processing to automatically deal with light, white balance, and about 500 other thing that can ruin a video. If you have an iPhone and a Mac, you can use your iPhone as a webcam. If you are on Android, IruinCam and DroidCam let you do the same thing.

Sound

If you follow these three rules, you’ll solve 90% of audio problems before you have them:

Never use the mic in a Bluetooth device.

Don’t use the mic in any Bluetooth device. Here’s the story: Bluetooth has a ton of modes. The one that almost every headset, earbuds, or pods uses when you turn the mic on is “headset mode” where you get low-quality mono sound from the speakers, and the mic is set to a low bit rate, which makes you sound REALLY BAD. Use a different mic than your Bluetooth headset, and your Bluetooth headphones will work.

Get a Good Enough™ microphone.

Don’t panic. A good enough mic is $40-$70 including all the wiring, a boom arm, a shock mount and all the hardware. There’s a reason why in front of every great podcaster is a pretty good mic. I use Tonor’s Q9, Tonor TC40 or a Blue Snowball depending on where I’m working from.

Don’t pound on the table.

If you talk with your hands, chances are you also inadvertently bump into things. When you bump the table where the camera is, it shakes. Even worse, if the mic isn’t shock mounted, that little tap tap tap will sound like a cannon.

Candidate Engagement is a Decaying Asset

Candidate Engagement is a Decaying Asset

At PivotCX we understand the intrinsic value of engagement in the realm of recruiting. It’s not just a buzzword; it’s a lifeline that connects you with your future employees, your organization’s internal customers, and the driving force behind your success. Engagement is more than just a fleeting interaction; it’s the bedrock upon which lasting relationships are built.

Imagine engagement as a precious asset, one that depreciates over time if not nurtured. But fear not, for we are here to help you not only preserve but enhance that value. We believe in engaging faster, engaging longer, and, most importantly, engaging better.

Why is engagement crucial, you ask? Well, your future employees are the heartbeat of your organization, the potential workforce that will shape your future. At PivotCX, we treat them with the utmost respect, considering them not merely as candidates but as valued customers. Our technology is meticulously designed to cater to their needs, ensuring a seamless journey through your recruitment process.

Our platform doesn’t just create lists; it crafts relationships. We guide your prospects through your funnel, nurturing and managing these connections, transforming them into the future talent that will drive your organization forward. But remember, like any valuable asset, these relationships demand consistent maintenance and development.

Maintaining these relationships isn’t just about data hygiene; it’s about investing energy and effort into moving the needle of engagement. We understand that relationships without active engagement are like objects at rest. Just as in physics, it takes significant energy to set these relationships in motion. That investment of energy into relationships is what we excel at, propelling your recruiting and hiring journey forward.

Let’s face the truth: if engagement isn’t initiated, you’re back to square one. Think of it as rebuilding a cherished relationship from scratch. Consider the consequences: customer churn, sluggish sales, and your top talent walking away just when you need them the most. It’s a scenario no organization wants to face.

Your candidates today are the employees of tomorrow. The databases of engagement we help you create are the future human capital of your organization. Just like a historic building, if not properly maintained, they lose their charm and value. At Pivotcx, we ensure that your investment in these relationships is not only preserved but amplified.

So, let’s engage, not just for today, but for a future where your organization thrives, where your best talent is retained, and where every engagement translates into an opportunity for growth. Together, we will shape a future where your recruiting endeavors are not just efficient but deeply human and profoundly impactful. Welcome to the future of recruiting with PivotCX where humanengagement transforms into enduring success!

Quick Thought: Job Seekers are Scarce

Quick Thought: Job Seekers are Scarce

Just a quick thought:

Business = Process + People + Assets

If a business is really the sum of the people executing a process using company assets, then maybe it’s time to think harder about the people part of the equation.

People are now the scarce part of the story. It hasn’t been that way in most of our lifetimes. It will be, at least until 2046 when the US DOL says the labor market will start expanding again.

Recruiting Short Staffed

Recruiting Short Staffed

In today’s job market, there is a significant talent shortage, and many companies are finding it challenging to recruit the right candidates. This issue is further compounded by the fact that most recruiting teams are understaffed, making finding and hiring qualified candidates even more difficult.

To put it into perspective, imagine if your customer service team were taking 3-4 weeks to follow up with customers. You would quickly realize that you need more customer service representatives to handle the increasing workload. You might even consider bringing in an outsourced call center to help manage the influx of customer inquiries.

Similarly, if your sales team was taking two weeks to follow up on a lead, you would likely hire more BDRs and sales reps to help speed up the sales process. In some cases, you might even consider outsourcing your sales efforts to an agency.

Given the urgency of these situations, it’s essential to look at recruiting emergencies in the same way. Companies need to take swift action to address their talent needs and ensure that they have the resources and support necessary to find and attract top candidates in today’s competitive job market.

If you can’t help being short-staffed, then you still don’t have to settle for 1-2 week turnaround times. With a communications hub like PivotCX your recruiters can be engaging with 3x the number of candidates as before. Make sure your recruiters have the right tools, and they’ll be able to meet their goals.
