Effective Hiring
In a 2004 report, Gartner said: "Many companies have automated requisitioning, applicant tracking and even candidate acquisition. They are looking for the next level of benefits. These companies are looking at hiring effectiveness instead of just hiring efficiency. Hiring effectiveness is all about finding the best fit candidate for a job relative to the cost of that source." For effective hiring to be possible it must encompass well-understood and executed practices, strategies and technologies. Hiring combines elements of selection, including screening/assessment, interviewing and background/reference checking. It requires elements of investigation, selection science and intuition. Effective hiring also means transitioning a new hire from candidate to team member and ensuring an efficient hand-off from the recruiting and HR teams to the line manager.

It can be difficult to be an online job seeker these days. A company successfully caught your interest via some advertising or successful word of mouth, and all of the sudden you find yourself trudging through a generic corporate career site that is filled with buzzwords - none of which address your specific needs. Next comes the hours of trolling through job postings packed with hard-to-decipher jargon, abbreviations and vague summaries and requirements. You apply through the company's ATS - if you have up to 45 minutes to spare, that is, and submit your resume - only to receive a canned "don't call us, we'll call you" email in return.

Your interest has faded in the face of a tedious and cumbersome process, and your excitement is all but lost. On the other side of the computer screen, hiring managers are wondering why they aren' seeing more quality resumes... and the cycle continues.

Savvy organizations are setting themselves apart by assessing the quality of their online candidate experience, executing plans which eliminate common candidate pain points and developing experiences tailored to smaller groups of interested prospects. In this webcast we'll hear best and next practices on optimizing the online candidate experience.
