She is a Multi-faceted Employer Branding professional with a versatile background in the areas of Recruitment Marketing, Career Placement, Talent Acquisition, Client Relations and Marketing Support. She’s passionate about creating cohesive and lasting relationships while striving to connect world-class organizations with superior talent. Her past roles including being a freelance writer and part of the recruitment branding team at Oracle. Follow here at https://twitter.com/Lparks2387 The reason I’ve asked Lindsay to come on is so they can talk about their day to day social recruiting activities and how that impacts recruiting. With social becoming increasingly more important for employer branding, sourcing and applicant traffic I think it’s time for larger companies to hire someone specifically to manage the big channels such as Instagram, facebook Twitter and yes even Snapchat. There is so much you can do on these channels that this should really be a full time recruiting position. TOPICS on the SHOW: -What do you do, can you describe your 9 to 5? -Whats a successful day in social recruiting look like? -What mistakes do you see employers/recruiting making when it comes to recruiting on social? -Tell me about your content strategy? Any tips to get more reach/engagement? -How much content….Do you leverage video at all? -Have you posted jobs on Facebook yet? -What tools are part of your toolbox….sprinklr/hootsuite/contentfire -Instagram branding/recruiting Internal Rules…?

Creating Compelling Candidate Communications to Double Your Candidate Email Response Rates With Angie Verros, Vaia Talent Have you ever wondered why candidates ignore your emails? Why you send out over 100 emails a day to potential candidates only to get responses like, “Not interested” or “Take me off your list.” And, that’s not including the 95 (or so) percent of recipients who delete without reading at all. With higher demand and advances in technology, we’ve seemed to leave out the personal touch of recruiting. TOOLS MENTIONED - TruePeopleSearch.com We'll talk about that and more on the latest episode of the RecTech Podcast with host Chris Russell. Learn more about your ad choices.

This audio is from a recent panel at TA Tech Europe but I wanted to chat about recruitment marketing for a moment. At RecTech Media we enable companies to outsource much of these efforts from managing your job advertising to creating content for your career site and managing your social recruiting channels so you can get back to the business of ...recruiting. Right now I see too many employers trying to meld these responsibilities onto recruiting or TA managers who are still expected to source and recruit, but to me the recruitment marketing function is better suited to a dedicated marketer who have a better understanding for how to convert online clicks into applicants. I saw a recruiting manager job the other day where the person was supposed to do full cycle recruiting and run the rec marketing function which to me really mutes that aspect of the job. There’s no way they can dedicate enough time and attention to properly market the jobs and manage sites and social. So if your company needs help with your recruitment marketing consider giving us a call at 203-572-2053 or email chris@rectechmedia.com… So...Enjoy the audio where you’ll hear Chad Sowash, Shane Gray from Clinch, Tycho van Passen from Vonq and Jayne Ronanyne from KonnectAgain bounce around ideas in recruitment marketing...
