Next month (August 2009) online recruiting will have been around for 17 years, but are we any better off today than we were back then?

Resume inundation and candidate management are difficult tasks to manage, even with the most-robust ATS or CRM systems, and the sharpest recruiters.

Manage your TalentSeekr campaigns from one web interface

But, as best-laid plans often go, the more systems and processes companies put in place to handle applicant/candidate flow, often the very goal of those systems gets lost:

“Attracting and engaging top candidates, keeping them aware and informed of opportunities, and then hiring them into the ideal role.”

There is an article on The ERE blog titled The No. 1 Frustration of Your Job Candidates where they mentioned some research from CareerXroads’ Gerry Crispin and Mark Mehler that called out “four factors that influence the candidate choice.”

1. An effective targeting or the ability for a candidate to know that your organization is looking for people like them.
2. A clear engagement statement or why as a candidate I should come to work for your organization.
3. Relevant information that backs up your engagement statement.
4. The sense that I am respected as an individual during the hiring process.

TalentSeekr's Rich Media ads and engagement pages attract and entice candidates to apply for your jobs

TalentSeekr, allows a company to achieve all of these, combined advanced targeting to reach the web’s best and most niche web traffic, with a fresh, rich-media experience that candidates love:

1. Targeting: The TalentSeekr targeting system takes many aspects of the job description, and the ideal candidate profile to search out prime locations to display specific job advertisements.
2. Engagement: Without holographic 3-D* you’d be hard-pressed to find any engagement experience better than the TalentSeekr engagement page.
3. Relevant: Since the people who view the engagement page have been highly targeted in the first place, the information there is relevant and useful to the viewer.
4. Respect: Every candidate who applies through our system received confirmation of their application, and is provided directly to a client’s recruiter along with relevant information to help smooth the recruiter’s screening process. Since candidates have been highly targeted, candidates who apply are very likely to be a match for the job–or at least someone who matches the company’s hiring profile.
