Recruiting Beyond the Resume

It’s time to move past these boring hiring techniques and present your full self as an organization. You need to not just personalize the words, you need to personalize the medium. And that goes both ways - how you communicate and how you ask your candidates to respond.

This roundtable features Vanessa Raath - The Talent Hunter. We’re going to talk about how to get creative with candidates in both your outreach and your expectations of their response to you - with a big focus on the use of video. A lot of us have gotten used to video communication over the last two years so we should definitely be using it more.

Text Recruiting is on the Rise

In case you haven’t noticed text recruiting is on the rise. A new report published by Aptitude Research on behalf of Emissary.ai the text recruiting platform reveals that 40% of employers plan to increase their investment in this fast growing recruiting channel.

In the below video I asked its author Madeline Laurano to give us a deeper dive on this growing trend.

Text-based recruitment humanizes and personalizes the candidate experience while lifting the administrative burden placed on recruiting teams. Unlike other areas of talent acquisition, text-based recruitment provides an immediate ROI – impacting every aspect of the candidate journey. It offers a significant, measurable impact in a short period of time.
