Hi guys and girls,
I've been reading some articles on e-recruitment. As you all know I am (again) looking for a new job. Recently I had a very interesting call with a recruiter from a big international logistics company. They are hiring a recruitment manager. During the interview we had a conversation on e-recruitment and how to attract and hire talented candidates for various functions.
I mentioned to the very enthusiastic lady on the phone that there are some important prerequisites that can help your company to attract the most talented candidates.
We talked about the employer/CEO branding and the importance of being an attractive company where people would like to work and be part of the family.
'What makes a company attractive', 'what makes you stand out of the crowd' are the questions a company needs to ask itself on a daily basis. Is it the product or service, the work environment, the vision and mission strategy? Tell and communicate this to your target audience through the different channels that are available today. Social media such as twitter, Facebook, Linkedln and your own website are perfect channels to send out the message. Let your management interact and communicate, take a stand, be visual, be there.
The lady became even more enthusiastic while talking about online jobsites, being an employer of choice and being cost effective in the recruitment process.
I suggested her that I would write down some elements that matter for developing a good strategy. And here I am, writing about it

The Hiring Process has become nearly indistinguishable from the Marketing Process. Job
seekers have to be approached in much the same way as prospective customers (Peter
Capelli, “Making the Most of On-line Recruiting”, Harvard Business Review, March
2001)
It is vital to integrate recruiting efforts with corporate marketing strategies. E-recruitment policy is closely linked and implemented through the corporate website, website home pages should be designed with potential recruits in mind and that means a closer relationship between the HR department and the Marketing Department. http://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/34719041/Recruitment-Strategies-A-power-of-E-Recruiting-and-Social-Media.pdf
