On this week’s roundtable Mark Hornung will be talking about the importance of reducing your apply process and how this directly impacts recruiting quality candidates. Mark’s worked with some of the world’s largest brands, Coca-Cola, Raytheon, Apple, Bank of America and Lockheed Martin, on their recruitment campaigns and/or employer branding.
He’ll walk us through client case studies where they reduced the time to apply to less than five minutes and increased quality candidates.
Mark will share how we should be rethinking our approach from listing all of the job requirements up front to a job posting that is a conversation starter. He’ll also spend time talking about how to navigate larger organizations to meet the employer and hiring manager requirements while providing a streamlined experience to the job seeker.
We will discuss:
What is the ideal length for a job posting? Is there one, or do lengths vary, depending on the job?
What about the hiring manager who wants to screen out applicants by listing too many requirements?
How does an employer ensure that all candidates see the full scope of responsibilities so that they’re completely informed before they apply?
What about video job descriptions?
As always- no sales pitches. No boring presentations. Just good conversation.
