How do you get the attention of job seekers who demand personalization when hiring at scale?
It’s pretty easy to spot an email template when you’re being contacted for any sort of promotion. Whether it’s for a job, a conference, heck even a discount from your vet – you know a template when you see it and unless it’s something you’ve already been considering you’re more than likely going to trash it. But when it comes to volume hiring it can seem difficult to personalize the message.
Job seekers get inundated with template emails daily. Add in an intro line of, ‘Dear Sir or Madam I am reaching out about a possible opportunity’ and it’s no wonder we’re still talking about terrible candidate experiences and the struggles of filling reqs for hiring managers. Utilizing tech for outreach in a human way and at scale.
There are many options for capturing candidate’s attention through tech these days. From TikTok to YouTube there’s more to attracting top talent than just email [but you can still make that work to your advantage too].
