Talent acquisition has been through the wringer over these past few years. As talent professionals, we’ve had to shift to meet the new demands of our employees, candidates and customers.

We throw jargon around in our workplaces all the time. But when we blanket cover everything in industry-specific language, we lose value. Programmatic job advertising is a prime example of this disconnect.

Programmatic ads use sophisticated algorithms to serve job and company ads to people who fit the profile of a possible candidate for your organization. Programmatic ads optimize the ad buying process in real-time, leading to high cost-effici ..read more

The good news is there are other ways to source. Recruitment marketing programs aimed at alumni support your contingent, gig, part-time, and full-time sourcing efforts by allowing you to tap into a large talent network that already knows your organization (and will require less time & money to ramp up).

Valentine's day has us thinking: what’s the perfect match for recruitment marketing? About 5 years ago when recruitment marketing really took off, we saw organizations implement new recruitment marketing roles responsible for translating EVP and brand pillars into candidate-facing campaigns. These recruitment marketing and brand associates were responsible for communicating after people began to interact and engage with the brand. But today these roles are more strategically placed in the marketing department and you may be wondering why? Well, marketing is the most natural match for RM. As RM ..read more
