If you do not already use a software tracking system for your recruitment system, it is time <strong>to</strong> upgrade.<br />

Spreadsheets and simplistic data management is no longer enough <strong>to</strong> manage potential employees. Like<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers, recruits need full profiles that include all information available about them and their relationship<br />

with the company. These profiles need <strong>to</strong> be closely tied <strong>to</strong> the recruit’s position without the recruitment<br />

project so that all HR workers can see at a glance what stage the recruit has reached and what decisions<br />

currently need <strong>to</strong> be made regard their status. With so many hosted options available for tracking <strong>to</strong>day, there<br />

is no reason not <strong>to</strong> use such a handy system.<br />

Social media can help your recruiting efforts, but only if you are willing <strong>to</strong> properly invest enough time and<br />

resources in social networks. Closely managed your Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. Participate in<br />

discussions, seek out potential talent, and regularly post about important industry trends or business news.<br />

The more you become involved, the more easily you will find and connect with recruits. Again, there are<br />

plenty of software solutions and vendor platforms available <strong>to</strong> manage social media if you do not currently<br />

have enough time <strong>to</strong> invest.<br />

Job descriptions are more of a science than an art in this digital age. You need <strong>to</strong> create a job announcement<br />

and job description that utilize several important keywords <strong>to</strong> describe the position and allow potential<br />

recruits <strong>to</strong> easily find it through their own searches. It is a good idea <strong>to</strong> create several keyword combinations


efore making your job description, then make the description based around these words – and any legal<br />

requirements your company may have regarding job postings. It is a good idea <strong>to</strong> keep a database of landing<br />

pages for entry-level positions so you can access and repost them whenever necessary.
