Recruitment marketing is the process of using marketing techniques to promote the benefits of working for your company. It’s both a strategy employers can use to reach candidates and a means by which job seekers discover employers.

Recruitment Marketing Background

There was a time when job seekers would eagerly await the arrival of the local Sunday newspaper so they could study the open positions in the classified ads and promptly submit their cover letters and resumes. Those days, however, are long gone.

Technology has transformed the way employees make career moves, and today they act more like shoppers purchasing a product. They research potential employers with the same depth that they do while looking for a home, an automobile, and any other significant purchase. Whether they use a smartphone, a tablet, a laptop, or a desktop, prospects are on a mission to find companies they deem an ideal fit. They have a plethora of resources available to learn everything they can about your company before they apply.

Candidates have access to tools like Indeed.com and Glassdoor, which offer insight into a company’s typical compensation and benefits, interview process, and culture. Social media forums like LinkedIn, Twitter, and even Facebook are outlets job seekers peruse when determining whether or not to pursue a position.

This means recruiters and employers have to think like marketers, leveraging a variety of strategies and channels to “sell” not just their open positions, but their employer brand. The way to do this is through recruitment marketing that defines who you are as an organization and why a candidate should want to work for you.

Recruitment marketing is a strategy employers use to publicize job openings, build brand awareness, and persuade candidates to apply for positions.

A company’s recruiting and marketing departments once worked separately from one another. Now, because the battle to attract and retain talent is more challenging than ever, professional recruiters and internal human resources departments alike are implementing recruitment marketing strategies.

Just as it is a seller’s market in the real estate industry because the inventory of homes for sale is less than the volume of prospective buyers, the job market favors prospective talent since there are millions of positions employers are looking to fill. Considering this, it makes sense that employers have to work harder to reach quality prospects.

Recruitment marketing provides a blueprint for employers to build and showcase their employer brand and enhance brand awareness. Just as it is important for businesses to elevate brand awareness for consumers, it is equally vital to promote the brand to prospective team members. This is why recruitment marketing strategies are created to reach and interest individuals who are actively searching for opportunities, as well as experienced talent who is currently employed.

HOW TO OPTIMISE YOUR AD CAMPAIGN TO GET CLIENTS FASTER!

1. START BY DETERMINING YOUR GOALS

Are you interested in more sales qualified leads, and converting them in the back end? Will you sell in the front end with an offer, and collect leads in the aftercare phase?

These are important questions that you should be able to answer if you set your goals.

Depending on the results you would like to achieve, the methods and platforms you could be using are different from one other.

For example, Facebook is very useful for lead generation with a minimal budget, but Google Ads might be a better option and could be more expensive if you are opting in for sales. Set your goals clearly and choose a platform accordingly.

2. BUDGET

Money makes money. Advertising is a long-term game that has a ripple effect and has to be executed perfectly, to aid your business effectively. With good optimisation, your ads could bring in better results, and save you money as well. It’s very important to know that the more you spend, doesn’t always mean that you will get better results. However, ad spend should be expected and accounted for if you want to succeed. Because at the end of the day, you want to make a significant return on your investment right? On a personal note, I am very proud to say that I managed to help numerous clients to optimize their budgets and bring in results without breaking the bank. So I know, mistakes can be very costly.

3. AD COPY, AND TARGETING

Your copy and targeting can make or break your campaign. I had clients who came to me for help with their ads, and most of the time the issues I noticed was related to ad copy and targeting. Writing good, engaging copy is a very challenging task to do. Most businesses hire copywriters, like me to do this for them, and this is what I would suggest to you too. Always rely on experts if you have doubts about your abilities.
Let’s say you have an amazing copy that resonates with your audience but now you need to specify who your perfect prospect is.

3 optimal ways to advertise job openings on LinkedIn

Social media isn't just for socialising. It can be a powerful tool for recruitment as well – as it's a place where people live (and work). We at Slindon Media share how you can utilise the power of social media to fill those much-needed roles quickly and efficiently.

LinkedIn job posting
LinkedIn is your go-to place to connect with potential job candidates, both passive and active. You can advertise your open roles or share them with your network/groups.

We recommend posting LinkedIn’s paid job postings to promote your open roles, target your desired audience and reach out to potential candidates. You can also give candidates the option to apply directly using information from their LinkedIn profiles to speed up the application process.

Posting a status update on your company’s LinkedIn page is also a good way to promote a job opening. Make sure to include a short link to the job listing or your company’s career page. Your company’s followers and their network will view your job opening and may visit your careers page to learn more about it (and potentially apply) or even leave a comment to refer someone.

Slindon's Pro Tip: Ask your colleagues and HR managers to share a status update with the open role or repost the company’s status update to help reach a broader audience.

LinkedIn InMail - USE IT
When you come across strong candidate profiles or people with hard-to-find skills on LinkedIn, reach out and introduce yourself. This way, you can start building a relationship with high-potential candidates and contact them again in the future when the right role comes up. You can mention your name and provide some context on the company you work for and the open roles you’re looking to fill. (Or the industries you recruit for if you’re an agency recruiter).

Slindon's Pro Tip: Include a call to action in your text — for example, ask the candidate if they would agree to have a call to discuss one of your current open roles and get to know each other.

General ‘We’re hiring’ for every LinkedIn media post
LinkedIn is one of the best places if you want to share your job posting online. However, there are so many other platforms including more niche social media for specific industries.

That’s why we’ve created several strategies which can overlook these challenges and allow you to fulfil roles quicker with ease and low cost.

If you wish to find out how you can fulfil jobs faster through the power of Slindon Media's marketing help, please contact us at [email protected] or +44 74950 57887

Marketing Your Recruitment Agency: What's the point?

There’s no doubt that recruitment agencies are increasingly aware of the importance of recruitment marketing: a quick browse of social media platforms highlights that the overwhelming majority are using them in a bid to engage with prospective candidates.

Jobs and Blogs – A Missed Opportunity

The recruitment market is overcrowded: It can be a huge challenge to stand out from the crowd and attract candidates and clients... And, of course, this is the key aim of any marketing strategy. A detailed assessment of your target candidate is heavily recommended if you're looking to drive traffic to your job listings, taking the time to study your target audience will pay dividends in the long run

Make Potential Candidates Aware Of – and Engaged In – Your Company

It makes sense that the more times you get in front of people so that they remember you, the more likely it is that they will use your services. Certainly, consistent blogging, sponsoring events and other promotional activities may make a chunk of your accessible market aware of who you are.

Effective marketing means ensuring that candidates who are open to opportunities are the ones your brand is getting in front of. Successful strategies will highlight your agency’s niche to the right people, not just the fact that it exists for the entire population.

Position Yourself as the inevitable agency

You’ll stay front of mind so that when candidates need help finding their next job or businesses want their next vacancy filled, they’ll choose you. When agencies use the same platforms and deliver similar content, there’s very little to differentiate them. Instead, there needs to be a strategy which aims to boost brand perception and allows people to discover what you have to offer.
If you position yourself as a thought leader demonstrate that you can add real value. In addition, content marketing which is useful for clients and candidates, such as the sharing of advice or the creation of articles, helps build relationships and highlights your company’s culture of knowledge sharing.

Target Passive and Elusive Talent Pools
Figures released by LinkedIn suggest that a hefty 70% of the global workforce is made up of passive candidates who aren’t actively job-seeking, it’s a challenge for recruiters to find ways to source and attract those individuals. This is where it pays to reach out to them in creative ways which engage their interest. Here, an inbound marketing strategy which is specifically aimed at attracting the candidates that are the best fit for your clients is crucial.

So, there’s no question that an effective marketing strategy makes a difference – agencies which use the right marketing plan can attract individuals and businesses that were previously off the radar, convert these into leads and then develop them into new clients or candidates placements.

Top 4 Marketing Tips For Your Recruitment Company To Consider/Implement:

The candidate journey for a jobseeker in 2022 is complex, especially when there are so many channels people can use to research and review companies in depth. Recruitment marketing helps your company stand out and have a strong presence wherever your ideal candidate may be. Here are our top five recruitment marketing tips to help you fulfil vacancies faster and attract high-value talent.

Content marketing and candidate video optimisation -

Have you ever considered how recruitment videos help boost job applications? Content marketing and video help ensure your recruitment company stands out and can get the top talent looking in your direction. Using case-study storytelling for recruitment marketing can take your recruitment efforts to the next level. Video not only puts a human face to your company but also tells your brand’s story in such a way that your audience is far more likely to remember it – up to 30% more likely.

Leverage social media with organic and paid advertising -

Most employer marketing strategies include social media, and so too should marketing your recruitment company. However, not all social media platforms are appropriate for recruitment marketing. That’s why you must know where your target audience is spending their time online. You may find that when you post video job descriptions organically, LinkedIn may be an effective platform. But if you want to reach more Generation Z and millennial candidates, then Instagram Stories may deliver more results, and sponsoring IG stories may be a great way to reach them.

Consistently network and follow up -

Don’t just wait until you have a vacancy to fill. Recruitment marketing is all about networking to build up contacts and source potential candidates even if there isn’t a specific opening at that moment in time. It would help if you also were sourcing candidates through follow-up campaigns. The faster you follow up with them, the more likely you will win their attention and interest in using you to find work.

Welcome feedback and highlight reviews -

When a candidate accepts a job offer as a result of your hard work, this is always a special moment and they should be satisfied with their experience working with you, but it doesn’t tell you the full story. Encourage candidates – even those who didn’t land their dream job – to give their feedback to help you understand where you can improve recruitment marketing. You can also highlight reviews on your website to give potential jobseekers an insight into the recruitment experience and what they can expect.

4 reasons why your recruitment agency needs to be marketing itself online:

Build engagement online -
It's coming to the end of 2022, Job seekers move fast and they have a huge pool of opportunities – if a hiring process is too long, 57% of them lose interest, so imagine how quickly they’ll move on from your recruitment company. Write engaging emails they won’t unsubscribe from and social media accounts they’ll want to keep up with – that will help you build relationships with candidates and help expand your pool.

Help your opportunities stand out -
Let’s face it – it’s the job roles you have on offer that candidates are interested in, so show them off. Find out when your audience is online, which social media platform they use and who they follow, and then schedule a post with an opportunity that will stop them scrolling. When writing job descriptions, make sure you have identified the benefits that will appeal to your target audience, not just the general crowd, the message is key!

With demand for jobs on the rise, now is the time to strike -
According to the UK’s Office for National Statistics, there are more job vacancies now because of the Covid-19 pandemic, while the unemployment rate has fallen slightly. Businesses reduced their recruitment activity over the last year, but we already see that increasing. That means there’s a whole army of jobseekers out there, whether they’ve been made redundant or are looking for a career change.

So what exactly can revamping your marketing strategy do for your recruitment firm?
