Talent Attraction strategy is much more than just media acquisition, multi-posting and attracting applicants.
There is a defined art to delivering each component associated with successful talent attraction so that it optimises the outcomes during each stage of the process.
The art and techniques should be influenced by data and research, human behavioural science and tried and tested methods.
It basically consists of 3 primary elements:
Media Range: The breadth and range of media channels that your job actually goes out to.
Media Selection: An evidence-based approach to selecting the right media channels where your prospective applicants are most likely to visit and that give you the best ROI.
Improved Visibility: Increasing visibility within each media channel by manipulating the search engine, so that your job appears higher in the results, thus generating more views.
Increased conversion: Maximising applications by converting more views into actual applicants through better copywriting techniques.
Improved Capture: Avoiding the loss of any applicants in the first stage of the application process.
Improved Engagement: Avoiding early drop off immediately after the application takes place by deploying a reward and nurture strategy.
Getting all of this right for each individual job certainly isn’t easy, but many online recruiters consistently get this very wrong.
Working with our clients to generate significant tangible improvements in this area is certainly one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

From job creation, channel selection, styling and tone, to applicant experience. We ensure that every touchpoint with each prospective candidate is designed to increase the probability of a positive outcome. To find out more request a demonstration of our platform.
