Here are the slides from my presentation for the Human Capital Institute and the first in their Talent Acquisition Learning Track which is sponsored by Trovix.
I am answering some of the questions from attendees here, in the comments. Feel free to chip in.
Don’t miss Jim Durbin and his webcast Talent Scouting and Social Networking: The New Employee Referral Program on Tuesday, February 19th, also for HCI. Register here…
Ami,
i can’t believe i missed your webinar. It looks incredible. Thanks for the note. I’ll build on what you were saying.
Jim, I won’t miss yours
What are some of the metasearch websites that were mentioned?
Val, here are two useful resources:
1. Here is a link to a page on BROWN BAG RECRUITER which lists a few of the sites that were mentioned in the presentation.
2. searchnewz publish a comprehemnsive list in their Meta - Search Directory.
Hope this helps.
Two questions:
1. Thoughts on optimizing your profile/resume on your own website versus LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.???
2. Thoughts on new players in the space (climber, trovix, itzbig, notchup) and their approach to “matching” candidates to jobs and their alternative models (pay to contact, pay to interview, pay per job??????
Kenneth:
Question 1 - I think you should do both, pulkish your own pages and use networks to post your profile.
Question 2 - Hmmmm…in a nutshell I think the new genre of job boards speak to the frustrations of candidates and job seekers who want a better way to relate to eachother during the recruiting process.
Compared to the other models I think the trick is to recognize the value of each and every tool and integrate them in ways that might give you an advantage. I’m not sure its ever a case of one is bettre than the other in concept although clearly some serviers are better than others.
In terms of blogs for an organization, should one set one up on an individual basis or one to represent the compnay and its mission?
Tinu - there is no simple answer to your question! I guess the first place to start is by being clear about what your objectives and what it takes to start and maintain a successful blog.
Here is a Google search that might help - let me know.
What is the next mashup up you see coming out to combine everything to make work flow better
John, I’m not sure if there is a mshup coming down that pike that could do as good a job as some of the collaborative tools out there (Basecamp for example) or that a mashup would have any relevence if the web continues to develop along the lines imagined in the semantic web.
What do you think?
Hi Amitai,
Super impressive slide deck! Any chance I could get an electronic copy for private use? I noticed the slides are not available for download on Slideshare. Thanks for the consideration.
Best,
Justin
