Thought Leadership
Recruitment Marketing: Not Just for Fortune 500s

By Ben Yoskovitz

First and foremost, companies need to understand that HR is an exercise in sales and marketing. At least the component of HR related to recruiting. It’s very difficult to recruit top talent without tackling the problem from a sales and marketing perspective. Luckily, we can look towards sales and marketing experts for help, and we can understand how great companies market and sell their products and services and how that translates to recruitment.

The second key point is that recruitment marketing is more than just advertising on job boards. Advertising is only one component of marketing. There are many others.

Finally, we can look at numerous examples of big companies that do focus on recruitment marketing – experimenting with different initiatives, technology and strategies. Deloitte created a very popular Facebook page. Sodexho has a well-known corporate HR blog (http://sodexocareers.blogspot.com/). Intel has a vast library of employee videos and a content-rich career site (http://www.intel.com/jobs/index.htm).

Big companies are investing in their recruitment marketing initiatives.

So what about smaller organizations?

Thought Leadership
Top Ten Trends in the Screening Industry

By Lester Rosen

ESR (Employment Screening Resources) has identified the following trends for 2009 in its second annual report on trends in the screening industry and safe hiring. The 2009 trends reflect increasing concerns over the use of Facebook and similar sites, lawsuits looming over inaccurate Background Screening reports, increasing government scrutiny of the screening industry and privacy and security issues.

In the current legal environment, businesses want to make sure they are not only exercising due diligence but are also ahead of the curve on legal issues. The quickest way to get sued is to not understand the legal environment and latest trends surrounding background checks and employment.

The federal and state governments will require more background screening in 2009, especially in sensitive jobs, and more businesses will make Pre-Employment Background Screening a requirement for the job. The increased use of Applicant Tracking Systems will lead to "one button" clicks for background checks.
