Rectech: The Recruiting Technology Podcast

On a warm sultry day in central New Jersey I drove down I-95 to New Brunswick just past the campus of Rutgers University and near the headquarters of iconic corporate brand, Johnson & Johnson, to attend a Candidate Experience Workshop run by Kevin Grossman and his team from the Talent Board. The Talent Board is non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience.

Creating Compelling Candidate Communications to Double Your Candidate Email Response Rates With Angie Verros, Vaia Talent Have you ever wondered why candidates ignore your emails? Why you send out over 100 emails a day to potential candidates only to get responses like, “Not interested” or “Take me off your list.” And, that’s not including the 95 (or so) percent of recipients who delete without reading at all. With higher demand and advances in technology, we’ve seemed to leave out the personal touch of recruiting. TOOLS MENTIONED - TruePeopleSearch.com We'll talk about that and more on the latest episode of the RecTech Podcast with host Chris Russell.

This audio is from a recent panel at TA Tech Europe but I wanted to chat about recruitment marketing for a moment. At RecTech Media we enable companies to outsource much of these efforts from managing your job advertising to creating content for your career site and managing your social recruiting channels so you can get back to the business of ...recruiting.

I saw a recruiting manager job the other day where the person was supposed to do full cycle recruiting and run the rec marketing function which to me really mutes that aspect of the job. There’s no way they can dedicate enough time and attention to properly market the jobs and manage sites and social. So if your company needs help with your r
