The science of recruiting.
Congratulations, you did it! After what seemingly felt like an eternity, you find yourself walking across that glorious stage on graduation day, and in that very moment, you are on top of the world. No more waking up at the crack of dawn to get to class, final exams are done and over with, and you no longer have to worry about being taken out by a hoverboard while trying to get from point A to point B on campus.
As a recent college grad, I cannot even fathom the idea of looking for jobs in the classifieds. With the invention of the internet and the job search engine, finding opportunities through these services are more streamlined and catered to each usersâ individual needs. Sites, such as OrlandoJobs.com, provide an extensive database of job listings that can be accessed quickly and at any time.
According to Bersin & Associates, U.S. companies are spending and average of $3,500 per employee to just recruit them. While finding great talent is difficult, after over twenty years in the recruiting business, I think one of the main reasons this cost is so high is because employers are taking forever to make an offer to a candidate.
For most Central Florida companies who need to hire, they usually have a âgo toâ procedure that takes the job requisition and posts it to their company website as well as employment sites like OrlandoJobs.com. Copy and paste is still the preferred way to post these jobs that have job titles and descriptions most likely created years ago.
You may have heard the saying that the âweb is your resume, and social media is your referencesâ. It is a very true and powerful statement. According to SHRM, 56% of organizations are currently using social media to recruit future employees. Is it fair? Is it legal? All those questions will be answered but as a job seeker, is this something you even care about?
