HOW TO DRIVE INTEREST BEFORE YOUR RECRUITING EVENTS (IN 500 WORDS)

How to Hire a Professional Content Writer for Your Business

Two decades ago, businesses did not give a hoot about what went on online. Much to their surprise, they needed an online presence shortly afterward. After a few more years, a mere online presence ceased to do the trick. The time had come for outstanding content, and the popular online “household” phrase ‘content is king’ emerged.

HOW NEW HIRING TOOLS ARE HELPING IT RECRUITERS GET BETTER RESULTS

The era of social media has created a new conundrum for job seekers, employers, and recruiters alike. On the one hand, it’s easier than ever before to apply to a job. On the other hand, the ease of applying has inflated the number of applications almost any job posting receives.

What is Proactive Recruitment?

Proactive recruitment is focussed on sourcing, engaging and attracting candidates ahead of hiring demand. With the ever-increasing time to hire and cost per hire, it makes sense for recruiters to engage their candidates proactively and stay ahead of the hiring demands.
