career sites, recruiting strategy & the candidate experience
DESCRIPTION
A significant component of a company’s recruitment strategy is a corporate website. This website showcases your company, your culture and your recruitment brand. Great Candidates who are carefully managing their careers are visiting your website and making assumptions about your organization based on what they find. Unfortunately, many websites are not designed with the Candidate experience in mind and fail to engage the right talent.This presentation illustrates how leading edge organizations are developing sites that are intuitive, experiential and most importantly help filter the right Candidates in and the wrong Candidates out.TRANSCRIPT

“These websites are bad, most to the point of embarrassment. When will companies realize that whatever employment branding or advertising you do is instantly lost when 70% of your candidates judge the credibility of what you said based on what they find on your website? Without exception, candidates find dated material, dinosaur technology, and copy that’s about as exciting as reading an accounting textbook.”
- Dr. John Sullivan
