Media owner consolidation, increased demand, constraint of “free” channels, upwards price pressure- particularly in niches
Newer & revitalised market entrants, particularly at local level, gaining share, often through better targeting than generalists, and/or through excellent SEM/SEO and aggregation.
Substitutes & new models, gaining scale and/or influencer attention
Clients able to “play the field” as more competing candidate options emerge, leading to price pressure. Staffing agencies themselves in a commoditised, competitive field.
Fierce competition for scale between, often commoditised traditional players, many with access to low-cost ad media

Substitutes & new models, gaining scale and/or influencer attention
Clients able to “play the field” as more competing candidate options emerge, leading to price pressure. Staffing agencies themselves in a commoditised, competitive field.
Fierce competition for scale between, often commoditised traditional players, many with access to low-cost ad media
A different type of aggregationBringing together all the jobs and all the people, to find better for each candidate and company we work with
Professional networks and job boards are aggregatingAggregation is replicable not differentiating Size matters but what you do with it matters more
Aggregation one part of a wider strategy
• More inventory, served more ways• Scale and niche• More of the slots on search• Better chance of monetising each search• Tech investment pays back faster• Powerful “Search Marketing Machine”• Hard for “direct” vendors to ignore• Hard to disintermediate• Not “downstream” of Google• Building the “travelgram”• Global end to end data• Contextual opportunities• No longer just a web site on a URL• Technology to transform travel at scale• Attract better tech talent than rivals
Better predictive data to matching travellers and travel providers for everyone’s gain
Predictive AnalyticsWithout Action, Big Data Is a Big Waste
Aggregating jobs data and candidate data at scale can create a lot of information
Providing decision-makers with large volumes of data and information does not automatically result in better talent management decisions
Intelligent, action centred data usage can however give:
• HR and recruiters a greater chance that decision makers will act• Greater foresight as to changing relationships and shifts in in staffing categories• More time to create a strategic approaches to shifts in the industry• Greater ability to think strategically • Better understanding of inter-relationships• Ability to scenario plan• Competitive advantage• Better future success rates on new hires• Less wastage and better targeting of recruitment investments
Predictive Analytics
Better contextual targeting adds utility for candidate, feels less spammy
Combination of predictive data and user controlMore interaction, more refinementAutomation allows operation at scale and accessible costs
Social and behavioural signals e.g:Potential Candidate has just changed jobPotential Candidate has just changed locationPotential candidate has experienced a major life eventPotential Candidate has completed average tenure for a rolePotential candidate has demonstrated interest in a relevant subject area onlineCandidate has looked at job sites recently
“73% of recruiters have made successful hires via Social Media” Staff.com
“27% of major European employers left a position open because they couldn't find anyone with the right skills ... the most acute shortage being in 'soft skills’…and roles with high levels of hard to reach passive talent” McKinsey
Social profiling of candidates
For Background “suitability” checks
• ¾ recruiters do it
• Inevitable, sometimes useful
• Privacy settings and awareness limiting scope
• May lose appropriateness and relevance
Using Social Tools to aggregate data for better recruiting
• Frees up resource, better interviewing
• Ability to discover outliers and passives
• Spot and contextualise positive personality traits
– Can be refined when combined with psychographic or behavioural data
– Also powerful when teamed with video screening against defined questions
• Accurate because uses real behaviour and content
• Better opportunities for candidate engagement
Social profiling developments for candidates
• Tools and advice to help candidates manage and optimise their social presence to enable them to get better jobs
• Similar tools to those which used by recruiters being offered to candidates to help them make career decisions
• Monster partnering with Assessio in Sweden
• Glassdoor and Google making steps towards candidates being able to build social profiles of potential employers through aggregated reviews, data, social content and information
The dangers of “lazy” social recruitmentThe need to find more diverse ways to understand and engage talent
“Some candidates, with sought after skills, are receiving up to 20 unsolicited approaches a day through LinkedIn, with each becoming background noise and being ignored by the receiver.” Sian Amato, Head of Recruitment, Starcom MediaVest
• Monster Twitter Cards
• Monster Facebook Recruiting (USA)
• Monster Social Job Ads
• TalentBin by Monster
"TalentBin, by Monster, is an example of
how the combination of big data, social and
cloud computing can fundamentally
transform a recruitment search to an
extreme analytics paradigm where people
are "matched" with job opportunities that
closely suit their professional and personal
capabilities and goals."
