I live on my iPad for work. I am glued to Evernote and many of the apps that are tied into the Evernote family. I won’t abandon Evernote, but I am interested to see what I am missing.

 

What do you recommend?

 Community_Concept_Medium

It seems that the goal of many recruiters and companies is to have your careers mobile presence include a “talent community“ component. Talent Communities are an interesting topic and one that I believe has the ever popular answer: it depends.

As with any type of strategy you devise and implement, you need to do it correctly and make it meaningful. It would be very easy for companies to create a mobile presence and bolt on a talent community and say that you have one. But the talent community needs to be more than a location to be worthwhile for the user. Content is key for anyone, let alone to have them return. What should your talent community include?

  • Blog - Why not include comments from your employees to explain what it is like to work at your company, what attracted them to join and why they enjoy what they do? Being able to provide insight to the company is valuable information!
  • Media - Videos and pictures of fun events, work, projects, community outreach, etc. All great to give insight to potential employees.
  • Jobs - Kinda obvious.
  • Games - A fun reason to keep coming back! And make it relevant about your company, will serve a double purpose.
  • Comments - Let candidates leave questions or provide comments… but make someone is there to listen and respond.

Providing this type of community is ideal, but make sure you can manage it and add insight for candidates. Having poor customer services will do more harm than good, especially in a job search.

It’s Only a Phone Interview

March 14, 2013

Recently, I’ve had phone conversations with candidates that at some point during the discussion paused to say “I’m really nervous, sorry”. This always takes me by surprise. I think I am a pretty unintimidating person even on the phone. Sure the phone interview is most often the first step into an interview process. Being prepared [...]
