Facebook Jobs Will Change Online Recruitment Forever - Workology

Facebook Jobs Will Change Online Recruitment Forever - Workology Jobs in Tough Economics Times Having spent more than some time in the HR and recruiting industry, I’ve seen the fall of traditional news media help wanted ads, the growth of the job board industry, the decline of the job board and now the rise social media.   While many have claimed each of these news and media distribution channels are the answer to our recruiting salvation, I disagree.   I completely disagree even when it comes to Facebook. Each one of these platforms offers the ability to reach a group of job seekers that is different and diverse.   Because the American public is more diverse and different than ever before which is why Facebook’s play in the job board marketplace is so appealing. Jobs in Tough Economics Times June’s Department of Labor numbers lists that 12.7 million Americans are out of work, and yet if you ask recruiters and organizational senior leaders, they say that hiring qualified candidates is more challenging than ever.   It is not the free and fluid job market that one might expect given our economy.   In fact, it’s down right difficult to fill a single position.   Hiring managers sift through the hundreds of resumes with a growing percentage of these candidates not being qualified for the position. The job market right now is just like the supermarket during an impending snowstorm here in the Midwest, but in reverse.   Customers out of fear rush to their nearest grocery or local market clearing the shelves.   It’s a frenzy as people fight for bottled water, canned goods, and batteries many not even needing the additional supplies.   Weather, like the hiring process and the economy is not a science and not 100 percent predictable.   Companies advertise their openings using what I call the “spray and pray.”   They send out their message to every job seeker hoping for a response, thereby creating a feeding frenzy of under-qualified, non-qualified, and desperate candidates.   Qualified candidates are overlooked.   Companies do nothing to explain the reason why the job seeker was turned down for the offer, and the frenzied cycle repeats again and again. Finding Jobs on Facebook Facebook’s entry into the job board market could change all that.   They offer the largest collective group of users throughout the globe, over 1 billion strong with Americans spending nearly 400 minutes a month on the world’s largest social network.   Their platform offers companies and human resource managers up to the minute insights into their user base from photos to interests, and conversations not to mention killer trends and analytics.   LinkedIn use falls short at just 17 minutes a month.   See a push from Facebook in the coming months to suggest that users fully complete their profiles including their work history and experience as they prepare to launch their job board as part of the Social Jobs Partnership.   “Jobs” will be a collaborative effort which is what makes them very different from their soon to be social recruiting rival, LinkedIn. Inside sources say Facebook won’t be launching the traditional job board we are familiar with.   Facebook will partner with non-profit organizations like Direct Employers and the National Association for Careers and Employers, government entities in addition to HR technology vendors like BranchOut and Work4Labs.   This is a solid strategy for Facebook as there are a number of technology companies and job boards who are `all in’ having established platforms, services, and apps for job seekers, recruiting, and hiring contained within Facebook.   LinkedIn, however, has partners parting ways with Twitter saying adeiu to LinkedIn last month. Facebook and Recruiting Online Facebook is right to be cautious in establishing their key relationships.     They are not an expert when it comes to the employment market or the human resources tech space.   Otherwise, they would have leveraged their site’s marketplace section in 2008 during the recession when companies first turned to social recruiting as a legitimate option in which to hunt, recruit, and fill open positions.   Ninety-three percent of recruiters say they used LinkedIn or plan to in 2012 for recruiting versus Facebook which stands at 66% use in a 2012 Jobvite Study. Facebook provides employers a real opportunity to leverage the entire job seeker as an individual customers, candidate, employee and consumer.   Employers can and should build a long term relationship built on trust, brand, and conversations.   This combined with their potential analytics offerings can provide companies the whole story when it comes to job seeker and employee patterns, trends, likes, and dislikes and beyond. This post was originally posted on the Huffington Post where I write weekly.

Pooper Scooper Service Pooper scooper administrations have demonstrated a sharp uptick in popularity. There are even a few significant establishments that offer hopeful entrepreneurs the opportunity to turn out to be a piece of a set up group, (for example, Pet Butler and DoodyCalls).

How early should I show up for a job interview The perfect time to show up and make a great impression

How early should I show up for a job interview The perfect time to show up and make a great impression When to  arrive for a job interview Job interview? Dont be late, but dont be too early either When to  arrive for a job interview This week’s topic is a job interview no-brainer to many, but I feel it is important. Based on a long history of conducting interviews, this is a topic that needs to be explained. Show up too early or too late to a job interview and it will be over before it started. Just like Goldilocks and the three bears, our arrival time needs to be “jussstttt righhhhtt”. There are plenty of blogs titled  â€œWhen to show up for an interview”. What is missing is the “WHY” it is important to show up at a specific time. By providing this background, I hope candidates will understand why timing is so important and can start  the interview off on the right foot. Confirm the location the day before I do agree with the advice of visiting the place where the interview is going to take place the day before. This ensures you know exactly where you need to be. In a day with Google Maps on phones, there is no reason folks should be using the excuse, “Sorry I am late, I couldn’t find your office”. Inexcusable.   Sorry I am late, I got lost If we are late and use the excuse “I got lost and could not find the place”, the interview is over. If you are lost or running late, its easy to salvage the  interview. Text me, phone me, email me or send me a homing pigeon. Just give me a heads up 15 minutes prior and not when the interview is going to start. With all the various forms of technology out there, a heads up is a courteous thing to do. This way I can give the folks who will be conducting the interview a heads up. Hiring managers don’t like to be kept waiting and no one wants anyone wondering Where the hell is the candidate? My advice is to show up 10 minutes early in the lobby of the desired company and let the interviewers  know you made the appointment. I think that more than 15 minutes is a too early. Conversely, 5 minutes is a little too late. As a candidate, waiting too long or feeling rushed in the lobby will only add to your anxiety factor and we want to start the interview relaxed. Ten  minutes will give  us time to use the restroom or check out any company literature in the lobby. Dont stress the interviewer before the meeting  starts This will sound very selfish, but interviewers have schedules to keep. I realize that  interviewers run late ALL THE TIME. This blog is about landing a job, not about the candidate experience. Managers  want the assurance  that their  schedules are on time because running late affects the next meeting. If the manager has a hard stop, a late-starting  interview late gives us  LESS time to prove we  are the worthy candidate. As a recruiter, I rest easy when I know the candidate arrived 10 minutes early. I don’t have to worry about you not showing up, or worse, showing up late. Showing up late is a lack of courtesy and can potentially put an entire day behind. As a candidate, we want to make the best  impression that we can. I am not asking you to suck up or act submissive to the hiring manager. I don’t want you to think that the hiring company has all the power. Most recruiters want to make as good an impression on the candidate as the candidate wants to make with the recruiter. It’s a two-way street. Believe it or not, good recruiters and good managers worry about the candidate experience. I just want candidates to take as many liabilities  off the table as possible. The ability to show up on time is critical. It is a predictor of showing up on time for work, meetings, and functions with clients. Dont be too early Over the years, I have had seen many candidates show up 30 minutes early. This is too early. As a host, I feel like I need to rush what I am doing so the candidate doesn’t have to wait so long. The reception person feels bad that the candidate has to wait this long. If we do arrive 30 minutes early, stop at a coffee shop and show up 10 minutes before. Requisite dating example Let’s say I have a first date with a woman I am sincerely interested in and she is sincerely interested in me. (Hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut!)  If I commit that I will come to her place to pick her up at 8:00 PM, I shouldn’t ring the doorbell at 7:30. I shouldn’t even ring the bell at 7:45. Hair is going to be in disarray, multiple outfits are going to be laid out over the bed, 6 pairs of shoes are going to be in front of the full-length mirror and general panic will ensue. At least that is what would happen if she showed up at on my doorstep 30 minutes early. I  will feel like I need to  rush while she is awkwardly waiting in the living room. For both of us, each minute passing is the proverbial “dog minute”. Each minute feels like 7. I am sure that by 8:00, I will be frazzled and not happy with my outfit. She will feel like she should have waited in the car around the corner.   This guy wasnt supposed to be here for another 15 minutes! Keep em updated If I am picking her up, the courteous thing to do would be to text her at 7:50 and let her know I am about 10 minutes away. She doesn’t have to worry if I am going to stand her up, and knows I am the punctual type. If I show up late with no notice, every minute after 8:05 feels like an eternity. We could have taken this concern off the table, instead, we just started the first date off with anxiety. If I want to send the message that I really don’t give a shit, I just need to show up 20 minutes late and not give her courtesy text. Not just your reputation is at stake If I am going to be late, I send a text. I think most people are very forgiving when they receive a heads up. Remember, the recruiter is putting their reputation on the line when they ask you to interview with the hiring manager or the VP. They want to know that they can count on your to show up on time, well dressed and with minty fresh breath. Next time you have an interview, treat the event as if it is the first date with someone you are interested in having an LTR with. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
