#TChat Recap: The Art Of Candidate Engagement

 

This week we were joined by Johnny Campbell, Founder and CEO at Social Talent; Sara Fleischmann, Purple Squirrel Hunter at Hewlett-Packard; and Stacy Zapar, Founder of Tenfold, and recruiting strategist, trainer & advisor. We talked about the art of candidate engagement.

Organizations spend money trying to source the right talent. The digital landscape offer recruiters numerous ways to connect with talent both on- and offline. But why are spray-and-pray still so common? How can recruiter balance IRL relationship building while utilizing technology to the max?

A1: Safety in numbers. If everyone else is doing it, surely it must work! #TChat #SprayAndPraySucks

A1. "Post & pray" recruiting is still prevalent in many circles because there's a lack of education & motivation in our industry. #tchat
