Hire Quality Employees with Career Sites
April 15th, 2009
“People who go to an employer’s web site tend to be a higher quality candidate,” says Kent Kirch, global director of recruiting for Deloitte & Touche. Does your web site capture top talent by presenting compelling reasons why they should work for you?
A recent study indicated that 51% of all hires made in 2005 were sourced through corporate career sites. Large corporations have utilized this cost effective method of recruiting for years. Even small to mid-size companies can benefit from a corporate career site that projects a positive employer image.
A company without a career site may be perceived as a stodgy employer that fails to invest in the future or in their employees. However, a well-designed career site can turn curious visitors into serious applicants. With competition for talent heating up, first impressions count!
