Job Seeker Journey

16. 16
Job Seekers are now treating a job search like they would when
making a substantial purchase for a consumer product.
This includes:

reputation

work experience might be like
• Turning to a personal social network

What does this shift mean for companies?
• Recruiting & HR departments have lost control of the narrative

that comes their way

• Job seekers are more educated and aware than ever before
• Many understand income opportunities come in all shapes and sizes
• Trends will continue as more sectors adjust to realities of new economy
Job seeker journey.

18. 18
What can companies do to combat the shift?
• Assess current culture

• "More Social. Less Media.”
• Become a brand known for thought leadership
• Build a community around the brand's products and services
• Turn to passionate employees and executives as champions of your brand
