ready to join you just when
Why the Disconnect? you want them to – you
need to be open to hiring
great people at any time
Ownership of the cost of hiring
Lack of accountability
Hiring Top talent does not necessarily work when
filling a job

strong channel for finding

Social recruiting is only one approach

14. “Think of social-media tools as today's version
of the telephone. Yes, they are used for frivolity
and all sorts of noneconomic activity (chatting
with friends, passing the time), but they also
help communication happen more efficiently.”

time we will give them enough evidence to decide if
they are watching an Oscar winning epic, or a horror
story”
(Jan Carlzon- CEO- he turned it from B listing to Airline of the Year)
49. “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you
did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
50. How do we become a good company to work for?
Answer: Be a good company
51. Engagement
Most people approach their work in
one of three ways: as a job, a career, or
a calling
•“an exceptional
employee is not just a
An engaged employee is one who is
little better than someone
willing to put in discretionary effort
who is pretty good they
are 100 times better”
Mark Zuckerberg “

Engagement look at companies like
Junior Achievement
Ireland – one of the best
ways to engage staff

61. Sourcing –vs- Selection
The Interview continues to be the main sourcing tool
despite all the evidence around its success rates?
Daniel Kahneman
65. Trend – Tomorrow’s candidate
I hate networking!! James is 12
…his last Christmas list was online using
price comparison site data!
…her favourite film is Ironman, he
downloaded it from iTunes
...he put together his holiday videos into a 5
minute movie using the iMovie app
… after scanning a QR code on his mum’s
iPhone, he won a trip to Disneyland
… he taught his dad to stream football
online
=> Do you think he’ll ever send you his CV or
reply to a job ad?
66. The Future
Scientists at university of Bradford and
Aberystwyth.
More science and more data may not make it
easier to recruit.
67. “Beat fast my Still Heart”
The theory is that your
date will attribute their
racing heart to
you, rather than the
activity, convincing
themselves you have that
special something
Ref: Richard Wiseman
69. Conclusion/ Takeaways
I hate networking!!

“Good” companies will win.
Understanding how technology can work for you is key.
Recruitment starts at the CEO.

CEOs say it is (our survey says its not) Less than 10% of organisations have a talent metric for the top teamEveryone agrees it is important and the data backs it upWhat makes it so difficult to implement …because of human behaviour and the inability to be totally scientificHR Directors are paid significantly lower than Heads of IT and FinancePwc hiringvs client salesHuman behaviour is a challenge Who wants to be a millionaire in RussiaUltimatum game -
People are not rationalGood nes for trecruiters – machines wont replace us – will talkmore about this laterAlso Malcolm Gladwell in his book Blink talks about Warren harding who became president of the United States in 192x?.
Conclusion – hiring is very difficultFirst you need to find the right people and either you find none or you are swamped with applicationsThen you need to be clear who is right for youThen they need to want you…not as straightforward as it seems given people are not rational
Ownership of the cost of hiring and it is spread across the businessEveryone can easily blame someone else – it was the manager, the process was too slow, what chance do we have against googleetcJust when you are ready to hire is not very linked to when someone may want to wrok for youHow often do you fob someone off when they may be the next excellent employeeHiring Top talent does not necessarily work when filling a job, a job is about skills not success factors, measure performance not personalityStory – trying to get into a company –when no job there
Just to highlight job board still come ourt strong in all pollsIf you want a receptionist – you want to use a job board not a social media platformThere are manay jobs where lots of people can do it
So now you know how Google can be used, we will look at the most favoured of search sites linkedin and I will give you a few ideas on how you can use this simply to find candidates
Here’s the point though – its another tool, nothing more and one that needs to be respectedOnly 10-30% of Professionals are Actively LookingWhat about the other 80% So linkedin’s sale is that jobsites are not the whole population. Don’t limit your reach in terms of size of quality. Go where the best are.But ensure you u/s how to approach themThe flipside is many people are not on jobsites because they are happy and don’t want to be contacted and you could argue there are many people on jobsites that are not on linkedin

They say the best time to approach someone is 6 months after they have left your company alumni groups make this easySet it up and monitor and manageBe clear up front how much time you will give itThere are 1.2 million groups on LI – needs to count!
ACTION: Your company page, your employee profiles and your ability to actively source….plus a ROI
So now we are into the realm of more social less business networkingFacebook is a way of staying in touch and companies love to stay in touch so its obvious that they are going to look at recruiting through itQuestion - Who is on facebook, who is not on facebookIts ok if you don’t get facebook, there are people out there who don’t get digital cameras, bus lanes, talk radio and lots of other things, You do not have to love it. But do you need to understand it – absolutelyIts not going away and the biggest growth demographic is ladies 35 – 45…so its not just for kids.The other point though is that if you do not get it you won’t really be able to use it to recruit as you can do more harm than good to your brand.Finally – it is an amazing thing, anything that grows this quickly at least needs to be understood if not loved, so get understanding!
So how to use facebook – direct advertising…
Brings you to this screen…
So this is the basic – for a small amount of moneyIt tells you how much this will cost….

Be careful of setting it up and not using it Are you checking comments daily – what if someone says “this is an awful place to work” or worse something funny and viral You need time to respond to things...Again – it does not matter what you think of facebookDo they see themselves as competing in the recruitment spaceAre people putting up as much personal information as before and where are we going with privacy legislationIf you don’t have a facebook page its not the end of the world – its better than having one and not using itCompanies who use it well – McDonalds, Puma, E&Y

Regression towards the meanChecklists are another way to promote objectivity. In job interviews, for example, the “halo effect” causes people to weigh first impressions too heavily, to ignore a person’s drawbacks if they charm at first flush. In interviews and clinical consultations, Kahneman favours statistical analysis of standardised questionnaires. Holistic judgments of well-being or character, at least on their own, are overly prone to distortion.

Beat fast my Still Heart. To help promote the chances of a successful date, choose an activity that is likely to get the heart racing. Avoid slow-moving classical –music concerts, country walks and wind chimes. Instead, look towards suspense-filled films, theme parks and cycle rides. The theory is that your date will attribute their racing heart to you, rather than the activity, convincing themselves you have that special something.
Good to great – bureaucracy only exists because of the 10% who would not do it unless you checked up on themNetflix in the US gives out unlimited holidays BUT it also has a very strong performance management culture – they can work togetherHere is the other point – if you asked your teams who were the worst performers, most likely not to last – they will tell you –everyone knows – we just don’t do anything about it
