The 10 largest Recruiting groups on LinkedIn

admin — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:00:54 +0000

LinkedIn is full of feature rich content outside of connecting with people you don’t know. As a recruiter you can leverage groups in a couple of ways to help better your business. You can join industry based groups in line to the types of individuals that you are recruiting or you can recruiting and HR groups to help better your skills and engage in meaningful conversations.

I try to keep a strong mix of the two but how you build your groups network is squarely on you. Regardless there is an etiqutte to participating in these groups, especially as a recruiter. The most important part is to remember that the groups member s are not necessarily looking to be recruited so you must play nice.

Below in order only to groups membership size are the most active HR and Recruitment groups on LinkedIn. I am defining active as the most “active disscussions” and membership activities.

It’s not a secret anymore. Companies have hiring needs and regulations that they must meet. When organizations need to meet these regulations their recruiting organization must have the tools to uncover the proper candidates.

Where do you do as a recruiter to ensure you are providing a substantial slate of qualified candidates to your hiring teams but ensure that you are meeting diversity regulations? Do you do anything? We’ve all become familiar with Job board aggregators and what we like to call niche job boards.

But realistically how many recruiters truly understand how to leverage these niche boards and sites? Now the list below will not get you too candidates, but what it will do is get you to the companies that specifically set out build their workforce with the candidates that you are sourcing for.

How I approach this:

Simply run you search on the appropiate site
Facat find and gather the companies and job titles that they are hiring
Cross reference the job titles that are being advertised on the sites on sites like LinkedIn, Jigsaw etc.
Contact the candidates you’ve now uncovered as necessarry

Here are 8 targeted resources that you can you to attract and source diverse candidate slates. This list is actually a subset of the Job board aggregator SimplyHired.com.

Enjoy and please share with friends:

Is ResumePal the Answer?

Is ResumePal the Answer?

Job Seeker’s frustration with the application process was sited as the number one concern during an informal poll I conducted last week using multiple social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and LinkedIn. The response was overwhelming with well over 50 comments in the form of emails, direct messages, replies, and general comments. Survey participants expressed concerns with the length of the job search process from the resume to job offer process particularly with the Talent Management Tracking Systems that most mid to large sized companies use to manage their job openings and applicant flow.

@JenniferHarper commented like many, “(Biggest frustration) probably creating an account and entering your information on every organization’s website over and over again.”

Candidates on average spend between more than 20-30 minutes creating profiles and submitting applications for job board websites like Monster and CareerBuilder and sometimes even longer for company specific career sites depending on candidate assessments and skill questionnaires that are required as part of the application process.

Job Fox, a company formed in 2004 aims to bring candidates and companies together with a new tool called, ResumePal. ResumePal is a new service released earlier this year that hopes to make the application process easier for job seekers. Candidates can visit www.jobfox.com or www.resumepal.com and create a candidate profile online once and have the ability to apply to thousands of company career sites. Steven Toole, the VP of Employer Marketing compares ResumePal to PayPal. Much like PayPal, job seekers can use the ResumePal service as a way to universally apply for positions. Companies and Talent Management Systems who use ResumePal can do so at no cost which certainly makes the new tool attractive.

Job Fox’s biggest obstacle will not only be generating traffic and interest for candidates to log onto their site and create a profile as well as convincing millions of companies to utilize the free service. Although ResumePal is a service that is at no cost to companies, the majority of companies are struggling to manage outdated and expensive talent management systems. And updating career service sites is certainly not at the top of the priority list for most companies, who have paired down non-income generating departments like Human Resources, Recruiting, and Information Technology during the current economic crisis.

According to Cheezehead.com, Job Fox has also felt the effects of what Job Fox called “the new normal” economy. In early February 2009, Job Fox restructured its sales force and laid off 30 sales representatives. For most, job seekers and recruiting professionals included, the jury is still out for ResumePal.

CruiterTalk Job Board

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:56:48 +0000

So a few weeks ago I sent a quick note to readers of CruiterTalk.com regarding the state of the economy and the job market. Over last week or so I’ve had the opportunity to speak with many readers about their situation and found that the readership is being affected in a big way.

Many suggestions came in as to how I may be able to help some folks as a great token of appreciation for their loyalty. Most suggestions came in to some how integrate an aggregate job board into the Blog for easy access. So I did. I’ve partnered with Simply Hired to leverage their aggregate search system in CruiterTalk.

With this I hope to accomplish a few things.

1. Help to centralize your job search. Forget figuring out where to go. Using the search access through CruiterTalk will help you to accomplish a more directed search towards the talent management world. Using the simply hired engine itself is directed to all careers. CruiterTalk hold a stronger focus in the Talent Management space.

2. Your searches will aggregate results from ALL job boards. Yes, this included Monster, Careerbuilder etc.

3. You will soon see a new section which will include resumes of our readers who are in need of new projects. I will update everyone when this happens.

Thanks again for all of your loyalty, it’s greatly appreciated and please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Regards,

Ryan Leary
