<p>Engagement. What is it? What does it mean? And how do you measure it? It’s a tough question, and I will jump to say that the vast majority of companies, corporate or vendor based running a form of social campaign <a href="http://www.recruitingtools.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/influence.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3780" title="influence" src="http://www.recruitingtools.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/influence-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>have no clue.</p>
<p>The last few years have seen corporate talent operations engulf social media or <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=define:+%22social+recruiting%22&amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank">“social recruiting”</a> (Google has no definition) as the only absolute in their organization. I want to be clear that I am a firm believer in social and 2<sup>nd</sup> generation connecting for the purpose of talent acquisition. But I am a bigger fan of process and meaningful connecting. I talk about it a bit here in the <a href="http://www.recruitingtools.com/2008/12/08/community/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">4 c&#8217;s</a>, <a href="http://www.recruitingtools.com/2009/07/10/rules-of-engagement/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Engagement</a> and the <a href="http://www.recruitingtools.com/2009/03/26/is-recruiting-a-purely-electronic-transaction/" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Electronic Exchange</a>.</p>
<p>This past week I was a silent participant in a recruiting conversation offline that opened my eyes to how dangerously clueless a lot of recruiting leaders are.  (Silent as I sat in but remained quiet)</p>
<p>This is a serious problem that will only lead to greater failures. These are large mega companies with billion dollar brands and trillion dollar dreams. Companies that on the surface have elegantly articulated the process for their talent community but have genuinely failed at any backend process that would be recognized as mediocre.</p>
<p>The conversation was around engagement and metrics within the talent community. What do we need to measure and how do we measure it? <em><span style="color: #800000;">The companies will 100% remain anonymous and I will not share the participants, but I will share a few good things that came out of the call.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Building and measuring a talent community are 2 separate challenges. How to measure and what metrics “we” (collectively) need and/or want to measure:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Engagement</span>: Engagement was defined as how the organization would approach potential prospects or visitors to the named landing page or community page. Some ideas included activities, contests, give a ways and so on. The end result was an agreement that the engagement must consist of a way to attract potential talent; which I agree with.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">The question posed was</span>: What metrics you currently use to measure return on engagement activities? Though I felt this could have been a deeper conversation here are the notes that I gathered during the call.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Metrics to monitor when assessing the return on your talent community efforts</strong>: </span>(Not an exhaustive list but a few to get the conversation started):</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #800000;">Content:</span> Content is king and the king will always win.  Great content generates great engagement. Though I agree with this there was no serious breakout of what great content is. I am not even sure you can label great content. Great content is in perspective of the reader. My feeling is that you need to understand your target audience and why they are visiting your site or reading your content.</li>
</ol>
<p>It’s important to understand your goal and have a clearly defined plan on how you will get there and how you will navigate around the roadblocks that will arise. And arise they will.</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #800000;">Content      tracking</span> can be accomplished rather quickly and easily with programs      like <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">Google Analytics</a> but      study these before you choose. There are others that will fit your      specific needs better than the standard free applications.</li>
<li><span style="color: #800000;">Tracking      stickiness:</span> how long a reader was reading your content and how many      click thru’s they had during their visit. Did they click 1 article or 4? And      which article where they? Were they related to the entrance point they      came through to get onto your site or did you entice them to read      additional articles that are not related to the original reason they      visited your work? Another nice tool I find helps is <a href="http://web.analytics.yahoo.com/">Yahoo’s Index Tools.</a></li>
<li><span style="color: #800000;">Content      Downloads</span>: i.e. whitepapers, research, abstracts. Did you <span style="color: #800000;">convert      the visitor into a candidate? </span>A visitor is a prospect. Do not be fooled by      your statistics telling you that you had 600 visitors today but 50 where      unique and you only had 5 downloads of the content you wanted to push out.</li>
<li><span style="color: #800000;">Measure      Subscriptions </span>to your community and to your links or feeds.  There are free and paid services. I      prefer some of the the paid for tracking details however you can always use free      services like a <a href="http://www.mailchimp.com/">mailchimp</a> (to an      extent) but a very strong service or you use an open source like <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CBYQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phplist.com%2F&amp;ei=1ZA_TduTDsKclge40sHtAg&amp;usg=AFQjCNG2Dpt0P1VeG8ACNcBQ6VDncea81Q&amp;sig2=30vDVOXjwARfPF5o5sPxzA">PhP</a> if you can handle  it on your own.</li>
</ol>
<p>A <span style="color: #800000;">career blog</span> for example that has 17,000 subscribers looks good, but is it relevant? This is the same argument as being a top 10 connector on LinkedIn. What does this get you? Access to more people? On the surface yes, but relevance..not a chance in hell. We’ll discuss that in another post, but you can read bit on relevance at <a href="http://www.booleanblackbelt.com/2011/01/does-linkedin-offer-recruiters-any-competitive-advantage/">Boolean Blackbelt and Glen’s post on LinkedIn’s Competitive advantage.</a></p>
<p>Target your network accordingly. If you are focused on sales recruiting than have a plan to target your top prospects (companies not individuals) and work out a way to effectively convert them into a candidate.</p>
<ol>
<li>Recruiter      return is a serious metric that without fail needs to be measured,      tracked and monitored. Your recruiters are the face of your organization.      Their attitude tells the story. Their ability to effectively articulate      the message decides whether or not the prospect is converted into a candidate.</li>
</ol>
<p>I will leave on the note of “recruiter return” and tackle that in the next installment.</p>

<p>Jim Stroud is a regular contributor the Sourcing community and we partner of some projects. I love his work and his videos are very informative.

<p>on Dogpile.com.  loved the video and Jim was gracious enough to allow me to share it on RecruitingTools with our readers.</p>
<p>In this episode of The Searchologist, Jim Stroud explains how to search Google, Yahoo and Bing more efficiently by using the metasearch engine – Dogpile. Plus, Otis Collier gives tips on how to increase views of your Linkedin profile.</p>

<p>As a recruiter one of your key drivers is to create value around your insights. Creating this value can sometimes be a difficult task. Having the proper tools to efficiently mine conversations and comments better ref, “micro-conversations” will provide you with some great ammunition when targeting prospects both candidates and clients.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll look at this from 3 different perspectives and show you one of my favorite mining tools in the video below. When leveraging these tools I really focus on 3 key areas; Candidate prospecting, Client prospecting, and Personal brand management.</p>
<p>As difficult as it can get, with the proper tools it can be easier. And I’ll stress the <span style="color: #800000;">ier</span> part of that because this job is not a cake walk. But having the ability to set filters, targets and mediums allows you to get inside of the candidates and clients world is essential.</p>
<p>One of the first rules of social media or social recruiting is listening. It’s about understanding how to build your social world around you in an effective and efficient matter that I refer to as the 4C’s.</p>
<p>Understanding where and how you prospective candidates and clients are communicating with each other will not just provide you with some critical messaging but will allow you to be genuine in your approach and help you to refrain from sounding like a sales person that just read up on the company website.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Here are 2 key tools we’ve been playing with and find to be pretty solid:</span></p>

<p>It&#8217;s shaping up to be a Facebook week on Recruitingtools, but that&#8217;s OK. I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to speak with the folks over at jobmagic the last couple of weeks. In that I&#8217;ve run multiple variations of demos and trails of this application both on a corporate <a href="http://recruiter.com/recruiting-technology/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/jm.png"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2928" title="jm" src="http://www.recruitingtools.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/jm-150x150.png" alt="jm" width="150" height="150" /></a> level and individual recruiter level.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">This is not a paid review.</span> I&#8217;ve just had significant success with the tool and felt that I wanted to to share my thoughts. I&#8217;ve been speaking with 2 of their people over there. Paul (Thanks for the guidance and product demos) and Jindrich, founder and CEO.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll see the quick breakdown in the video below, but in the end Jobmagic has been givin me a significant reason to use Facebook during the day. It&#8217;s certainly not perfect but it&#8217;s a damn good tool that you need to evaluate.</p>

<p>Human beings are social animals and they always like to be in groups. In the new web 2.0 world – this also holds very much true. The  social networking has provided people a life 2.0 where they can create their own  groups, be part of them and engage people – <img class="alignright" src="http://socialmediatraininginc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/LinkedIn-Groups-for-Business.png" alt="" width="443" height="349" />without actually having a trouble to meet them (!).</p>
<p>This time, I am talking about professional networking groups &#8211; LinkedIn Groups. Groups provide a great platform for like-minded people to discuss and share thoughts about their common interest. Especially LinkedIn Groups is a very engaging way to create a community around similar skills / interest / industry / technology (so on and so forth). However with 100s of new groups popping every day AND with 50 groups’ limit of LinkedIn, one has to think very logically about his/her strategy around groups. Though 50 seem to be a big number; with amount of groups that LI offers – this actually proves to be a very small number.</p>
<p>This creates a new challenge for everyone about how to manage their LinkedIn groups. Here’re my few guidelines as starters (I’m sure you will come up with many more).</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Be selective about your groups and ignores the rest</span></strong></p>
<p>LinkedIn Groups has also powered personal branding in a big way. Now-a-days people mention on their resume / CV / profile about the groups they author and population of their groups. While creating Groups is a very easy process, maintaining / growing them needs dedicated efforts. You have to be very selective about groups you join and ignore the rest of requests. Avoid being part of groups without proper overview analysis of people in the group, motto of the group and author. Remember – LinkedIn is a professional network; hence joining groups of night clubs, celebrity fan pages OR sports / entertainment would not give a good professional image of yours.<br />
Groups that you join also get featured on your public profile page in LinkedIn. Hence, make sure those groups reflect your professional image / expertise.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">How active are your current groups?</span></strong></p>
<p>As I said previously – people starts their groups with great enthusiasm; however fails to carry on the momentum. After sometime those groups just occupies your Group list without any significant activity. It’s difficult to track activities of all your groups daily – but once in a while visit every group that you have subscribed and see what’s going on.<br />
• Observe how much relevant the discussion topics are.<br />
• See how current those topics are.<br />
• Do you see many replies or threads by industry specialists?<br />
• Did those discussions / news allow you to learn anything new?<br />
• How big is audience? Even if it is small – how engaging they are?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Where are your industry experts?</span></strong></p>
<p>Generally speaking this is a good indications about which are the better groups than others. Being experts in their industry – these are the sources for good advice, tips etc. Try to follow their groups as starting points. This can give you a way to other like-minded professionals. This will also help you to connect with them and their community as a good brand building exercise for yourself. However – again don’t follow them blindly.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Are you getting ROI?</span></strong></p>
<p>We subscribe in groups with set of expectations. It’s a simple give and take activity. People expect to contribute and in return get advice about their own requests. To evaluate this you have to participate actively in group discussions by answering or posting new topics. Closely observe about how much attention / response you get for your meaningful contribution. Are you getting new ideas, concepts and responses? If yes – this is an investment group for you. If there is very little response and sharing by group members – it’s best to exit and create a slot for new group.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Spam-Hunters</span></strong></p>
<p>Everyone has his/her own strategy behind creating their groups. Some people want to enhance their own brand and others have a genuine knowledge sharing intentions. Groups are a very easy target for Spam-hunters – especially now when we have open groups. If you are getting spam emails about any product / company / individual promoting something and if that person is group author – it’s a clear indication of his ROI of group. If you are getting spam-mails from other member – best to tell group author so that he/she can remove this person.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Industry Presence</span></strong></p>
<p>How many of your colleagues, industry connections etc are present in your group? This might give you a good indication about usefulness. At the end of the day – groups are nothing but collaboration of people along with their skills / experience. This might also be a good opportunity for you to invite your colleagues to your groups to increase effectiveness. This chain reaction helps any group to be people and content rich.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Engagement / Relationship Building</span></strong></p>
<p>Apart from knowledge sharing and Q&amp;A sessions – groups are excellent way to meet new people in your industry. This way you can create, engage and maintain relationships with new people. A good group and its leader (at least initially) should facilitate conversations and engagement process. I’ve got many good industry connections and even friends by being an active member in some groups. This engagement and relationship building helps a great deal when you meet them face to face to cement this further.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Periodic Review – Clean up &amp; Enrichment</span></strong></p>
<p>You should visit your set of groups once every 3 months or so. Just go through your list and pick out any obvious groups which are not yielding any ROI despite your contribution. This helps to clean up non-yielding groups to give space (Remember 50 limitation?) to new fresh groups. I’m sure you will find at least 3 to 4 such groups every quarter. Similarly – you should also search for any new groups and consider any good recommendations within your network. This cleaning up exercise makes sure that your set of groups is really worth being onto your profile list.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Thinking of Creating your own Group?</span></strong></p>
<p>OR even better – do you already have one? You have a great responsibility of making sure that you keep your group enriched and engaging all the time. As an author – you have to invest good amount of time (at least in initial stages) to attract new talent and keep your audience engaged. You also need to have a specific vision/motto to create your group. You work as a facilitator initially to set right tone and giving direction to your group. Once you start getting good contribution – work as controller to avoid any ill-effects and make sure your group is on right track. Key thing is that you have to lead from the front and invest efforts to get good ROI. Make sure that you key-in right people into the group who will lead from the front – also make them co-admins if you have trust.</p>
<p>In recent times Social / Professional networking has given a fantastic platform to create communities, share ideas and drive thought process. Saying this – one has to know how to manage and get most of out of their groups. It’s key to be in right groups and right times! With 50 group limit in LinkedIn – this becomes more important.</p>
<p>At the end of the day – you get identified by a Group (company) you keep!!!!!</p>

He has enjoyed wearing different hats, including sourcer, recruiter, team lead, client servicing manager, pre-sales, and executive hiring – but beneath all that, sourcing is what makes him happy. Currently, Brahme works for CapGemini in India in Strategic and Executive Hiring – Sourcing. He is a firm believer in the recruitment sourcing concept and always thinks that sourcing as a function has immense power to change the way recruiters recruit.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
