To answer this question, we’ll review an academic paper titled “EMPLOYER BRANDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND RECRUITMENT WEBSITES: SYMBOLIC TRAITS OF AN IDEAL EMPLOYER - authors: L Eger, M Mičík, P Řehoř”.

The researchers in the academic article try to do two things:

First, they look at how young people assess the personality traits of an ideal employer.

Second, they research how these people use company recruitment websites and social media to gain information about their future employers.

I’ll first introduce some key concepts. Afterwards, I’ll present the research, the results, and personal observations on using these insights. 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Defining the criteria interviewers should assess is often an improvised exercise at many companies, leading to bias and bad hires. We need a more scientific way of defining these criteria so we can hire the best people. How do we do that?

This episode looks at Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic’s RAW model of defining these criteria from his book The Talent Delusion. I briefly summarise the model and give some personal observations on how to use his model. Thomas Chamorro Premuzic is an organisational psychologist, Chief Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup and author: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Talent-Delusion-Intuition-Unlocking-Potential/dp/0349412480/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UL9M36T8Q58J&dchild=1&keywords=the+talent+delusion&qid=1631646867&sr=8-1

Now let’s get started.

Well, there’s academic research done on the topic of recruiter friendliness by workplace and management professors. What do they say?

In this episode, I’ll discuss the theory behind recruiter friendliness, what friendliness looks like, and the overall impact of being a friendly recruiter on our recruitment processes. To explain these topics, I’ll summarise one academic article called Effects of recruiter friendliness and job attribute information on recruitment outcomes by researchers of Chapman University, University of South Florida and Florida State.

I don’t think we should; some discussions that aim to build relationships in our social lives bring unexpected problems to our interview processes. What are these problems, and what should we say if we still want to build rapport with a candidate?

Here I draw insights from the following articles/books:

• Tomas Chamorro Premuzic - Why do so many incompetent men become leaders?;

It's not enough anymore to just send CVs and book in interviews.

We need to be “hiring advisors” to stakeholders.

Bringing in not just candidates, but also important recruitment insights in order for hiring managers to make informed hiring decisions (competitor analysis, salary benchmarks, employer brand comparisons for example).

In this podcast episode, I discuss what this professional change is, the use of market mapping, along with 3 guidelines to follow and 3 challenges to watch out for when advising hiring managers.
