Creating a great recruiting network begins with five simple steps, according to “Get Plugged In,” an informative executive white paper recently released by Kinetix, the RPO firm for growth companies.
“If you’ve made most of the right moves related to the tools (social media involvement, a LinkedIn account and a decent [client server] ATS), odds are the only thing standing between you and a network that delivers real recruiting results is a networking/marketing strategy that makes the most of who you and your company are,” asserts Kris Dunn, chief human resources officer and partner with Kinetix, in the article.
“Get Plugged In” sets forth a detailed five-step plan that makes the most of strategy, not just technology, for creating a successful networking program. Learn how to use a proactive approach to networking, including adding people to your network, using technology effectively, and how to use content to attract new connections.
Dunn’s article also highlights the importance of creative content to create trust and recognition in a network, where “content is king.” Learn how to use “nerd papers” (white papers) and topical content, as well as “TMZ-like reporting” to add value.
“Consistent content makes your job postings more attractive and increases distribution of your openings/referrals that directly result. People apply to and refer the employment brands they know best,” says Dunn. “In order to tap into that reality, you not only need to build a network, you’ve got to build your/your company’s brand to that network through simple, yet consistent content.”
The article also explores the types of followers and connections in a successful network. Learn about the five faces of followers and the difference between a “Zombie” and a “Stalker” to make the most of a growing network.
