FALLING FLAT…
Scrolling though job agency websites can get very monotonous. Generic descriptions showing no perks or passions. How uninspiring. Finding the right job you want before applying for it should be more than just a vast blanket that falls over any old prospective candidate, but instead be tailor made and unique to YOU!
WHO IS JIM?
So, what is the perfect job-hunting experience? How about finding yourself on a journey; a virtual digital tour? Why not be immersed into the world of the company you want to work for? Or discovering every aspect of the role, from virtual tours of the office, to a day in the life of a worker? Digital marketing company ThirtyThree, in their collaboration with us at Capita, are able to do that for you. By creating a JIMS, companies are able to give prospective candidates the chance to see into the organisation’s world. In case you are unfamiliar with JIMS, no, it is not a character from Coronation Street; it is in fact a Job Integration Management Solution. Another name you may recognise is SaaS (Software as a Service). In fact, there may be a variety of buzzwords that other organisations may call this innovative software. This method of job hunting is becoming more popular as less people aren’t choosing to walk into high street agencies, instead searching online in the comfort of their own home.
UNDERSTANDING CREATES TALENT
The solution to the problem when recruiting the right talent is how ThirtyThree have recognised that TVP (targeted value proposition) helps zone in and target on companies understanding themselves, and recruiting and retaining the best people possible. Job hunters are suddenly going to be engaged and inspired, when they are searching for a particular role, with this software that we can offer our clients. ThirtyThree have the power to bring that directly to the job seeker with the magic of JIMS by zoning in and paying close attention to create a job description that people access through Google rather than job agencies. Whether we care to agree or not, millennials and our latest Gen Z generation are more focused on their role title over which company they work for; so, by integrating the job description into the company and why it would be so beneficial to work there, the company and their recruitment process will get quicker, smarter, slicker for the future.
DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE
If organisations can discover what kind of people are applying for their unique roles, they can ensure that they can make steps to become more appealing in the long run. Because ThirtyThree are able to offer this software to their clients, it can keep them (and us at Capita Resourcing) in powerful positions; our clients are cutting out the middle man, therefore costs are down, and specific talent is found, saving time - no need for high-street agencies with their generic job lists. Whether we like it or not, quality over quantity wins every time. In the fourth and final episode of our ThirtyThree series, we focus on how employer branding can teach to become better employers and recruiters, rather than just better advertisers.
