Looking at the process, you might consider talent sourcing, candidate relationship management, recruitment workflow, and social media recruitment as vastly different activities.

Should it be “show me the company culture” instead of “show me the money”? The iconic Jerry Maguire catchphrase might not apply to today’s job seekers, who are increasingly looking for corporations where they will enjoy working and can grow their skill sets. A recent survey reported by Glassdoor shows workers are just as interested in company culture and perks as they are in the size of their paycheck. What does this mean for your recruitment efforts and how can recruiting software help? Company branding matters, and it is time to take stock of how well your company brand reflects Read more
