It will happen!!
Hire within our database?
Become the consumer must have
Will our thirst for media consumption continue top grow unabated? And will we continue to be happy publishing ourselves in minute detail, almost autobiographic?
But before we do.....A good place to start is by looking at The humble Lightbulb – Thomas Edison circa 1880...In terms of the problem it solves it’s still the same, in fact it looks the same!However there’s improvements – it use to only shine for 13 hours, and used a lot of energy – the need it fills is still the same today..
Today – it uses less power and is better for the environment – as that's important to usThere’s been tweaks in the gases used, and probably numerous other changes...But it’s primary purpose is still the same – it provides a need to solve a problem...So has in recruitment has the need stayed the same – person x for job y!
And on that noteWe want to firstly address that while there’s a squillion things that are here right now, and coming up fast around the corner.... people Needs haven't changed. So before we start anything we should always look at the need! before we look at the channel or address the idea.So before we start talking about the latest and the greatest, emerging new media, trends and channels... Lets remind ourselves of what candidates/consumers need, and what’s work for them. What technology has done has allowed us to deliver and response to those needs FASTER and more efficiently.... And its creating deand

And mobile can add ensure you really engage with your candidates. The centrepiece of this campaign was a fully interactive website. But even the outdoor campaign had an interactive element. Poster sites, branded trams and taxis featured advanced image recognition technology, enabling candidates to choose the LV=person they’d like to hear from. You took a photo of the ad, text in the picture and get a call back from that very person. Historically, LV= hired over 75% of their people through consultants. But in the last year, direct applications have doubled and 82% of all hires are now direct. Cost per hire has dropped from around £2,000 to under £900. And since that applies to just over 1000 people in the last twelve months, it equates to a saving of around £1.1 million.
Mobile at large gives us the ability to target using geography. We are not fully using this to our benefit, combine it with sourcing

. Qantas are hiring pilots, engineers and cabin crews overseas where labour costs are lower. It makes sense. Or does it? When most people choose to fly Qantas many think they are paying inflated Qantas fares for the expertise of its staff. At the moment, the pilots have restricted their industrial campaign to a short cockpit announcementthat says: ''We are proud of our profession and our airline, and trust you will support us in keeping Qantas pilots in Qantas aircraft and ensuring our great iconic airline remains uniquely Australian.'‘ In short this story shows how interlinked PR and the attitudes of staff can be.The picture is of the TV finalists from the Qantas Film & TV AwardsRead more: http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/why-we-want-qantas-pilots-in-the-cockpit-20110813-1is32.html#ixzz1VuBwdTbo
