What do candidates look for when reviewing your company online or on social media? 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. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeewitharecruiter/message

What should you assess when interviewing candidates? 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. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeewitharecruiter/message

Should you be a "friendly recruiter" with candidates or keep things professional with them? 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.

It's essential to build good relationships with candidates, but should we do that by asking them what their hobbies are? Or what their weaknesses are, or why they want to join our company? 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? We'll look at why some questions cause harm, the power of mirroring, showing curiosity and simplicity in writing. Here I draw insights from the following articles/books: Tomas Chamorro Premuzic - Why do so many incompetent men become leaders?; Chris Voss - Never split the difference; https://forge.medium.com/the-2-word-trick-that-makes-small-talk-interesting-fdd4d5aa693; William Zinsser - On writing well; Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeewitharecruiter/message
