Whether you attended JobG8's event this week or simply followed along in the Twittersphere with #jobg8summitNA, you were sure to learn a lot. Candidate experience and strategic content marketing were the big topics this year, and if you weren’t able to make it, thankfully master-tweeters Matt Charney (@RecruitingBlogs), Jessica Miller Merrell (@Blogging4Jobs), Jeff Dickey-Chasins (@JobBoardDoctor), Ward Christman (@HRTechAdvisor) and Cory Kapner (@CKapner123) have your back. Here are 10 takeaways (in tweets!) from the conference:
- There’s no competition when you’re doing something original, relevant and valuable. (via @MattCharney)
- The user experience is the candidate experience. Invest in the user experience. (via @JobBoardDoctor @MattCharney)
- It’s all about your content strategy. (via @HRTechAdvisor @MattCharney @RecruitingBlogs)
- HR people are not data or marketing people. It’s up to the industry experts and HR technology to push HR practitioners forward. (via @JMillerMerrell @Blogging4Jobs)
- It’s about building communities and communicating with candidates in authentic ways. (via @CKapner123 @HRTechAdvisor)
- Not surprisingly, mobile, employer branding and market segmentation are shaping the recruitment industry. (via @MattCharney)
- SEM (search engine marketing) on Google is, and should be if it isn’t already, a key component to your recruitment efforts. (via @MattCharney)
- Measuring your spend is a must. This allows you to determine what is cost-effective and what isn’t. (via @Recruitics)
- Job boards are having to change their ways, moving from the “post-and-pray” models to more performance-based options. (via @MattCharney)
- The future HR is certainly going to be interesting. (via @JMillerMerrell @HRTechAdvisor @CKapner123)
