Online recruitment is often hailed as a convenient, efficient and cost-effective method for expanding teams. However, anyone who has managed the recruitment process on LinkedIn knows that it’s not always as simple as it seems.

Here are 5 ways that online recruitment may be failing your organisation, and how our new service – THRIVE – unlocks the potential of effective PR and communications LinkedIn recruitment.

1.  Not Attracting the Best Talent

While online platforms reach a large audience, the candidates you want (and need) might not be applying. Thrive’s team of talent search experts craft job posts that appeal directly to the talent you seek.

2.  Overlooking Super-Star Applicants

Due to the sheer volume of applications, estimates show that employers spend between 6 to 11 seconds skimming CVs, leading to high-potential talent being passed over. With 25+ years of specialist PR and comms recruitment, Thrive can quickly discern quality CVs from the rest.

3.  Ignoring External Stakeholders

For many candidates, applying for jobs through LinkedIn is akin to sending their CV into a ‘black hole’. Ghosting candidates can harm your brand reputation, with the impact potentially lasting years. Thrive responds to each and every applicant, irrespective of whether or not they are hired for role.

4.  Missing Opportunities to Enhance Your Employer Reputation

A good recruitment experience can elevate your reputation as a top employer. With strategic content and active engagement, Thrive can help elevate your company’s image and build a positive employer brand on LinkedIn, making you an employer to seek out, rather than avoid.

5.  Overwhelming Your Talent Acquisition Team

Expecting your talent acquisition team to comb through hundreds of ineligible CVs, will not set them (or you) up for success. Thrive alleviates the burden of online recruitment, allowing you and your team to focus on best candidates.
