"A lot has been written about employee referral programs... more information than any single organization to practically put into practice. It's difficult to know where to start making changes without understanding how a referral program works as a whole. [W]e've condensed our own experience... and refined the essence of what makes a great referral program into five actionable elements: Objectives; Incentives; Education; Communication; Technology" -- from Introduction.

If you want your business to grow, you need to be able to rely on your ability to hire talent reliably and consistently. No talent pipeline? No growth, and no business. But your recruiting team is drowning (I asked them). They need help. Now, if you ask recruiters, they will ask for headcount. Or more technology. But more bodies and more tools won't solve the issue (though it will eat up your budget). What you need a is a better strategy. And that strategy is called employer branding.Employer branding is about understanding, distilling and communicating what your company is all about in order to attract all the talent you need. That will differentiate your company as a place where people will want to work, rather than a place they land because they didn't know better.If you've heard about employer branding in business magazines, it might seem like something only "big companies" can do. Something that requires a dedicated team, expensive platforms, or a bunch of consultants. That isn't true. If you understand where your brand comes from, and how to apply it, any company (especially yours) can hire better with it.And this book will teach you how to do all of that, and then some.In this book, you'll learn what employer branding really is, how to make a compelling argument internally to leadership that creates commitment, how to work with other teams and be creative in finding solutions. As a special bonus, we are including a handbook on how to work with recruiting teams. This hands-on workbook is chock full of examples, checklists, step-by-step instructions and even emails you can copy and paste to make things happen immediately.

You'll learn the skills necessary to do RecOps and discover the importance of mission, vision, and strategy in setting the stage for transformation.

There is talent out there. Good talent. Talent you desperately want to hire but, guess what? They are hiding from you, do not have their resumes posted online or are rarely open to new opportunities. So, how do you reach people like that? You get them to come to you. How? Content. That's what this book is about. In this follow-up to his book, "Resume Forensics," Jim Stroud discusses a marketing approach to sourcing passive candidates. Although boolean search string and keyword strategies are explored, this piece delves more into attracting candidates via a psychology and personalization methodology. SOME OF THE IDEAS AND STRATEGIES INCLUDED IN THIS WORK ARE: # Content is the new sourcing and that is good for recruiting. # Content is the new sourcing and that is bad for recruiting. # Some people do not want to be found by recruiters and here is the proof. # How to attract the people you want to hire while outfoxing your competition at the same time. # How to find quality content to share with your audience # Lots and lots of strategies for developing content when you don't have the time to do so # How to gauge your employment brand # How to monitor your competition's employment brand # How to make your sourcing team more efficient # How to engage passive candidates so they'll call you back # What to do with the people you do not hire RECRUITERS & SOURCERS: If you search for talent that is online, you risk bombarding the same candidates your competition is trying to recruit. However, if you can manage to lure them to you then there is less competition and you are speaking to those you most want to hire. TALENT ACQUISITION MANAGERS: If your recruiting team is solely focused on reacting to the needs of your clients, you are missing out on the "A" players trying their best to ignore you. The strategies herein make a compelling argument on why a proactive strategy is best for long-term and continued recruitment success. HR LEADERSHIP: Sourcing is not wholly separate from marketing. Ideally, it is an extension of it. Read this book and see why you should be marrying the recruitment function to your marketing team. Implement the ideas herein and gain a strategic advantage over your business rivals.
Employee selection has long stood at the practical forefront of industrial/organizational psychology. Today's social, business, and economic climates require ongoing adaptations by those who select organizations' personnel, and research on the topic helps gauge the impact of these adaptations and their implications for human performance and potential. The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection codifies the wealth of new research surrounding employee selection (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization of organizations), situating them alongside more traditional practices to establish the best and most relevant research for both professionals and academics. Comprising chapters from authors in both the private sector and academia, this volume is organized into seven parts: (1) historical and social context of the field of assessment and selection; (2) research strategies; (3) individual difference constructs that underlie effective performance; (4) measures of predictor constructs; (5) employee performance and outcome assessment; (6) societal and organizational constraints on selection practice; and (7) implementation and sustainability of selection systems. While providing a comprehensive review of current research and practice, the purpose of this handbook is to provide an up-to-date profile of each of the areas addressed and highlight current questions that deserve additional attention from researchers and practitioners. This compendium is essential reading for industrial/organizational psychologists and human resource managers.
