Why online recruitment? Three main reasons

That it is no longer common to post your vacancies in a newspaper, but also online, will not be news to anyone. Every company knows by now that online is an indispensable channel in the search for new, high-quality staff. Online recruitment However, it means more than just posting your vacancy on a website. Good online recruitment consists of a well-considered mix of different forms and channels with which your vacancies are brought to the attention and are distributed.

This way you can let your vacancies be part of your company branding on platforms like Instagram and Twitter. But also Facebook and of course LinkedIn are true platforms online recruitment is the order of the day. Why would you participate as an entrepreneur? Isn't it just a hassle, such an online recruitment campaign? We are happy to convince you on the basis of three valid arguments.

1. With online recruitment you have control

The 'old' way of recruiting staff more or less comes down to posting your vacancy and then just waiting to see if you get any responses. A good online recruitment strategy offers you and your company much more control over your recruitment process. You can focus much more on your desired target group (think of the excellent filtering options on LinkedIn!) And you can immediately see the reach of your recruitment campaign on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. You can respond to that. If you are lucky, you will also receive a lot of feedback and other responses to your vacancies. That brings us to argument two:

2. You can continuously adjust and improve

The best thing about online recruiting is the constant flow of interaction with your target group. Your potential candidates will let you know what they think of your brand or company and give their opinion about your vacancy. Then of course it is so sympathetic to also start a conversation with the respondents! So make sure that you actively participate in the interaction. The best thing that can happen: people you don't know will proactively bring your vacancies to the attention of their acquaintances who, according to them, fit the job well. This way you can make optimal use of someone else's network, there is no better way!

3. You will find the person you are looking for faster online

No entrepreneur is happy with vacancies. You prefer to have them all completed as quickly as possible. When you shift your recruitment to online channels as much as possible, you will really experience how quickly you can make meters. Not only the placement, maintenance and removal of vacancies happened in no time; the entire process of registration procedures and publication times becomes much more dynamic and therefore faster. If your company is quickly accessible online, the threshold to apply for potential candidates is also much lower and faster. Such an application (or question about a vacancy) will sooner end up with the right person and you can also provide a good reply faster. As you can see, the empty desk is simply staffed much quicker.
