What is a recruiting strategy?

A recruiting strategy is a systematic and strategic plan designed by a company. The recruiting strategy is developed to identify, attract, hire and retain qualified talent for open positions. Such a recruiting strategy includes numerous measures and activities to attract the right candidates and motivate them to apply.

A targeted recruiting strategy is not just about identifying the target group you are looking for and strengthening your employer brand. It also focuses on developing a structured, transparent application process, improving the candidate experience and measuring and analyzing key performance indicators. Current recruiting trends are also taken into account, which can, for example, increase diversity efforts in the recruiting strategy.

How recruiting strategies become effective

Many recruitment efforts sound sensible in theory, but fall short and fail in practice as a result. Here are some essential elements that your recruiting strategy should contain in order to be effective.

Target group analysis

A tailor-made recruiting strategy should start with a precise analysis of your target group. This is where you identify which skills, experience and characteristics the best candidates should possess. In talentefinder, you can use the search and filter functions to find talent that matches your requirements profile.

Employer branding

Building an attractive employer brand that appeals to potential applicants and sets you apart from other companies is the core of any recruiting strategy. This lays the foundation for attracting suitable talent to your company. The "employment value proposition" can be particularly effective here. This is a form of communication that focuses on the benefits and incentives that the company offers to attract and retain talented candidates.

Efficient application processes

Target the simplification of your application process in the long term of your recruiting strategy. Create a structured system for tracking applicants, formulate clear guidelines for evaluating candidates and publish tailored job advertisements. Mobile application channels such as talentefinder can improve the accessibility of application procedures and shorten the entire process.

Transparency and clear communication

Help your recruiting strategy succeed with transparent communication: Applicants should receive clear information about the process, the requirements of the position and the status of their application. The chat and call function of talentefinder simplifies direct communication considerably.

Candidate experience & feedback

Another key goal of your recruiting strategy should be to ensure a positive candidate experience. The candidate experience should be positive regardless of the outcome of the application process and thus strengthen the company's image. By giving applicants prompt feedback, you can express your appreciation and improve your company's reputation - transparent communication pays off.

Measurement, analysis and continuous adjustment

Recruiting strategies are not static, but extremely dynamic. Stay flexible and adapt your recruiting strategy to changing market conditions, trends and technologies. To ensure that your efforts can meet the ever-changing demands of the job market, you should define and measure key performance indicators. Regular analysis of these KPIs and feedback loops in the recruiting process help to identify weaknesses and make improvements.

Further training

The dynamic nature of recruiting strategies requires you to regularly train your employees and familiarize them with the latest trends and tools. Training can be used not only to promote the use of technology in the application process. They can also focus on your company ethics: For example, more and more companies are making active efforts to improve their candidate variety and inclusion of diverse people. Accordingly, training on diversity and inclusion in recruitment strategies continues to increase.

Audi shows how it's done: Embedding diversity & inclusion in the recruiting strategy

The car manufacturer Audi is committed to greater diversity and inclusion within the company in its "Diversity Management" unit. The diversity strategy ranges from KPI analysis and training to the reformation of HR processes and numerous New Work projects. It is not only about diversity in age and gender, but also in ethnicity, sexual orientation and much more.

Audi's diversity and inclusion efforts in its recruitment strategy mean that the company is more likely to meet the needs of its potential talent pool. After all, according to a Stepstone study from 2020, 77% of respondents say they are more likely to apply to companies that they perceive as open, tolerant and diverse. Audi has therefore not only improved its employer branding through diversity recruiting, but has also been able to reach new talent.

The basics of goal setting

The specific objectives of a recruiting strategy vary depending on a company's priorities and challenges. Usually, several goals are pursued in parallel. Talent acquisition is the core objective of any recruiting strategy - after all, the aim is to attract highly qualified talent to the company. However, objectives can also be pursued that tend to reduce the application process itself. For example, the aim of the recruiting strategy can be to shorten the time-to-hire, reduce the costs of the selection process or improve the quality of incoming applications. Other possible goals include increasing the diversity of candidates (diversity recruiting), improving the employer brand or increasing employee retention. Improving the onboarding process for new employees can also be a goal of a recruiting strategy.

FACTS, FIGURES AND DATA

Measuring success in recruiting

If you set goals, you should also check whether they are being achieved. This is the only way to continuously improve recruiting strategies. Possible KPIs for measuring success include the number of applications received and candidates hired, the time elapsed from initial contact to hiring, the costs of the recruiting strategy and much more. Of course, the measurement of success must always be adapted to the company's individual objectives.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Recruiting strategies:
The most important trends

With the right recruiting strategy, you can communicate your company's messages in a targeted manner and appeal to the candidates who are best suited to you. A tailor-made recruiting strategy can therefore not only increase your company's productivity, but also positively influence the satisfaction of your employees and their identification with the company.

Recruiting trends influence the way companies approach, evaluate and hire talent. In order to remain competitive and develop a tailor-made recruiting strategy for your own company, an understanding of these trends is essential. 

The following developments in particular have emerged in recent years:

Candidate-centered approach

In their recruiting strategy, companies are increasingly focusing on a positive applicant experience for candidates. In practical terms, this means a personalized approach, transparency in the application process and quick responses to applications. talentefinder enables direct interaction between companies and talents, which can demonstrably improve the candidate experience.

Technology in recruiting

The constant growth of new technologies is also evident in recruiting strategies: AI, data analysis, automation and applicant tracking systems are increasingly being used to make the recruiting process more efficient. Chatbots can now even be used for the initial contact with applicants, while AI-supported screening tools help to improve the selection process. talentefinder also works with intelligent algorithms to increase the accuracy of the talent displayed.

Remote recruiting & work

The ability to work from home has become an important factor for employees in recent years. For this reason, companies are adapting their recruiting strategies and trying to create opportunities for remote working to attract the right candidates. As a mobile recruiting app, talentefinder is taking an important step towards remote recruiting.

Employer branding & social media

Strengthening the corporate brand is a key element of successful recruiting strategies. Accordingly, employers increasingly invest in their brand and use social media to present their culture, values and working environments. On talentefinder, the self-designed company profile is a key element when it comes to employer branding in the recruiting strategy.

Diversity & inclusion

Diversity and inclusion issues are attracting more and more social attention. It is not surprisingly that this trend reversal is also reflected in recruiting strategies. There is a growing focus on diverse teams as well as diversity and inclusion in recruiting. Companies are increasingly focusing on recruitment measures to improve their diversity and create an inclusive working environment. talentefinder is also doing everything it can to create equality and fairness in the job app.

Skills-based recruiting

Companies are increasingly focusing on the skills and potential of candidates rather than traditional qualifications. In recruiting strategies, this means taking greater account of skills that talents have acquired through projects, internships or other practical experience. It is no coincidence that talentefinder also focuses on skill-based qualifications in the talent profiles. 

Employee advocacy

Employees are increasingly being used as ambassadors for their company in order to approach and attract potential candidates. Employee referral programs are therefore often further expanded in recruiting strategies and provided with various rewards.

GO GREEN - WITH TALENTEFINDER

How can green recruiting be implemented in practice?

Green recruiting refers to a recruiting strategy that integrates environmental awareness and sustainability into the recruitment process. Companies that use green recruiting incorporate environmental goals into their recruitment and hiring practices. Sustainability can become a criterion in the selection process if companies pay attention to their applicants' affinity for environmental issues or their experience with environmentally related projects. 

However, green recruiting strategies are usually not only reflected in the design of the application process, but also in the daily business of companies. Sustainable employer practices (e.g. reduction of paper consumption or the use of renewable energy sources) and the communication of environmental values are promoted. The introduction of flexible working models such as remote working can also contribute to environmental protection by reducing commuting. 

As a mobile recruiting app, talentefinder is an efficient tool in green recruiting strategies. On the one hand, the digital exchange at eye level can prevent unnecessary paper traffic. On the other hand, job interviews that would normally involve a long journey can simply be moved to talentefinder's video meeting rooms.
