What Do Recruiters want?
What Do Recruiters want?
Some amazing findings already one week into the release of this survey request. 800 or so of you have completed this already, so if you have not yet contributed, pleased take a moment and do it today before your week starts - you get aggregated results upon submission - and it will be massive value for everyone if we better understood how we recruiters evaluate job opportunities, for recruiters.

6 Job Quality Metrics Every Company Should Know
6 Job Quality Metrics Every Company Should Know
In line with our own survey above, the shortage of candidates has generated a widespread interest in trying to figure out what ‘quality jobs’ really are. This post zooms out to look at what metrics to use as a baseline for quality. The bar is low - a living wage - but a decent exercise for us to figure out how many of jobs at this level are created in our organisations.

Swedish Armed Forces Who cares?
How do you identify hidden characteristics that you ideally want in job candidates? For the Swedish Armed Forces, selflessness was one such, and they conducted a fascinating social experiment to identify those who might qualify. Also a superb piece of employer branding. H/TJim Berrisford

‘Recruiters’ but we were not listed (do we not get married? are we not people?), so the best thing I could was search for ‘human resource manager’ who turned out to mainly marry other human resource managers….. fun tool.

Personal User Manual
Personal User Manual
Steph Smith is one of those people I think I am going to say ‘I knew before she was famous’. She is kind of already famous these days, as she is forging a path on content creation / inbound marketing / audience building with a clarity of vision very few can match. Her twitter is a must follow and her projects - such as this awesome ‘User Manual’ - are always worthwhile to explore.
This post is in brainfood because I think we should all do user manuals.

This post, where he attempts to identify potential opportunities for new startups in this new space, ends up being a pretty comprehensive overview of the whole creator economy.

What if Performance Advertising is Just an Analytics Scam?
What if Performance Advertising is Just an Analytics Scam?
Genius insight on why ad tracking gives you correlation but not causation. It’s got to work differently in job advertising where discovery is the main value, but perhaps not for employer branding related efforts in marketing. Worth chewing over for anyone who posts ads, has a job which drives web traffic, or wants to build brand.

This is the sort of job that no one would ever think would exist, but as we increasingly spend more time in fictional worlds, we’re going to need curators for the universe.

End notes
Going to be in sunny (please be sunny..) Whitstable this week, where I’ll be attending the RL100 Summit put on by our buddies The Recruitment Events Co. It should be a great few days of intensive ‘lock in’ type conversations with some of the smartest minds in TA in the UK. Come up and say hello if you’re going!
On other matters, I think it is Halloween this week, so here are some spooky Halloween tik toks to get you in the mood. DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you got any more.
Have a great week everybody.
