Online marketing is essential during a down economy and something you have to use as a recruiter if you want to have a future. If you use this it will make all the difference in your personal brand and your company brand.
One of the first things you have to do is build a CRM pipeline. It becomes so important to aggressively gather names through many different online methods such as networking on social media sites, using LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, Search Engines, and other methods that can net more names.
Once you start to collect names make sure that your company has a solid CRM in place like Salesforce or Sugar. It will take some time to get out of the funk of this economy, but while this is happening you are building a funnel that will produce great results. When times turn around your ideal candidates will be already connected to you and quick to hire.
I suggest that you look to cut your recruitment advertising in half if you can if it isn't online. Start investing into a small talent site to gather your ideal candidates to it. You can create a community with info on jobs, interview preparation, and a good place for candidates to interact with each other.
Put in information that they will truly find valuable as if you were searching for a job and desperate to feed your family. It might not be that bad, but people are nervous and you have to be a voice of reason during challenging times.
You should use some form of SEO and SEM to have a fine balance for your site so you can have short term and long term traffic. This will be key to understanding numerous methods so no matter what happens, you have diversity when it comes to direction of traffic.
What makes this great is not only are you learning a skill that allows for you to be independent, but on top of that you get to find new relationships and create a better you. You can truly brand yourself more than just an annoying recruiter that contacts people over and over again.
Start using online techniques now before you get too far behind. If it is too much of a challenge then go use a company like Entice Labs or Jobs2Web for help on online marketing. - 16463
