EP213 | The evolution of the job board and what you can do to attract candidates now | Dave talks to Lee Biggins 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mEBz7HuEbHv0nVg1E0UVy?si=JXQXvKrrS9mfvT4BBHQD0g 📖 https://wave-rs.co.uk/blog/dave-talks-to-lee-biggins/ --- A mixed approach, involving a range of different candidate attraction strategies, is vital in a market where candidates are hard to find. Job boards get bashed a lot, especially when it comes to price rises, but Lee maintains that job boards are number 1 for delivering applications (something that WaveTrackR data confirms). In order to maximise your candidate attraction via job boards, speak in depth to your account manager about how you can improve performance. Investigate all of the available options and be open to understanding the value of different products such as featured jobs and programmatic. CV databases could be more cost effective if you have the time and people power to sift through them as you’ll be able to contact the candidates directly. One of the major issues affecting pricing is that corporates don’t have the resources or desire to search CVs, so they end up inflating the costs of job advertising.
