Modern Recruitment: Sourcing, Employer Brand and Selection Technology

Recruitment has shifted from advertising a vacancy and waiting to actively finding people who were not looking, and the organisations that have not adjusted are competing for whoever applies. This course covers the current practice. Delegates work through employer brand and the candidate value proposition, direct sourcing through professional networks and referral, and building a talent pipeline before a vacancy exists. Applicant tracking and selection technology are covered practically, including what automated screening does to a candidate pool. The course addresses recruiting across African markets where qualification verification is difficult, and closes on measuring recruitment by quality of hire rather than time to fill.
