Why is recruitment marketing important for your organization?
A head hunter's job is to actively look for candidates who will add to the organizational culture of a company through their skills, background, and personality. With a strong recruitment marketing strategy, top quality candidates will come to you rather than you having to seek them out. This reduces your time-to-fill, improves the quality of your hires, and helps prevent candidate drop-off.
The more you build your employer brand, engage with passive job seekers, and create a smooth candidate experience, the better your employee retention will be. Every new hire's journey with your organization or your client will start off on the right foot.

Recruiting vs recruitment marketing?
Even though recruiting and recruitment marketing seem similar, they address different sides of the same coin. Recruiting is about attracting candidates to specific jobs while recruitment marketing is about attracting talent to specific employers.
A recruiter might use recruitment advertising channels, like job boards or social media, to incentivize candidates to apply for job vacancies. Creating a recruitment marketing strategy involves developing an array of employer brand content that generates awareness, attracts followers, and captures leads in the form of engaged, high-quality candidates. These candidates, after becoming full employees, are more likely to refer better-suited job seekers to your organization because of the great candidate experience they had during the application process.
Improve the hiring process
Investing in recruitment marketing can give your company a competitive advantage and help you hire top talent faster, cutting the costs associated with a long hiring process.
