An Employee Referral Program is a great way for you to find job candidates in a rough economy. You have to balance your efforts, but ERPs can be very effective if used wisely.
Word-of-mouth marketing is important to sell a product and the same thing goes recruiting solid job candidates. People will trust their peers and go to a company because of the excitement of working with talented peers they associate with.
With the challenge of a bad market you need to use employees to help save you money that you would have spent on head hunters or some external recruiting source. They can make all the difference in saving you the necessary money.
As a company working together to find candidates you will always find more solid candidates at an exponential rate, compared to just a recruiting department working hard. The truth is that a peer in your corporation is a better resource on a potential job, than a biased recruiter.
You need to use your time wisely with ERP and make sure that your employees are using their time effectively. If you overuse them then you are going to take away from their work. Also it could cause frustration and backfire on your employees and candidates.
It is important to use web 2.0, social media, and other forms of interactive online media like IM chatting or RSS feeds to connect to your candidates. This can be huge for job candidates because they get to put a trusted face now to a large corporation.
I suggest getting micro sites or niche sites for your employees so that way you can leverage their ability and save their time. They need to be well branded and able to optimize with some form of SEO or SEM.
I suggest that you use EnticeLabs and their product TalentSeekr because they are able to brand your job positions well and market well across the web. This can make a huge difference in leveraging your ERP campaign. - 16651
