Web 2.0 Style Recruiting: RSS Feeds Your Talent Pool
Do you currently subscribe to news, sports, or blog feeds to your MyYahoo or other portal page or mail page? If yes, then you will understand the benefits for recruiting: automated candidate connections, rapid sourcing, faster time to fill.
With RSS job agents, candidates can be notified of new positions immediately as they become available. If their current search criteria come up empty, with a couple of clicks they can add a link to their personal homepage to set up a feed for new openings that match those criteria as they arise.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. With Taleo Business Edition 7.5, RSS job agents have been enabled on all careers site job search results. Today’s latest browsers including Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox can view information syndicated in this form, including readers built into Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft Office Live.
Build your proprietary candidate pool and keep it stocked with people who apply for positions that are not currently open. You can automate your connection with passive candidates. Just because your top applicant’s preferences don’t match today’s open positions, it doesn’t mean they won’t fit tomorrow. This is a powerful Web 2.0 style sourcing technique.
