Lockdown lasted a long while here in Oz and finding myself stuck inside the house with so much time on my hands was certainly challenging. Besides listening to a ton of books on Audible to engage my mind and spending some well-needed quality time with the pooch, I found a few new interests. One of these developing interests was marketing; specifically the part it plays alongside recruitment in the overall outward image of businesses. Should marketing be a part of your recruitment strategy, or should recruitment be a part of your marketing strategy? Or both? This all culminated in me actually undertaking a marketing course for recruitment leaders, through the guys at Hoxo Media (Sean Anderson) which was eye-opening to say the least. As someone looking to grow my own business, as well as consulting with clients as to how to grow theirs, I found some key takeaways which I thought would be helpful to put down in writing &ndash; for whether you&rsquo;re a recruitment company, tech start-up, large corporate or otherwise. How you attract and moreover engage talent should form a large part of your marketing strategy. When it comes to hiring, we&rsquo;ve moved far away from the typical model of posting a job online and waiting for applications to come flying in. Yes, that still happens, but an outdated approach to recruitment could speak of an outdated approach&hellip; Period. The industry&rsquo;s top talent &ndash; whatever your industry maybe &ndash; isn&rsquo;t doing things the old school way, and they won&rsquo;t want to work for a business who are. They&rsquo;ve gotten to the top of their game by innovating; by bringing new ideas to the table. So, thinking seriously about how you go about trying to attract these very people couldn&rsquo;t be more important &ndash; including considering every piece of collateral you put out there, from your job ads to LinkedIn posts, social feed and more. It&rsquo;s as much about the process as it is the initial engagement. You could have the best-written job adverts in the world &ndash; but follow up with a shoddy candidate management process and you&rsquo;re going to lose all of that initial buy-in. The way you follow up with candidates, respond to their enquiries, and generally communicate with them &ndash; in terms of frequency, speed and manner &ndash; should be an extension of how you do business as an organisation. Are you consistently reliable? Professional? Friendly? Transparent? Does HR have the time to commit to making sure every candidate, whether successful or not, gets the absolute best from each communication? Having excellent talent engagement strategies in the form of job ads and outreach means nothing if the follow up is poor, much like conducting a fantastic lead generation campaign with no funnel or process to convert. Could your recruitment process be diluting your brand? As a business leader, everyone we speak to forms at least a small part of our marketing strategy &ndash; clients, suppliers, even family and friends. By using multiple agencies and partnering with the masses to undertake your recruitment campaigns, you lose a certain amount of control about what they might be saying, to whom, and how. Is each agency portraying your values accurately? Do they embody your brand in every communication they have, with each candidate they&rsquo;re working with? Do they represent your business well in everything they do? All of the above is why it&rsquo;s key to partner with only a small number of select agencies &ndash; those who take the time to build a relationship and understand who you are, how your business operates and what&rsquo;s important. After all, it&rsquo;s your name they&rsquo;ll be saying &ndash; make sure you trust that they&rsquo;ll do justice by your brand. Employee engagement is a fundamental tool in talent attraction moving forwards. Just like the suppliers you use to recruit, each and every employee plays a part in your marketing strategy as well &ndash; or they certainly should be doing. What do they tell their friends, their network, about what it&rsquo;s like to work for you? For years now the employee referral trend has been building; if it&rsquo;s not something your organisation has experienced much of yet, it&rsquo;s time to wonder why. Treat your employees well, engage with them and earn their loyalty, and watch as they become your biggest advocates &ndash; not to mention an amazing source of fresh talent. More than ever, it&rsquo;s important for businesses to have their marketing, HR teams and people at large working closely to establish the messaging you want to go to market with. And it&rsquo;s our awareness of all this which makes our clients so happy to use us continually, often as a sole agency, when it comes to filling roles. Here at Certus we do more than just your bog-standard recruitment. Talk to us today about how to transform your talent acquisition marketing strategy and recruitment process ready for the new year.

Recruitment: A Crucial Piece of Your Overall Marketing Strategy

​The world is fast becoming a place where people, not just corporations have a brand to nurture, maintain and build. It could be said that people are in fact much better at building their own&ldquo;Personal PR&rdquo;than companies who pay marketing leaders huge salaries to do it for them. So why has personal branding become so important? With the rise of social media,your online reputation can be your biggest asset,especially to gain a competitive edge. Companies nowadays often hire based on information found about you online, rather than your CV or experience. So, if you&rsquo;re looking to grow your own business, nab your dream job or just take your career in the right direction, personal branding is the ultimate requirement.
​
Your brand should be an outward reflection of who you are and who you want to be. It should reflect what you want to accomplish, the path you currently are on and where you want to go.Your brand is a strategic outward expression in wordsand pictures of your purpose, and helps you communicate what you can contribute to your future employer.A negative online presence can impact on your employ-ability.
​
When building your online presence, think about your&ldquo;brand persona&rdquo;;are you creative innovator or an industry leader or a niche expert? Use a variety of social media outlets to share your persona via examples of your work, your blogs and your successes. Become anactive member of relevant groups and network with the right connections.Avoid uploading anything that may be a negative reflection of you, such as pictures on nights out and steer clear of using offensive language when replying to comments. Most importantly, always make sure to align your brand persona with yourself; don&rsquo;t hide your true self because maintaining a fake image will not serve your values or goals and will become a difficult chore.
​
Huffington post recently released statistics around how employers use and value online information about potential new recruits. It revealed that 75% of HR departments reported that they are required by company policy to check information online; 90% of recruitment agents said they conduct online research regardless; a total of 85% of recruitment agents and HR professionals said that an employee&rsquo;s online presence affects their decision to hire to some extent, with 50% saying that a strong presence influences their decision to great extent and across both HR departments and recruitment agents,75% have rejected candidates based on information found online.
​
Successful companies not only want stand-out employees, they want employees that get involved in the marketing and branding strategy by sharing branding messages onto their own platforms.Individual&rsquo;s brands and pages are more powerful than corporations, with individuals having 561% more reach when sharing messages than the company they work for. Further, employees on average have 10 times more followers than their company social media and brand messages are shared 24 times more frequently when posted by an employee versus the company&rsquo;s social media channels. Not only will this increase a company&rsquo;s outreach, but will help them gain more trust and creditability because people are more likely to trust people more than corporations and they want to engage with people more than corporations.
​
So use your online presence as a springboard to highlight your skills and make youstand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.Employers don&rsquo;t want to &ldquo;catch you out&rdquo; they just want an insight into the person they are employing, so ensure that insight is one that they want to spend more time exploring.

The Power of Personal Branding Today

​The marketing industry has been around for almost as long as humans. People have always wanted to buy and sell from each other, and for years savvy marketers have been leveraging the latest trends to convince them to do just that. 
Today, the global marketing sector is diverse, and growing. With creative industries generating billions every year for the economy alone, and&nbsp;<a href="https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-marketing/growth-in-uk-firms-marketing-budgets-slowest-since-start-of-2016-idUKKBN1HO3FA">22.9% of companies</a>&nbsp;across the business landscape having increased their marketing budgets since last year, it&rsquo;s clear that the future is bright for this dynamic and exciting sector.&nbsp; 
However, as consumer habits shift, marketers have had to adapt to keep up. The rise of the Internet, and the digital space, is impacting marketing in new and interesting ways. With the rate of change showing no sign of slowing down any time soon, the biggest question now is: where is marketing headed, and what does it mean for the millions of professionals who work within the sector? 
Getting smarter with AI 
The advent of the Internet brought about perhaps the biggest change in the marketing industry, but that happened years ago. Today, it&rsquo;s AI which is causing the biggest splash. Present on our smartphones, in our banks and on our computers, AI is already a part of our daily lives, and marketing is scrambling to keep up. Indeed,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/306162">58% of Chief Marketing Officers</a>&nbsp;worldwide believe that companies will have to use AI to compete for business if they want to succeed within the next five years.&nbsp; 
AI-driven marketing is already changing everything from the way in which marketers target consumers to the channels on which they do it. With smarter technology at their fingertips, professionals have access to huge amounts of data on customer behaviour, which they can leverage to gain more accurate insights on their target audiences. Marketers can then target customers more efficiently, using this data to get the right message to the right audience at the right time to encourage engagement. They can even measure the effectiveness of certain channels- for instance, email marketing- over that of billboard campaigns, and adjust their spending accordingly to ensure they have maximum impact. 
It&rsquo;s not just data that AI can help with, either: companies are also turning to automation to speed up their internal processes. This allows them to run routine tasks in a matter of seconds, freeing up valuable time to spend on clients, or on innovating their client offering. In the world of AI, being smart is the key to doing better, and digital marketing is definitely improving efficiency, giving rise to a demand for data analysts and software engineers which is only going to grow as this takes off. 
Getting dynamic&nbsp; 
How many channels do today&rsquo;s marketers use to communicate with their target audience? In the fast-moving digital world, integrated digital campaigns that maintain consistent messaging across multiple channels is key to success. Today&rsquo;s customers are discerning: with a wealth of data at their fingertips, they can flick past today&rsquo;s adverts just as easily as click on them.&nbsp; 
To attract these people, marketers are adopting a much more personalised and dynamic approach to the way in which they convince consumers to buy their products.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.smartinsights.com/customer-engagement/customer-engagement-strategy/customer-experience-research-statistics/">64% of millennials</a>&nbsp;value &lsquo;the anticipation and customisation&rsquo; of their user experience over privacy concerns, and with the insights gathered from analytics, companies can target their audience via Google or Facebook ads that are tailored specifically to their user interests.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescommunicationscouncil/2018/06/14/digital-marketing-trends-in-an-era-of-constant-change/#5e3b3f6d6f57">Persona-based marketing</a>&nbsp;is now being applied to target people more smartly than ever before, with more accuracy thanks to better software and social media platforms.&nbsp; 
On top of this, the demands of running a digital campaign across multiple channels have given rise to an increased interest in the user journey. Digital marketers cannot work in silos any more: now, the brand message needs to be unified, and driven entirely by audience behaviour and browsing history, so the right message can be shown at the right time to entice the user to click. Backed up by dynamic content and videos that can be shared across social media, and the result is a marketing strategy that is sure to entice today&rsquo;s fast-swiping users. 
Looking to the future 
People who want to stay ahead in the market need to look to the future to keep up with the changes that digital technology is throwing their way.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2017/12/20/the-future-digital-marketing-predictions-2018">55% of teens and 40% of adults</a>&nbsp;use voice search, and many people are predicting that it will become a mainstream trend in the future, having an impact on keyword research and likely increasing the demand for SEO experts in the industry.&nbsp; 
At the same time, video is likely to become even more important as a shareable item on social media and as an engaging, stand-out piece of content in a sometimes-crowded online space. Live video in particular is being touted as the next marketing tool, and with Facebook reporting that it was seeing triple the watch time on live videos than curated ones, it&rsquo;s clear that its popularity is only going to grow. 
One thing&rsquo;s for sure: in an environment where digital is fast becoming king, the need for digitally-savvy marketers, and those specialising in social media and SEO, will soon become the next sought-after jobs.
