Most career sites are designed to reach people who
already want to apply. Then, they are augmented with
ads, job boards and social media for lead generation.
By focusing on just the top and bottom of the funnel,
most talent acquisition strategies amount to “make
them aware of jobs and then let them apply.”
This strategy might work for entry-level jobs, but you
aren’t going to hire your next Sales Director or VP of
Operations from a tweet or a job board posting. You
need to have engaging material at every stage,
persuading passive candidates to become active and
move them one step closer to applying.
