Roadblocks to Innovative Recruiting
Possible in any corporate environment

• “We’ve always done it this way” mentality
• Office politics
• Budget concerns
• Other important issues or interests
• No support from leadership
• The idea may be hard to understand
• Regulated industry or process
• Lack of legal consent and/or IT support
• The innovator isn’t valued
Lesson Learned #1
“The Things We Think and Do Not
Say” should not be said all at once.




             @JennyDeVaughn #RIS11
Lesson Learned #1
“The Things We Think and Do Not Say” should not be said all at once.

 • This is a career limiting move (CLM)
   • Via Nick Jimenez aka @NickyJay
 • Conservative work environments do not react well
   to large midlife-crisis self-imposed changes
 • Focus on smaller changes with priorities based on
   revenue and results

 Result:
 • Participate on a WM Social Media Council with
   other leadership for approval of new projects
                        @JennyDeVaughn #RIS11
Lesson Learned #2
Explore innovative recruiting
services from vendors already
approved into your budget.
Lesson Learned #2
Explore current vendor innovative recruiting services.

 • Familiar external partners make it easier to get
   your current and future budget approved
 • Get more than a quote from an external resource
   • Discuss your desired result and ask for their solution
 • Give your leadership two solutions to choose from
   that will provide preferred outcomes

 Result:
 • Partnered with Monster.com on our first WM
   Careers videos, as a part of their services offered

             @JennyDeVaughn #RIS11
Lesson Learned #6
When you fail, resist complaining and adjust your strategy or tactic.

 • Other corporate departments are allowed to fail
   • Think prototype, pilot or trial

   integrate

   30-60-90 benchmarks

 Result:
 • Monitored analytics of year-to-date recruitment
   marketing spend to dismiss myths
                         @JennyDeVaughn #RIS11
