There’s a lot of Recruitment Marketing strategy that goes into driving qualified talent to apply for your company’s open jobs. Candidates must become aware of your employer brand, consider what it’s like to work at your organization and be open to hearing about your career opportunities. Knowing your Recruitment Marketing funnel — from Awareness to Consideration to Apply — is an important way to view your talent attraction strategy, yet applicant tracking systems (ATS) typically start at the Apply stage.
So we’re excited to announce a new way to see your Recruitment Marketing funnel using our analytics & benchmarking tool, Rally® Inside™!
What is a Recruitment Marketing funnel, and how is it different from a recruiting funnel?
A recruiting funnel reports how many candidates your company has at each stage of the recruiting process, typically aligned with your ATS stages: Applications, Screens, Interviews, Offers and Hires.
In comparison, a Recruitment Marketing funnel shows where the calls to action (CTAs) of your campaigns and content are focused: Awareness (top of the funnel), Consideration (middle of the funnel) or Apply (bottom of the “marketing” funnel).
Now, Rally Inside analyzes your Recruitment Marketing strategy and visualizes your Recruitment Marketing funnel so that you can see how much of your strategy is going into building awareness and consideration, versus sending candidates to view your jobs.
If you’re putting effort into building awareness and consideration, you’ll see if those strategies are effective at driving candidate engagement.
As you’re successful at increasing candidate engagement, you can correlate that to apply rates during the same time period.
