Candidate scarcity is bigger than ever. You’ve got to find that candidate, preferably before your competitor does, and convince him or her to sign up. But which channels should you be using? Are job boards a thing of the past? And how about Google for Jobs? Search Engine marketing? Employer branding?

Should you consider virtual meetings for a first interview or do candidates still prefer a live contact?  All these questions and many more will be answered in a complete presentation of this massive candidate survey.

Every day Jobat advisors have conversations with employers. How have their hirings been in the past? On what do they want to focus in their recruitment campaigns today? In all conversations, we notice that it is not easy to find the right tone, especially with bottleneck profiles. In order to provide information about what candidates are actually looking for, the market research agency Ipsos, commissioned by Jobat, conducted a large-scale survey among about 10,000 Dutch-speaking Belgians, active in all kinds of jobs and sectors. With the results of this study in hand, we give you an insight into the drivers of specific bottleneck profiles.

You will receive answers to the following questions:

  • Which media channels should you use if you want to recruit experienced ICT professionals?
  • Which benefits will really make caregivers happy?
  • What do engineers find important when looking for a new job?
  • What expectations do logistics talents have with regard to their employer?
  • To what extent are sales talents willing to change jobs?

The gaming business is bigger than the music and movie industry combined. Millions of highly educated youngsters watch competitive gaming on channels like Twitch. And compete against each other from behind their desks. The finals of the League of Legends world cup was watched by more people than the Superbowl. For most middle aged HR professionals, this is happening in a parallel universe they’re hardly aware of.  But a fast growing number of companies are using eSports as a way to get in touch with a massive candidate pool.
This presentation will get you up to speed with wat eSports are and what possibilities it might offer to hire your candidates and promote your employer brand.

So, you use Google Meet, Zoom or Teams? But you want to stand out from the crowd? And not by using a shabby green screen background, or a better than average cam, but really like a pro? Good idea. Now most of the candidates actually prefer having their first interview virtually, you’d better make sure you make a good first impression.
In this hands-on session, Lieven will demonstrate what you need to install a professional home studio for an amateur budget. What camera’s do you need, what virtual cam software, audio, video switchers, ….  By using virtual cam software like OBS studio or Ecamm Live, you can create professional studio effects in your virtual meetings. Using prerecorded video or picture in picture effects. Put the company’s logo in front of you in stead of behind. Or write on an ipad and make it appear like you write on the screen. It looks like magic, but it’s just a new level of recruiting in this case.

You might have a great looking jobsite; if no one finds it, it’s basically useless. Knowing that over 87% of job searchers use Google at a certain point in their search, you’d better make sure your jobs are on top of the rankings.

He will also explain how to make sure your jobsite is connected to Google for Jobs, the recently launched job search feature that gives jobs a prominent listing on top of result page.
And for those of you who hire tons of people, Frederik will explain how you can automate your Google adwords.
No technical experience needed, but if you still use a typewriter, you might wanna skip this one.
