Lisa Tilt, Founder and CEOThe conventional tactic of posting job descriptions to online portals no longer works to attract top talent, according to leading recruitment marketing agency Full Tilt Consulting. The old ways don’t cut it in today’s highly competitive and evolving talent marketplace.
Full Tilt’s strategic recruitment approach is rooted in the principles of effective marketing. Businesses need to compete on the strength of a compelling brand story to stand out as an employer of choice and connect with desirable prospective candidates. According to Lisa Tilt, founder and CEO, strategic storytelling that communicates an organization’s employee value proposition (EVP) is essential for competitive recruitment and retention efforts.
“The entire candidate journey—from initial exposure to post-interview interactions, is rich with opportunities to seed the employer brand proposition, connecting with candidates and employees in ways that engender loyalty and organizational engagement,” noted Tilt.
Central to Full Tilt's philosophy is the importance of understanding organizations’ DNA and shaping their personas. Portraying companies as inclusive and desirable workplaces is a crucial aspect of recruitment marketing, parallel in importance to excellent benefits and competitive pay. By marketing an organization’s persona and highlighting its EVP through proven channels and strategies, Full Tilt helps organizations discover and tap new talent pools, thereby expanding their ability to find and attract top-tier candidates.
In the era of the most multi generational workforce in history, a successful people strategy needs to include strong, engaging narratives that communicate the value of being part of an organization and they need to resonate with everyone, from early career superstars to seasoned managers and expert individual contributors.
One of the major challenges companies contend with today is how to manage the changing demographics of the current workforce while preparing for the entry of the next generation. Gen Z has solidly established itself within the professional sphere while the oldest members of Generation Alpha will enter the hourly workforce within the next two years. This shift, coupled with fluctuations in economic conditions, compels organizations to adjust their recruitment strategies accordingly. Full Tilt addresses this challenge by customizing recruitment marketing efforts to attract candidates who have the ideal mix of skills, attitude and potential for growth.
The effectiveness of precise candidate alignment becomes clear through Full Tilt's award-winning recruitment marketing efforts. When a century-old manufacturing company faced shutdowns due to critical talent shortages, Full Tilt swiftly initiated a data-driven outreach program. This initiative optimized multiple components, ranging from brand messaging to visual content, all meticulously adjusted according to performance analytics. Within a few months, the strategic storytelling approach to employer branding facilitated the re-staffing of dormant production lines, allowing the company to resume operations and restore revenue flow
