Revolutionizing Recruitment: The Power of Career Site Conversions
In a recent episode of the High Volume Hiring Podcast, Sam Fitzroy, co-founder and CEO of Dalia, shared groundbreaking insights on how employers can significantly reduce their reliance on paid job boards by enhancing their career site conversions. With a background at Indeed and TheMuse, Fitzroy brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
The Organic vs. Paid Candidate Divide
Cohosts Jeanette Leeds and Steven Rothberg from College Recruiter delved into the stark differences in conversion rates between candidates from organic sources (like Google, Bing, and ChatGPT) and those from sponsored sources (such as Indeed, LinkedIn, and College Recruiter). The data reveals that candidates from organic sources respond more positively to engagement strategies, making them a goldmine for cost-effective hiring.
Tailoring the Candidate Experience
Dalia's research underscores the importance of customizing the approach based on the candidate's source. For instance, prompting organic candidates who are about to exit without applying can dramatically increase conversions, whereas the same strategy has minimal impact on paid candidates. This nuanced understanding allows employers to allocate resources more efficiently, focusing efforts where they yield the highest returns.
A Holistic Hiring Strategy
Fitzroy advocates for an "all of the above" strategy, combining job boards, SEO, and an optimized ATS experience. Tools like Dalia enhance the candidate journey within the ATS without compromising the recruiter's workflow, offering a seamless integration that benefits both parties.
