Digital recruiting has permanently changed the way organisations find and attract talent. Instead of relying on traditional job advertisements, more and more organisations are using digital technologies to identify suitable candidates in a targeted and efficient manner. The combination of digital recruiting and active candidate search in particular is opening up new opportunities. Many clients come to us with the question of how they can modernise and accelerate their search for skilled workers. This is exactly where iROI coaching comes in: We support companies in the implementation of digital recruiting and provide impetus for targeted, modern talent acquisition.
Digital recruiting: The new reality in recruiting
Digital recruiting means that companies use digital platforms and tools to find, contact and hire talent. This includes not only the placement of job adverts, but also the use of AI-supported matching tools, virtual interviews and automated application processes. Many companies in the IT sector, for example, use GitHub or Stack Overflow to directly contact developers. In the world of finance, banks and insurance companies also rely on social media recruiting to reach young talent. In the healthcare sector, digital assessment tools are used to check the suitability of applicants.
Another example is the use of LinkedIn Recruiter to search for experts in specific areas. Maintaining your own talent pool is also becoming increasingly important. Companies in the mechanical engineering sector, for example, are building databases of potential candidates that they can contact directly if required. This creates a long-term relationship that speeds up the recruitment process and increases the quality of applications.
Active sourcing: the targeted approach of talent
Digital recruiting and active sourcing - a strong team
Active sourcing means that recruiters actively search for suitable candidates instead of waiting for applications. This is particularly useful when it comes to rare or specialised qualifications. In the IT industry, for example, software developers with certain programming languages are approached directly. Companies in the consulting world also use active sourcing to be able to react quickly to new project requirements. In the marketing sector, creative professionals are identified and contacted via platforms such as Behance or Dribbble.
The combination of digital recruiting and active sourcing offers many advantages. Companies can search for specific skills and contact potential candidates directly. This shortens the time to hire and increases the quality of applications. Many clients report that active sourcing enables them to find suitable specialists more quickly and spend less time on pre-selection.
BEST PRACTICE with one customer (name hidden due to NDA contract) and then the example with at least 50 words.
A software development company used active sourcing to build up a pool of experts with rare machine learning expertise. Regular contact and targeted updates kept the talent engaged. As a result, several key positions were successfully filled within a few months. The direct approach and maintenance of the relationship were crucial for success.
Practical tips for getting started with digital recruiting
How to get started with digital recruiting
Start with a clear analysis of your requirements. Define the required skills and the desired corporate culture. Use digital tools such as applicant tracking systems to structure the application process. In the IT sector, many companies rely on automated screening tools to check the suitability of applicants. Digital platforms are also used in the logistics industry to find drivers and logistics experts. In the healthcare sector, online assessments are used to test applicants' skills.
Make sure you have an appealing job description that is tailored to the target group. Use keywords that potential candidates enter into search engines. In the financial sector, for example, terms such as „financial analysis“ or „risk management“ are frequently searched for. Specific terms such as „graphic design“ or „content creation“ are also important in the creative industry. This will increase the visibility of your job adverts and reach more suitable applicants.
