“Recent statistics from BRMB Internet Monitor show that there are now 12 million people using the internet to find jobs in the UK alone. NORAS figures also tell us that online recruitment is increasingly successful, with 56% of online job seekers getting a job via the internet in 2007, compared with 44% in 2004. Online advertising revenues for the sector overtook those of national press in 2005 according to the Advertising Association, and are expected to overtake trade press imminently.”

Sophie Relf, Head of Marketing, totaljobsgroup.com says that the biggest changes have been led by consumers or jobseekers: “They expect the online jobseeking experience to mirror that of shopping or banking. Whereas you can track an order online, you can’t track how your job application is doing because it stops at the point that it is submitted to the recruiter. Then it’s down to individual employers to ‘engage’ with jobseekers. The better the engagement, the better the consumer/jobseeker experience. This is a far cry from web 2.0 or social media networking where would be recruits are welcomed into a virtual ‘employer branded’ world; which is pre-matched to their personality traits and squash playing prowess.”

The rise of web 2.0 and its social media capabilities is very exciting, says Armando Ruffini: “Vacancies will get more exposure, in more locations, in more niche sectors than ever before possible. Applications that tap into this shift, such as the Zubka-Jobs application on Facebook, can also drive consumer to consumer (C2C) promotion of worthwhile opportunities amongst groups of trusted contacts, outside of the hirer and recruiter involved. This has the opportunity to vastly increase the reputation, visibility and activity around a vacancy. The future of social media offers a wealth of new ways to interact with core audiences and it really is a case of keep up, or miss out. One such example is widgets – or windows onto other websites – which will be a big story in the future as consumers start to drive relevant content to their chosen destination rather than visiting the content owner. Now incorporated into all new Windows and Apple operating systems, we predict mass market penetration among internet users within 2 years.”

In a survey of employers, 20% said they had used sites such as Friends Reunited and MySpace to run searches on job applicants at some stage during the recruitment process. The sites give users the opportunity to post and share information about themselves, and an increasing number of recruiters are going online to assess the suitability of candidates and for ‘character checks.’ 68% professed to using search engines such as Yahoo! and Google, while 60% explored blogs. -
