Driving Traffic 5 (June 15, 2005) When Google and eBay join the employment marketplace, the most successful recruiting organizations will have to understand traffic development just to stay even. Unfortunately for most customers and competitors, the change will come at the same pace as the original innovations that changed the industry ten years ago. Each wave of marketplace innovation reduces the importance of the intermediary and increases the skill requirements of end users. As the tool set increases in precision, it becomes ever more important to know exactly what you want. Since the keyword "engineering" will be buried in takers, knowing what keywords to buy will be critical. Knowing how to reach your intended audience without resorting to the obvious will be essential. To date, recruiters have been able to use the job boards without really understanding the value or the data they receive. When pressed to explain how they track hires from their online recruiting efforts, not one company we've spoken with will swear that their tracking numbers are accurate. Most use inefficient methods for tracking, and continue to rely on such outdated methods as surveys of their recruiters to ask where candidates say they heard about the job opening. S alaried candidates routinely tell us in surveys that they would never admit to seeing a job on a job board, since it implies that they're actively job hunting.The process of understanding the results you are getting takes as much work as defining the results you want. Actively poring over the web traffic logs may not be anyone's notion of fun in recruiting but, in effect, all recruiting really depends on understanding and managing the web traffic logs. =====================================================
