If you LIKE our Facebook page now then you automatically have a chance to win a copy of the book ‘Recruitment via LinkedIn’ (international edition). Click on LIKE or go to http://www.facebook.com/GlobalRecruiting. The deadline is Saturday, June 30, 2012 so act quick! Recruitment via LinkedIn is a practical and efficient guide aimed at HR professionals, recruiters and employer branding specialists wishing to deploy LinkedIn as a successful recruitment channel. In this report, Broadbean (a provider of recruitment advert posting and candidate response tracking technology) have taken both a macro and industry-specific view of what they saw happen in the UK recruitment market during 2011. Looking back, it is clear that 2011 was the year in which the depth and breadth of the economic trough became more widely understood. That there is unlikely to be a swift and material change to this condition now goes relatively unchallenged. Despite a general softening trend from 12 months ago, employers in most labor markets report varying degrees of positive hiring activity for the third quarter. According to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey of global hiring trends released today, hiring activity is expected to slow from last year at this time in two-thirds of the countries and territories surveyed. The survey reveals few clear signs of notable traction in the labor market.

Most resumes are standard and boring. Yet there are many who are creative and beautiful. For example this resume from Naomi Gatt, a graphic designer in Malta.
This series of creative CVs, or special online profiles, can be found under the blog category “CV’s & profiles“. I really enjoy creative guerrilla marketing techniques in Recruitment. The next case comes from Jung von Matt who were looking for Art Directors. To find them they used Trojan horses: 15 well-known photographers. They show their work regularly to the best creative agencies. So they integrated small job ads in their portfolios. For example as an inscription on a bus, a graffiti on a wall or a stitchery on a pullover. In this way the photographers carried the job marketing massage precisely to our target group.
