First understand, then recruit

Most recruitment doesn't fail in the campaign, but in the preparation. We first analyze your vacancy, target audience and labor market. Only then do we choose tools.

What is a recruitment strategy?

A recruitment strategy is the plan behind your hiring: which target audience you're looking for, where they are, what moves them and with which message, channels and funnel you bring them in. At SocialFind, strategy is always the first step of the RPO approach, never a standalone service.

See the complete approach

Recruitment strategy and labor market analysis are a fixed part of our RPO approach. We deploy them at the start of every partnership and for every new vacancy, because without analysis every campaign is a gamble.

Why analyze first?

You won't find a production worker in Tilburg in the same place you'd find a commercial director. And certainly not with the same message. Start with a channel and you pay for reach that doesn't convert. Start with the target audience and you know where your budget pays off.

What do we map out?

  • Your vacancy: requirements, level, salary and the role within your organization. Is the profile even right?
  • Your target audience: where do these people work now, what moves them and are they actively looking or do you need to reach them latently?
  • The labor market: how scarce is the profile, what are competitors offering and how do you compare?
  • Your employer proposition: why would someone want to work for you, per target audience and not as a generic slogan?

The result isn't a thick report for the drawer, but a concrete recruitment mix that we then execute ourselves through the full funnel.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

From vacancy to strategy

Four steps, each starting from your knowledge of the organization.

  1. 1

    Dissecting the vacancy

    We go through the role with you and the hiring manager: what does someone really need to be able to do and what's negotiable?

  2. 2

    Mapping the target audience

    Where do these people work now, how do they move online and what are they responsive to?

  3. 3

    Gauging the labor market

    Scarcity, competition and how market-rate your offer is. Honestly, even if the offer needs sharpening.

  4. 4

    Determining the recruitment mix

    Channels, message, funnel and follow-up in a concrete plan that we then immediately run ourselves.

NO GUT FEELING, JUST RESEARCH

Knowledge from hundreds of campaigns

We recruit for a wide range of roles, from shop floor to boardroom. We bring that experience into every analysis: we know what moves comparable audiences and where campaigns get stuck. Your organizational knowledge plus our market knowledge, that's the combination.
