What If There’s a Better Way?
Instead of starting over with every job opening, imagine having a well-nurtured talent pool of engaged job seekers who are already familiar with and excited about your organization.
Enter Job Alerts
Job alerts allow you to:
Re-Engage Past Applicants:
Tap into the goldmine of talent sitting in your ATS, filled with individuals who have already expressed interest in your organization.
Keep Your Brand Top of Mind:
Regular communication builds familiarity and trust, making your company the obvious choice when candidates are ready to apply again.
Drive Better Hiring Results:
Subscribers to your job alerts are 20–40% more likely to get hired than those who aren’t.
The Key Components of Job Alerts
When you overlook the power of employer branding, you:
Build Your Subscriber Base
Your ATS is a treasure trove of talent. Start by importing applicants from the past three to five years to jumpstart your job alert strategy.
Create Consistent Communication
Job alerts are more than just emails about open roles—they’re an ongoing dialogue between you and your talent pool.
Expand Beyond Jobs
Include content that showcases your employer brand:
Your culture and core values.
What employees love about working with you.
Your mission, vision, and impact in the community.
Engage and Influence
By providing compelling content, you’ll not only keep your subscribers engaged but also empower them to share your message with friends and family.
The Power of Job Alerts:
Building Relationships That Matter
Job alerts don’t just fill open positions; they build lasting relationships with your talent pool. Here’s why they’re so impactful:
Higher Quality Candidates:
Job seekers receiving consistent communication are more engaged, excited, and less likely to ghost interviews.
Increased Hire Rates:
Subscribers to job alerts are significantly more likely to be hired than those who aren’t.
