How to Outwit an Online Job Application
As we blogged earlier, these candidates are getting crafty. If an online job application has them running for the hills, you might want to re-visit your automation strategy.
What’s the Value of Your Employer Brand?
LinkedIn finds that employers with a strong employer brand have a 28% lower cost per hire. Employer brand is a foundational strategy. It lifts, or sinks, all other recruiting strategies.

Employer branding strategy: the reason why you should not lie!
