Today’s guest blogger is Andrew Rothman, web site manager and project specialist for PCRecruiter, the ATS/CRM hybrid selected by thousands of independent and agency recruiters around the world. PCRecruiter has been an NPAworldwide partner for over a decade. This article reviews the changes recently made by Google to email rules regarding authentication and subscriptions, with a focus on how they might affect the way recruiters handle and scale their email marketing and communications plans.

Back in October, Google announced changes to their email handling policies designed to combat spam. These new changes will be fully in place by February 2024. Yahoo/AOL has announced similar email rules and others will likely follow suit. While the changes should mostly have a positive effect — reducing the amount of junk and scams that get to inboxes — they could have a negative effect on your recruiting process if you rely heavily on cold email or aren’t using properly configured outgoing email systems.

Happy New Year! I hope you’ve enjoyed some downtime over the holidays and have come back to your recruitment desk recharged and ready to dive headfirst into 2023. If your motivation is lacking, or you’re struggling with some areas of focus, here are a few ideas to consider:

Revisit Your Website

When is the last time you took a critical look at your website? If it’s more than 3 years ago, it’s time to dig in now. How is your SEO working? Are you effectively using your website as a source of leads? How about blogging to build your email list? More crucially, do you know if your website is accessible to visitors with disabilities? The US Department of Justice recently affirmed that websites are “places of public accommodation” and therefore must comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Anti-discrimination laws abound in other countries as well. Devote some of your recruitment desk activities to reviewing and correcting website issues to avoid legal action.

As far as recruitment goes, you’ve got every box ticked. Right? Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re looking to start a new recruitment business, there are some marketing needs that you really can’t skip in the early planning stages.

Business Name

Arguably one of the most important details for any new recruitment business, you’ll want to spend time developing a good name. If you think you might want to sell your business in the future, you should avoid naming it after yourself. Potential buyers will be coached not to pay for “goodwill” such as the brand name, especially if you leave the business when you sell it. You may also want to avoid cute, gimmick-y names and spellings. Think about how your name might work with a logo. It’s a good idea to have a couple of viable options in case one is not available. Ask others for feedback. Read the rest of this entry »
