Hiring behind profiles: Why social media is an ineffective platform in recruiting talents for employers

Tweet

Social media has broken barriers and opened the world of seamless communication by allowing users to share life updates and socialize on the platform. With its astronomical growth, it eventually offered many opportunities for businesses not only to promote their service but outsource potential employees.

However, social media can be a double-edged tool when used for business processes, particularly for recruitment. While social media can be a seemingly convenient tool to announce job vacancies, it doesn’t necessarily translate to quality applications.       

In line with their latest campaign “Hire Real Talent” dedicated to educating companies in seeking the right talents post-pandemic, the leading online job portal JobStreet Philippines advises companies to reconsider the use of social media in their recruitment processes.

Difficulty in finding skilled and quality candidates

On social media, recruiters may encounter various applicants but finding qualified candidates can be a challenge. Although social media accounts can be helpful in doing background checks, it can result in prejudice, and recruiters may be unable to find relevant information such as credentials, job experiences, and skillset as compared to an actual professional job platform.

Social media profiles exhibit more personal and non-professional activities or information about an individual—ergo, filtering of qualified applicants can be taxing for hirers.

Social media job ads may NOT be targeting active jobseekers

Targeted social media ads get promoted to a specific category of people and are also shown to the general audience. While ads can be specific, social media users who fall under the selected categories are not automatically active jobseekers because the platforms are mainly used for socializing or content streaming. Hence, the costs of boosting job ads on social media may not be as effective in targeting the right candidates and, therefore, could potentially be a waste of company resources.

Filipino workforce prefers online job platforms

According to a recent study by JobStreet, “What Jobseekers Wish Employers Knew: Unlocking the Future of Recruitment” when looking for a job, 28% of Filipinos prefer online recruitment platforms, corporate pages, and websites. This means many job seekers, from entry-level to skilled ones, go straight to the source of job postings when they are actively looking for opportunities.

Legitimate job platforms like JobStreet have specialized filtering capacities for hirers and recruiters to use when looking for a candidate that requires certain skills and experience. Through this, not only is it convenient for hirers but also reliable when looking for a legitimate candidate. Before applicants can post their resume, it is scanned and scored by an Artificial Intelligence tool built upon millions of data points from the JobStreet platform. The AI tool has been vetted by real HR professionals, employers, and corporate leaders.

Additionally, JobStreet offers a consumable budget-based model that allows hirers to set a budget for a certain period of time. With the candidates engaging on the platform specifically for job-hunting purposes, hirers are assured that their boosted job posts are shown to the relevant target audience and converted to legitimate applications.  

“As shown in our recent study, it is now a jobseekers’ market. With the changes in preferences and behaviors of our young workforce, we aim for our hirers to be fully equipped and future-ready when it comes to their recruitment practices, and that includes optimizing their resources and utilizing effective platforms that help them get quality talents,” said Kim Viray, JobStreet Philippines Head of Marketing.

JobStreet offers numerous benefits for employers to aid them through their recruitment process and lead them to make great hires. For newly registered hirers, JobStreet offers 30-day free job posting on their platform with access to over 14 million candidates, useful features on multiple channels (e.g. website and mobile app), easy-to-use job advertisement composer, powerful candidate management tools, and many more.

Under the campaign “Hire Real Talent”, the job platform also recently released a fun take on the use of social media in hiring candidates. Watch it here: https://www.facebook.com/JobStreetPhilippines/videos/1139168213385418/

Coca-Cola PH continues to empower micro-entrepreneurs, celebrates 500 graduates of training program with TESDA

Tweet

(MANILA, Philippines, 28 March 2023) – 500 micro-entrepreneurs were awarded Certificates of Completion for finishing the iSTAR Program in a graduation ceremony held at the TESDA Complex in Taguig City last March 22, 2023.

Launched in 2021, the iSTAR Program is the digital adaptation of the Sari-Sari Store Training and Access to Resources (STAR) Program, an enduring partnership between Coca-Cola Philippines and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), which provides free access to training, resources, and peer mentoring to micro and small business owners to help them grow their businesses. The iSTAR Program has removed the limitations of in-classroom training and diversified its trainees by opening it to existing and start-up micro-retailers of all genders.

TESDA Director General Danilo P. Cruz (left) and Coca-Cola Philippines President Tony del Rosario (right) also met during the iSTAR graduation ceremony to discuss plans to further expand and strengthen the training program.

Aimed at providing entrepreneurial training, sari-sari store owners and micro-entrepreneurs will be able to enhance their business knowledge such as online selling, inventory control, and planning; and gain access to microloans that will enable them to build their businesses further.

The iSTAR Program is one of the efforts of Coca-Cola Philippines in sustaining the economic empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the country. For over a decade, Coca-Cola's initiatives in this area have reached more than 270,000 women entrepreneurs in the retail sector across 17 regions and 81 provinces of the Philippines.

Summer season is officially here! As we constantly look for different ways to cool ourselves down, from cold drinks to cooling activities, we also seek ways to keep our food fresh for longer as the hot season escalates the food spoilage process.

It is known for its innovative three-color light technology in the crisper drawer, mimicking the 24-hour sun cycle and preserving vitamins in fruits and vegetables for longer.

Food tends to spoil more quickly during the summer because of the high temperature, which is caused by the growth of bad microorganisms. With a HarvestFresh refrigerator, you can keep your worries away from having rotten fruits and vegetables and say hello to a healthier and fresh lifestyle this summer.

Enjoy a healthier lifestyle as you can get this for only Php 51,842 from its SRP of Php 60,990.

Should we get a top-mount or a bottom-mount refrigerator? Let this guide you!

Top mount refrigerators, or top freezer refrigerators, feature wider doors with a large fresh food compartment below the freezer.

Ever wondered if you kept opening the fridge just to cool yourself from the blazing summer heat? Worry no more about it because thanks to the NeoFrost Dual Cooling Technology, it keeps your food away from freezer burn. This can be caused by loss of moisture every time you open the fridge, which can lead to lack of even temperature control and ruin your food’s freshness.

Enjoy the summer heat, coolness of your refrigerator, and get the RDNT470E50VZK for only Php 36,792 (from its SRP of Php 45,990)!

Both refrigerators include NoFrost Technology, which prevents enormous ice buildup that may lead to constant defrosting.

You can get the RCNT415E50VZK for only Php 37,392 (from its SRP of Php 43,990).

Are you looking for an energy-efficient refrigerator? The Beko RDSO308K30PPH might be good for you! This direct cool refrigerator naturally lets the cool air circulate through the unit, retaining fresh food for a short time.
