What we offer INTEGRATE SELECT DIGITAL MARKETING CHANNELS There is lots of noise in the marketing space about using different advertising channels and it’s no different in recruitment marketing. We only select the most appropriate channels for our campaigns and we ensure they can all be integrated into a cohesive and engaging approach.
Brand campaign An employer brand campaign through COREcruitment is an additional strategy that can lift your organisation above that of your rivals and create a competitive advantage. Elevate your employer brand and value proposition Employers increasingly understand the need to define their employer brand and EVP (employee value proposition) if they’re to hire the best talent. Our campaigns complement these approaches and in many cases, help lead them.
Social Through our popular social media channels, we’re able to share and promote campaigns to a larger audience, attracting passive candidates. Our growing Google+ presence is also useful to improve SEO and ultimately drive more traffic to recruitment sites.

Our campaigns complement these approaches and in many cases, help lead them.
CORE on the road One of our popular methods of attracting candidates is organising open days and drinks evenings. These are a great opportunity for passive job seekers to interact discreetly without registering on job boards or applying online. We have had success specifically where potential employers have covertly attended events to meet candidates in a less formal setting.

Open Days
We use a variety of websites for advertising and CV databases - depending on location and specialism: Total jobs, manager. co.uk, Careersbank.com, Caterer, The ladders, CV-Library, Monster, Simply sales jobs, Sales target, Career structure, FM Management, FM World, Gumtree, Jobs on line, My facilities management jobs, Reed, Supply Management.

Another one of our popular methods of attracting candidates is organising an open day. Essentially open days are an opportunity for potential members of staff to visit your business at one of your locations, interact with your members of staff to further our understanding of your business.
We also have the ability to use our in house system of psychometric testing. We have found this especially useful as part of the recruitment process to double check that a candidate has the appropriate ability levels to be successful in a role.
Candidate Attraction Referrals
Our network Each consultant at COREcruitment has a niche area that they work in, and within this niche area they are part of many different network groups. Consultants use these network groups to their advantage. As we’ve mentioned, referrals are a big part of our candidate attraction and good people know good people. Consultants make a conscious effort to attend any relevant networking events, so when we say they know the industry inside outthey really do!
Psychometrics
Working within these niche areas also means consultants are constantly working on similar roles. Therefore, consultants know as soon as they receive a vacancy who is available, who would be suitable and who may have a referral. Some of our top candidates are known as ‘passive candidates’ which means they are not actively looking but we always keep an eye out for them and contact them if any suitable roles come up.
We have a target at COREcruitment that 40% of our placed candidates will come via referrals and recommendations – good people tend to know good people. We actively incentivise candidates to put us in touch with their friends / colleagues and contacts to find a higher number of ‘passive job seekers’.
In 2013 COREcruitment was the fastest growing UK recruitment agency on LinkedIn Social Media More recently our focus has been on using social media to attract candidates. We see this as being a key area of growth for us as a business and 12 months ago we appointed an in-house web development and SEO specialist to manage our social networks and on-line presence.

It is important to embrace social networks as part of any business’s recruitment strategy. COREcruitment has adopted a 2-tier strategy: with more recruitment orientated we are more geared towards actively networking with potential candidates; on networks that are more social by nature we
