It’s said that Australian consumers are early adopters while Australian businesses are often the reverse.  It’s certainly true that many of our Expr3ss! customers have been more than surprised to see so many of the little Indeed.com icons       pop up in their Applicant Source column. Indeed.com is a job aggregrator, think of it as Google® for jobs [more here]. It seems that applicants have discovered Indeed.com and adopted it with great gusto! But what does this mean for you? In last month’s post [here] I showed how simply by making your Job publicly-visible in “Apply” mode it becomes automagically…  Read More

Following our interview, Ben outlines how using rapid psychometric screening at the outset allows the “Looks Wrong but is Right” applicants to be brought forward for the consideration they deserve.  This increases your potential applicant pool, filling it with great “will-do” and “fit-to” people who might otherwise be overlooked. The Google research he refers to is even more interesting and deserves some expansion.  They looked at 10,000 hires to determine how well or how poorly reading resumes and conducting interviews predicted success in role.  When…  Read More
