I like your slide show. There are a lot of parallels to things on my blog over at barmarbybroox.wordpress.com. Particularly the slide with the big 3000 on it, which I also use in a slide show - it is on this page http://barmarbybroox.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/interruption-vs-permission/, but with the big “3000″ removed. And your slide 15 is very much what I’m talking about in this post: http://barmarbybroox.wordpress.com/2008/05/23/logos-in-your-face/

BTW, I found your blog, which I like, using WordPress’s Tag Surfer feature.

Awww. Such nice words Mr Gill. Makes all the writing angst worthwhile.

Comment on how digital is impacting on recruitment advertising by nicholas gill

@Duane & Lis

Thanks for joining in the conversation and apologies for taking some time getting back to you. I absolutely agree with you both about getting companies to see the bigger picture. Unfortunately at present there are those who get it and those that don’t. It’s going to take perserverance and chipping away at the edges with great examples, ideas and opportunities and often, helping them to be brave.

I love your point about people thinking their staff or customers don’t have computers (a beer brand 2 weeks ago I overheard saying they thought their target audience weren’t online. They’re 18-24. Highest pentration group there is. D’oh!). It’s all-pervasive. I often wonder if they hide away because they just don’t understand it. It’s fast-paced and hard to keep up. But also getting in is such a low cost of entry and easy to do.

Very useful reference. I feel its certainly the online - way forward for both recruitment businesses and companies. Like Duane mentioned - its getting a company to see the big picture when there is still alot of resistance to simply advertising roles on line. The amount of organisations we speak to where they think their staff dont even have a computer is flabbergasting.

Things are moving at such a pace, I am sure that the traditional job board structures have a life expectancy and there are a whole mass of other unique methods that will become available in the next 5 minutes.

Really interested in the Wikipedia entry, is there anyone out there can give me a bit more info on this area of company publicity? Ironically seam to be having a bit of an issue trying to figure it out.

Great post. This is all true but getting a company to see the big picture sometimes is hard. I enjoyed the part about Re-invent the job description & Activate your brand advocates, which is going to be even more important as we move forward.
