UNLEASH Product Spotlights look at products across the HR technology spectrum and are based on research and member input. Today, we look at JobTeaser, which aids recruiters to select target schools and universities for new talent, to be able to post job ads in just one click, to receive ultra-targeted applications, and answer candidates, all from the same platform.

We gained insights from a number of students that have had success in their job search with JobTeaser; Simone Hofland-Lokin, Career Advisor at Tilburg University; and Gabriele Silva, Director Talent Acquisition EMEA, VF Corporation to understand more about JobTeaser’s ecosystem of company and universities across Europe.

The war for student and graduate talent

An OECD research piece highlighted that the global population of university graduates is expected to reach 300 million by 2030. This rise conveys the increasing appreciation that economic development and success rely on the corresponding development of human capital. In the same report, it was shared that The International Association of Universities estimates there are now 18,000 degree-granting institutions in 180 countries worldwide. The graduate talent pool is therefore increasingly richer and more diverse – a prime place to invest recruitment energies.

Additionally, the market for high-skilled graduates is increasingly global. Economic and technological change is facilitating the internationalization and de-territorialization of business, with many companies, large and small, having international operations and international recruitment patterns, according to a report from the Association of Graduate Recruiters.

So, in a world where there is a bounty of untapped, fresh-faced talent that is highly-educated and tuned to a global world with unlimited opportunities, how can recruiters cut above the recruitment hubbub and gain access to the coal-face of the graduate world – the universities?

Recruit with ease and efficiency

We are all aware that most recruitment activity has moved online, both in terms of advertising vacancies and managing applications. This has significantly opened up access to opportunities for all students but arguably in such a complex market, it is hard for all but the best-known employers to be sure they are visible.

A McKinsey study on attracting and retaining the right talent highlighted one of the four elements most valued by top talent is distinctiveness. It also outlined that for three reasons, few companies have EVPs that meaningfully help them win the war for talent:

• Not distinctive
• Not targeted
• Unreal

So how can you be distinctive and deliver on your EVP in a world of LinkedIn and Glassdoor where bad press sticks and the competition is fierce?

JobTeaser’s integration within school and university intranet sites means that you can post your job ads from the dashboard to reach all your target candidates from across 750 schools and universities in just one click.

The platform helps you to successfully connect, engage and stand out to this rich source of talent. Jobteaser is the European leader for career guidance and the recruitment of young talent. They’ve built a unique ecosystem that brings together a range of businesses, as well as schools and universities around the next generation of talent. Being directly integrated into this ecosystem, recruiters can save time and become more accurate and efficient when recruiting for their future teams.

Improve your reach and drive more engagement recent graduates

With numbers of those attending university on the rise, issues have arisen, especially for large employers, where they receive too many applications for the schemes and jobs when they want fewer, better quality, and more targeted applicants. Smaller firms have also been noted to find it difficult to be visible to either universities or students and some larger organizations have even found that without a strong brand in the graduate recruitment market they found themselves short of applicants.

Your company page on JobTeaser can strengthen your employer branding and makes the process for candidates to find all the information they could need about you super easy. Your company page allows you the freedom to introduce your business and culture through videos and images, in addition to the traditional “job-posting” that most platforms afford. As a recruiter, you’re not only able to add context to the positions you’re recruiting for directly to the graduate and student talent pool, but also post news live to university career centres and promote targeted events in the same way.

JobTeaser can help you reach candidates in the right place at the right time through their products that adapt to your needs for optimizing your sourcing and employer branding. Find out more here.
