Through my recruitment marketing mentoring, I create SMEs “subject matter experts” in recruitment marketing – I help them (you) become aware and stay ahead of the trends that will affect how you perform and deliver ROI.

SEO is NOT what it used to be - a dark art, full of keyword stuffing, crappy copy writing to fool Google, and so dull, geeky and technical that outsourcing was your only hope.

These days, Google has made it more “pedestrian” for the express purpose of appealing to a wider paying audience. We’ve been empowered to create keyword decks that can be the breath of not just your website, but your job adverts, phone calls, LinkedIn profiles etc…

I love this SEO podcast – there are some great listens to give you confidence and easy hacks to help you focus on what you need to do. It talks a lot about content and is super-practical for recruitment marketers who want to do my mantra - “less content, more marketing”.

Talking of “less content, more marketing” – if 60-70% of content is never actually used, you need to be sure that the precious time you spend as a recruitment marketer is spent delivering something that is capable of more than simply filling your day!

Your content needs to be:

Swift
Assertive
Relevant

And able to convert humans to candidates and clients… and recruiters into your best friends!

Although I don’t agree with all of the topics, there are some great ideas in this Content Marketing Podcast.
