I’m a Data Driven Recruiter
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Interesting thread which rationalises Nike’s decline in performance as being due to a shift from story telling / brand building to purely ‘performance’ based marketing. Whilst there are probably other factors involved (not least a collapse in Nike’s China business), the story itself is worth retelling; the problem with be data driven is that you end up doing the most easily measured thing, which may not be the most important thing.

The rapid adoption of GenAI in search engines will significantly disrupt CMOs’ ability to harness organic search to drive sales

One persistently under rated impact of GenAI will be the decline of organic search traffic as ‘search generative experiences’ delivers upon the user enquiry and effectively stops users from clicking on the blue links. Is everyone’s site visitor numbers destined to go down from here? CMO’s from Gartner survey seem to think so, summarised in this December press release.

“Do Ads Even Work on Devs?”
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Counterintuitively, it seems that they do. Interesting insight from a marketing director of a tech services firm (whose audience are other devs) on how the business pivoted from a community only approach, to add in adverts in the right channel (Youtube) and in the right way (as recommended video rather than video autoplay..). Lessons for recruiters of devs I would say…
Issue #348 published 11 Jun 2023
Google AI Search is a bigger deal than most people realise, so I am going to share this excellent post on how and why it might devastate web traffic volume, force wholesale revision of marketing strategies and do as yet unknown things to ads. Bottom line is Google’s generated content will soon dominate on screen real estate, relegating links to end destination to an afterthought. We’re doing a Brainfood Live on this, so recruitment marketers and EB people should sign up to this now. H/T to brainfooder William Geldart for the share

Pepperoni Hug Spot
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Every element of this video advert was made with GPT’s. It’s crude, has an ‘80’s feel to it and won’t make anyone hungry for pizza, but it is an artefact from the future of content generation which is already here. Exciting, portentous - we should be familiar with the emotional journey of AI revelations by now. H/T to brainfooder Rob Dromgoole for the share in the online community
Issue #342 published 30 Apr 2023
Elon Musk’s chaotic and capricious management of Twitter constantly throws up surprises, some of which might turn out to be obliquely relevant to the work we do here. The open sourcing of Twitter’s recommendation algorithm not only lays bare the ego of the man (Elon tweets being hard coded into the recommendation algo), and the US centricity of what has become a global platform (tweets divided into ‘Republican’ vs ‘Democrat’) but also a reasonable guide book as to how to get your tweets go further, get more reads and grow a following - useful for recruitment and content marketers

PS: it is striking how similar social network recommendation algorithms are

Who Becomes An Entrepreneur?
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
The entrepreneurial persona’s are: Teenage Vandal, Generalist Old Pro, Community builder, The Under Compensated, Survivors of Childhood Adversity, Neurodivergent and the 41.9 year olds. Entertaining post summarising research papers on the personal characteristics or background of the people most likely to follow the entrepreneurial path. Might be useful in recruitment marketing should your employer ask you to hire for ‘entrepreneurial mindset’.
Issue #337 published 26 Mar 2023
One of the predictions I was most confident in for 2023 was that influencer marketing would come to talent acquisition in a big way. What I didn’t speculate on is where we would find the first examples. It should’ve been obvious it would start in gaming - the right demographic (mainly young, single men) who invest a lot of time into very specific channels. Throw in ‘the social recession’, rise in male mental illness and disparity in education and early career achievement, then we have a captive, motivated audience for the e-girl recruiter.
Issue #331 published 12 Feb 2023
What are we going to be doing with social media in 2023? Using more influencers that’s what, according to this research from Hootsuite, who surveyed 10,000+ social media managers / marketers on how they were going to do customer acquisition. Less ads then, more indirect marketing through folks who have already got an audience. We should see more of this in recruiting - one of my predictions I’m going to make is influencer marketing will come to talent acquisition in 2023. Whose going to be first to do it? Download the report here, online version here.

What has been your favourite podcast this year? Audio only has been a great medium for me as a consumer and I hope more of us get involved in listening and producing more podcasts in 2023. Big List is there in case you want to check out who’s talking amongst us already - feel free to add to it if you’re launching something in 2023. In the meanwhile, Joe Rogan continues to dominate on Spotify…
Issue #324 published 25 Dec 2022
TikTok continues to be the culturally dominant app, not only amongst Gen Z, but increasingly across all demographics. Year in review lists the most popular short videos on the platform, a mix of education, entertainment and the never-seen-this-before type of content. We’ll be doing a Brainfood Live early next year in How to Use Tik Tok for Recruitment, looking at it from content creation, audience building, #hashtag tracking and ad placement angles - make sure you register for it!
Issue #324 published 25 Dec 2022
Video games have been used to recruit soldiers since Doom first invented the first person shooter genre. We can see the advantages of it - optimal demographic (young men), potentially relevant skillset - and according to this critical piece - a powerful opportunity to sell the heroes story to the impressionable.
Issue #318 published 17 Nov 2022
I’ve been playing with Text-to-Image recently and been blown away by what can be achieved. Brainfooder José Kadlec is being deliberately provocative with his titling here but the central premise is not far off the mark - AI is coming for creativity - and you can prove it yourself by using it already.

Issue #308 published 4 Sep 2022
As privacy advocacy bleeds into product development, we are heading toward a future where we will be trackerless by default. Firefox is not at all the most popular browser, but it is No2 or No3 in the world and this move is highly significant portend of things to come. H/T brainfooder Nick Thompson for the share

Are Podcasts Getting Worse?
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Fun post reviewing reviews. Seems that old podcasts get harsher treatment, maybe as a result of dated content or audio quality. Also, it seems that the people who do rate pods peaked in 2016. If you want to review (positively mind you!) the Recruiting Brainfood Podcast do so here in Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Spotify's Podcast Search Explained
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Podcast discovery remains such an inexact science that we primarily still rely on recommendations made from open outcry. This amazing post breaks down how Spotify search works and….got me thinking about how useful this might be for budding podcasters and recruitment marketers wanting greater discoverability for their content….
Issue #291 published 8 May 2022
Ban Online Behavioral Advertising
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
One of the best ways to understand how something works is to study the arguments of those who oppose it. This diatribe against online advertising lists in laypersons terms what ad tracking is and why it’s bad. It’s a pretty good way to learn about recruitment marketing.
Issue #286 published 3 Apr 2022
I’d personally like to invite you to come join the fast-growing, highly empathetic team at Instawork - Sumir, CEO of Instawork
This is low effort / high return recruitment marketing. Recruiters in competitive markets already have ‘target’ company’s to hire from, so why not get your CEO to make a public call out when one of them runs into difficulty? Simple stuff, not enough of us think to do it.
Issue #283 published 13 Mar 2022
I may be wandering into diva territory on this podcast with the ever awesome Francesca Rodriguez Balit, but I had a great conversation on what makes a great event and how you can get your speakers to amplify it for you. It’s not about the appeals, but the details.

Influencer marketing industry set to grow to approximately $16.4 billion in 2022

6 Instagram Stories Marketing Tips
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Are we still doing Instagram Stories? I think Reels is going to be the main push from the Zuckerverse, at least until we’re ready to migrate to the Metaverse, but some good marketing tips here anyway, which I think apply to any serial video story telling.
Issue #281 published 27 Feb 2022
Crimes Against Talent Pipelines
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
I often suggest that Brainfood Live co-host and long time brainfooder Adam Gordon doesn’t know what he is talking about, but one topic where I think he might, is recruitment marketing automation. So here he is on Chad and Cheese. Good listen for recruitment marketers

What People See on Facebook
RECRUITMENT MARKETING
Are you still marketing on Facebook? In case you are, this report might give you some clues as to what kind of content works best. Clearly it is not sharing links but something like a screenshot of readable text might be the format which travels furthest through the fb network.
Issue #255 published 29 Aug 2021
Nerds definitely don’t respond to marketing - they actively disdain it. So smart thinking requires the recognition of this reality, and adapting our behaviour accordingly. Excellent read on the behaviour shift recruiters need to better engage the highly skilled, in-demand, tech worker.
Issue #255 published 29 Aug 2021
Ben Evans is perhaps the No1 commentator on the Internet right now - worth a follow on twitter, where he does most of his stuff. His take on advertising is particularly acute, with this essay in essence a defence of the ad tracking business and a lament for its inevitable end. What replaces it is a question Evans asks, but no one else really has. Relevant especially to recruitment technology vendors here - how do you reach your customers when the ads don’t work? (aside from sponsoring brainfood that is)
Issue #248 published 11 Jul 2021
Most of you know that there is a tracking pixel (at least!) in this email - standard stuff for anyone sending an email newsletter. Doesn’t tell you much, but it does tell you things like Open Rate (OR) and Click Through Rate (CTR), essential analytics to assess email performance. Apple’s clear positioning as the big tech privacy advocate shows us a future where even basic analytics of this type may soon not be available - important reading for anyone who sends email at scale, is in recruitment marketing or otherwise cares about email engagement.
Issue #245 published 20 Jun 2021
Another one of the classic annuals - its Appcasts 2021 Recruitment Marketing Benchmark report. Some interesting insight on the impact of Job Title length, timing of the ad placement and time of the month. Read here
Issue #231 published 15 Mar 2021
In light of the Australian Government ruling that link sharing is now a chargeable activity (follow Benedict Evans for the smartest take on this), I thought it might be a good moment to explore why we users like to share links at all? Some psychological marketing for you then, introducing “8 Motivation Clusters”. It’s a great read on the user behaviours we too often blame the platform the on. Also useful for anyone trying to ‘viralise’ content. Have a read.
Issue #228 published 21 Feb 2021
No surprise as to which websites feature here, but the degree of dominance is always impactful in visualisations. Alphabet, with Google and Youtube, own the web, with almost every other site an also ran in the Anglo Saxon internet. Some brainfood for the recruitment marketers - take a look here

Issue #220 published 27 Dec 2020
Significant changes on FB/ Instagram this week, as messaging features become disabled - some for rebuilding in compliance with regulation, some others likely to disappear for good. As national governments increasingly legislate against globalised big tech, regulatory divergence will force platform providers to either localise service offerings or potentially withdraw them altogether. Important especially for anyone how manages employer fb pages. H/T to brainfooder Martyn Redstone for the share in the fb group.
