Candidate Sourcing Strategy

Leveraging our nationwide and European office networks, we also focus on sourcing candidates that are prepared to relocate for the right opportunity.

Our candidate sourcing strategy includes:

Targeting individuals registered with Robert Walters across our office network, based upon their geography, skill set and experience level.

We create campaigns which are advertised on the leading job boards to attract active and passive candidates for the roles.​

Featured jobs appear in a prominent position on the Robert Walters homepage, which receives over 100,000 visitors per month.​

The Robert Walters D&I Advertising Solution is specifically developed to support businesses with reaching and attracting diverse candidate pools through specialist D&I advertising channels, innovative data analysis and inclusive advert writing technology.

Through our data research we can tell you what professionals are looking for in an employer and compare your offering to that of your competitors to ensure you know how to attract and retain the best talent.

  • What professionals value most in an employer
  • How your brand is perceived in the market
  • Changes needed to attract the best talent
  • Key hiring trends within your industry

As the only recruitment agency to have a business analyst team, Robert Walters utilises advanced metrics on social media platforms, including LinkedIn, to identify high-potential candidates with the desired skills sets.

Leveraging this knowledge allows us to refine candidate sourcing through LinkedIn and target identified candidates through multiple channels, encouraging applications from the most closely-matched professionals.

On average websites only ever manage to sell 40% of their advertising inventory. Key positioned buttons, banners and skyscrapers are left unsold. Sites that are actively involved in “Real Time Bidding” (RTB) release unsold inventory to “the wider market” and allow agencies with the capability to bid for the remaining slots at heavily discounted prices. Robert Walters use an agency that allows us to benefit from this.

A significant number of job related websites, LinkedIn, national media and sector specific websites trade via this medium. This tool allows Robert Walters to make the advert visible to candidates who have either searched for similar roles in the past, or those that match the profile we are after. The adverts link​ through to the microsite. The campaign can also target interest related websites where we feel the right professionals will browse.

Companies often come to us wondering whether their salary and compensation packages are in line with those offered by similar organisations. Few employers have access to data tailored specifically to their business; this can be an invaluable guide to combat potential issues affecting overall business success, including talent lost to competitors, poor use of time and financial penalties.

We will carry out a search exercise conducted by our in-house team of researchers. This is a very focused and specific way to target individuals of interest. A target list will be drawn up with the names of organisations known to have individuals with the skill set you require. This process will, of course, be undertaken in a professional and discreet manner.
