New technology has
changed the way we
recruit and apply for jobs
Social skills are more
important than ever
The ‘gig’ or self-employment will
become the primary source of
income.
Think Uber, AirTasker, Freelancer,
etc
Are you ready?
Why are we here today?

18Now back to the recruiter….
New technology has changed the way recruiters hire and attract talent.
Less advertisement and more targeted campaigns (don’t go for “looking for
opportunities”)
Linkedin is a key talent search tool http://linkedin.com/
CV are scanned before they are read https://www.adzuna.com.au
ChatBots are pre-screening candidates https://hiremya.com
Digital presence is a must have
Images and infographics are the new trend
So…. If you are still using a black and white CV, chances are your job search has
not been very successful.
Demo!
19DEMO
I need to recruit a HR Coordinator next week and don’t have time to advertise:
http://linkedin.com/
I need to computer to pre-screen candidates all 300 applicants for me:
https://www.adzuna.com.au
I need a robot to pre-screen, ‘talk’ to candidates, reject the ‘bad ones’ and
schedule interview meetings with the ‘good ones’ and rank them in order of
priority (points based system): https://hiremya.com and SeedLink.

Be selective and invest time
in the roles you do want
Define your personal brand
Where is your dream job?
Start networking today
Do you have a plan?
Go digital. Your CV, Cover Letter and Selection Criteria are no longer enough!
29
Personal Branding
Write your own story or it will be written for you by
someone else…..
30
How do you want to be perceived and how are you actually
perceived? What’s your value proposition?
What do you want people to think, feel and do as a result of
your interaction? What is your key differentiation point?
Use digital tools wisely and to your advantage. How do you want to
be represented online?
Be professional and keep your promises – Always!
Your Personal Brand
31
Have you ‘googled’ your name?
Do you have a LinkedIn profile?
Are you using LinkedIn for networking
purposes? Help someone 10 times
Do you have a personal website?
Have you included samples of your work?
Videos, photos, video selfies, articles?
Your Online Presence
32
Quick Tips for your Interviews
Your presence
Your ability to connect
Your ability to anticipate needs
Your performance
Authenticity
Interviews test your social skills more than your technical skills!

1 The job market has changed and therefore your job search tools
also need to change
Stay competitive in the digital market and keep up with the latest
trends
Manage your brand, or someone else will do it for you
Consider that you may be your future employer. The jobs of the
future are no longer 9-5 or with one single company.
Promote your brand. You already have one, is it the one you want for
yourself?
