Advertising through recruitment: How banks utilize career websites

Abstract

Purpose of this paper

Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

A good gauge of where an industry – and indeed a wider economy - is positioned is where the balance of power lies between jobseekers and employers. If those seeking employment have to live with huge competition for places, relatively low starting salary and even zero hours contracts, then it is fair to say that the employer has the whip hand. In comparison, if prospective employees can name their price and negotiate all sorts of benefits, then they know the demand for their skills is high and an employer has to accept the truth of the situation and pay up.

Practical implications

Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.

What is original/value of paper?

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
