It also opened a new two-year visa track for high-income earners (US$318,000+ per year) as well as graduates of the world’s top 100 universities with at least three years’ work experience. Total foreign enrolment in Taiwan reached a record high of 130,000 students in 2019, roughly half of which (63,000) were enrolled in degree studies. The southbound plan was enacted in 2016 to encourage closer economic and cultural ties between Taiwan and 18 other Asian countries, including Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. “They will have to fight for this talent. And the plan includes concrete targets for international students as well with the goal to build the country’s foreign enrolment to 200,000 degree-seeking students. Taiwan’s economy is facing a severe labour shortage which arises largely from a declining (and ageing) population combined with historically low birth rates.

Why recruitment marketing is important in HR (Unleash)

Whether recruiting the best new talent or retaining your hardest workers, recruitment marketing is the solution you've been looking for.

But the hazard here is the misconception that recruitment marketing is a one-and-done operation. Without a sense of direction and purpose, your efforts can quickly run aground or produce results antithetical to your intentions. Suddenly your logo, messaging, and branding are everywhere, not only for prospective applicants but it signals to clients, investors and the competition, that your business is robust and growing. With the applicant having found the position at your company, and considered a potential future there, they need one final incentive to make the leap and apply. Additionally, they will want to see the sort of projects you undertake; is there future promise and scope to grow? Thanks to the attention given to a healthy culture and benefits system, staff will feel secure, satisfied, and motivated, rather than disenfranchised and drawn away by competitors. The way you present your business, visually and through your descriptions, will not only make you stand out, but will ensure you are a memorable and exciting prospect for potential candidates. Recruitment marketing is one of the best ways to sell your company. But with such a saturation of jobs and the desire to appeal to the finest candidates – maybe those who aren’t even looking for a new job – we need to call on recruitment marketing’s added steps. By optimizing your brand, you establish the most unique and appealing elements of your company. And to get that message out there, recruitment marketing encourages an organization to explore channels, deploy tactics and harness tools which are primarily rooted in marketing. What’s more, if the grass continually looks greener on the other side, you will also struggle to retain your current staff, who will be

How Specific Recruitment Strategies Lead To Better Retention In ... (Home Health Care News)

In order to consistently recruit caregivers to home-based care, providers and human resource departments need to better understand what workers want and.

“Home health is considered a low-skilled job, but the position demands a high range of physical, psychological and emotional skills, including being able to safely transport people and dealing with diseases such as Alzheimer’s or dementia.” That law was changed during the pandemic for flexibility reasons, but is set to expire later this year. “The reality is that 63% of CNAs, and nearly as many home health aides, have a net worth of less than $25,000,” Keen said. “This report provides some insight that hopefully can be the basis at the beginning of conversations that we’re having with caregivers,” Keen said. Providers should be able to advertise and market job openings to different types of caregivers, MissionCare suggests. “There’s an opportunity for providers across home-based care to not engage, recruit and retain everyone like everyone is the same.”

According to Estrada, it’s common knowledge in the industry that some Filipinos are posing as “dummy” incorporators of some recruitment or placement agencies deploying OFWs. “Let’s just request the DMW to scrutinize the recruitment agencies, whether the proprietors of these recruitment agencies have the financial capability to run its operations,” said the senator, chairman of the Senate Committee on Labor, Employment and Human Resources. The senator bared the information he received on Wednesday’s Senate hearing on the case of Jullebee Ranara and the cancellation of the recruitment license of her local recruitment agency.

Similarly, if you are in a recruiting network or do splits, get to know your trading partners: Develop relationships beyond the job/candidate you initially inquire about. “Take time to get to know your candidates – don’t rush them or try to ‘sell’ them on an opportunity,” said NPAworldwide. “Quora questions and subreddits like r/recruitinghell are filled with horror stories of abuse, endless lies of omission, and ghost stories of interviews missed or late-stage processes ended without a word,” the report said. There is also a level of trust to where they are able to hand over a candidate’s full details, or invite their partner on a call with their client. Because these individuals know and can depend on their partners, they are able to go straight to their trading partner with a job or candidate, said the recruitment network. And many of those business relationships evolve into true friendships, with members helping run each others’ businesses while their partner is out of commission due to illness, or attending weddings of their NPA friends.”

DFAT accused of bungling 2023 graduate program recruitment ... (ABC News)

The CPSU writes to DFAT alleging that more than a quarter of the applicants who got a conditional offer to join the program were rejected months later, ...

DFAT told the ABC that it "understood" the disappointment of the rejected candidates, "including in relation to the timing of the communication" but said that it "routinely utilises email to provide updates to candidates". The CPSU has also accused the department of treating the disappointed candidates in a "combative" way and "mishandling" the withdrawal of employment offers. But the department has issued a forceful defence of its conduct, denying that it is treated diverse candidates unfairly and pointing out that many of those who were selected for the program and got their clearances in time are also from multicultural backgrounds. The CPSU letter also alleges that many of those who could not get their security clearances in time to join DFAT are from diverse backgrounds. Now the Community and Public Sector Union has written to DFAT alleging that more than a quarter of the applicants who got a conditional offer to join the program were rejected by the Department months later because their security clearance applications could not get through a clogged-up system. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has bluntly rejected accusations from the public sector union that it bungled the recruitment process for its 2023 graduate program and shut out candidates from diverse backgrounds.
