Key service offering

We believe that if you don't have the big-picture appreciation right from the start, you'll never truly realise the potential benefits - and in recruitment, that means bums on seats, faster and for less. Yes, those holy grails of HR - reducing time-to-hire and cost-per-hire.

We don't promise you a magic wand - but we will work damned hard to help you realise efficiencies, and benefit from all actions. And if we get the basics right, we know from experience the rest will follow.

Job ads

It may only cost a couple of hundred quid to place an advert on a job board - but it doesn't take too many of those to fail before it becomes an expensive pastime. Trust us - that's easily done in a particularly crowded space. And what if your target audience isn't actually that web-engaged? The local Gazette or Post can still play its part, so you'll want to be working with people who understand that. We aim to ensure you've got the basics right first - and last.

  • Planning & Campaign Strategies

  • What do you want to achieve?

  • Who is your target audience?

  • What's this requirement's USP and / or your employer brand resonance?

  • What's the target audience perception of you?

  • How are you capturing the final action / what's the end result?

  • Do you have any previous activity experience to learn from?

  • And finally - is there a budget / target ROI in mind?

It's not rocket science to get the right information to start with - but the quality of thought and depth of experience that then converts this into cognitive, engaging marketing strategies is what separates the stand out from the wallpaper. The profile raised from the background noise. At 3D MarComms, we aim to balance a media-agnostic approach with intelligent planning models aimed at delivering the biggest bang for your buck.

Employer Brand & e-Brand Management

Let's be clear: your employer brand belongs not to you or your company but to your employees, as well as any candidates your recruitment activity has touched. It's an entity that lives within your organisation and through all with whom it comes into contact. Think anything different? The fact is you can change your housestyle or visions and values statement as many times as you want, but it will never have any real effect. People are your employer brand - your employer brand is your people.

e-Brand management - the practice of monitoring and influencing your brand online - has massively increased engagement opportunities, but has also magnified the pitfalls you need to watch for. So, whether you need to start from scratch, review your established brand or understand the potential of actively managing your e-employer brand, then 3D MarComms is well-positioned to help.

Search Engine Optimisation & Advertising

Some 85% of Internet users find websites through Search Engines. Search engine marketing techniques ensure that your site is instantly found by people looking for it - and that it's returned in search results to those who might be interested in your opportunities.

We bring experienced, accredited specialist expertise to bear on your online presence, helping ensure that you are where appropriate candidates would expect you to be, as well as - crucially - where they might not.

Ad serving & campaign tracking

If knowledge is power, then the majority of campaigns running today are fated to be weak due to the poor data they'll generate. That's why, where feasible, we'd always advocate using an ad-serving system that not only tells us what media's working best for you (in terms of clicks and conversions,), but also which creative execution is catching the eye and which is generating the best goal conversion. If you're relying on a candidate to remember where they "saw your ad", you've missed the point - and are certainly overspending.

Let us help strengthen your campaign execution and build your knowledge along the way through generating insightful management information that you can trust - and which may even make you wonder how you've managed living in the dark for so long.

Website design & delivery

The 3D MarComms team has worked together for many years and produced a wide range of websites. Some have won awards; all have engaged the desired candidates and hit the spot with clients. And whilst the technologies that help to shape the web experience continue to advance, our focus will never shift - putting the candidate first and ensuring what we build is fit for purpose. If that means interactivity and sexy design - great. If it means simple and straight to the point - fine; why not? The most important thing is that it works for the visitor and, as far as possible, fulfils their reason for visiting your site. Making a job or career-changing decision is one of the biggest anyone can make, so isn't it right to approach your website appreciating this? We think so. And we like to think our work reflects this.

Applicant Tracking Systems

Over the years, we have had experience of integrating or working with the likes of Bond, GradWeb, i-Grasp, JobPartners, PeopleBank, PeopleClick, PeopleSoft, Taleo, Vurve, WCN and others. So if you're happy with the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) you have in place, you can be sure we can integrate with it in whatever way it allows, as well as being well-placed to help ensure you're getting the best use from the facilities you're paying for.

But maybe your pockets aren't that deep. Or maybe you're fustrated at an ATS you've been using that simply doesn't seem to be able to deliver what you need from a modern recruitment tool. That's why we've built our very own ATS - find out more about why we feel HARBOUR™ represents the next generation of ATS.
