Talent Management or Spam
Today I received this message from Avery Dennison and it was actually quite interesting. not so much the content but their approach.
Three things stand out:
Very active sourcing done (not sure why they reach out to me?) and a very direct approach to leads.
Through our sourcing and research efforts, we received your information and would like to extend to you the opportunity to register
Very clear in why they reach out to “highly talented individuals” (I’m very flattered of course but not sure I would reach out to a staffing manager ;-)
Our hiring activity has slowed a bit, but we want to be proactive in communicating with highly talented individuals
Their approach to TPR’s. This point does show that they didn’t screen very well. Are they trying to get it viral by just reaching out to everyone?
If you are a third party recruiter, please use the 'opt out' link provided, but feel free to contact us via email and we will offer directions as to where you can register your services on bountyjobs.com.
I'd be interest to hear what you think? Is this talent management or spam???

Your trip will be made safer by Avery Dennison reflective products in road signs.

Ted, I would have to say Spam. If you knew how many of these mails went out you would concur!! I have a few real beauties listed on my blog, examples of how not to recruit. Getting a mail like this would make me run a mile from a prospective employer.
