The cultural and creative industries are parts of the widest industries in Germany. With more than 600,000 employees in 40,000 companies, the advertising branch is one of the most popular and growing labor markets. Strongly dependent on the global economic performance of Germany, this branch is driven by society changes – eg in the media.
With a few exceptions for large agencies, the industry is mostly built by young and dynamic medium-sized companies. The real recruiting challenges for this industry are related to the high personnel turnover, a frequent staffing on free basis and a trend toward academic career.
softgarden supports businesses of the advertising branch with the implementation of an efficient and highly flexible e-recruiting solution to attract and hire new and old talents.

Everybody is talking about social media and creative industries are already in the thick of it for a while. But did you ever recruit new talent on Facebook? taloom.media is currently exploiting the largest social network with over 400 000 million users for your new talent pool.
Post new jobs on Facebook
In addition to over 50 different online job portals, taloom.media is also connected to Facebook. And if your company already has a fan page on Facebook, you are only a few clicks away to publish job offers there. The good news? This connection is free of charge and your own employees will be job ambassadors, recommending the vacancies of the company to their own Facebook friends. Thus, job offers are going to be virally spread without further intervention.
Job-Portal on the Facebook-Page
If your company does not have a Facebook Page, the softgarden consultants and our partners from TMP remains at your disposal for any advice or support that you may require in this matter. Once your presence in the social network is knitted, a job portal can then be integrated so that the the company’s Facebook fans remain up-to-date.

Applying in an advertising, media or communication agency often means for the human resources department to be overwhelmed with certificates, certificates or various attendance documents. Work samples (especially in creative departments) are often made of several pages which is, technically speaking, a large amount of megabytes. Many e-mail programs and e-recruiting systems have a data limit, so that large attachments will not be transferred or processed. Missing work samples should be submitted separately and quickly the application process becomes delayed. It can be so much easier.
Manage large amount of data
Unlike many e-recruiting systems, taloom can receive and manage wide portfolios of work samples of (almost) unlimited data size. The candidate can apply in sending all his application documents separately or (if he is wise) in uploading them in a package. This can be done through the integrated career portal on the company’s website or via a application form.
Automatic organization of applications
And if the candidate forgot something, he can always complete his application with the missing documents in logging in to the career portal. taloom media sorts completed data to the right candidate and informs the recruiter about it. Thus, the time-consuming documents sorting task can be safely deleted from the to-do list…
PDF generator
In case a candidate applies with individual documents, you can simply create in one click a unique application PDF file, so you do not have to dig into many documents. Of course the documents’ order can be modified.
Agencies have in general large client portfolios. Employees of different fields can lead simultaneously multiple projects. Vacancies have often to be filled for the short-term and special skills can be needed just for a given project period. And that costs money and time. Better is to browse quickly in a pool of talent previously implemented.
Fill vacancies on demand
taloom media offers the possibility to hold interesting candidates ready ready to be contacted for a long period. Interesting candidates won’t be refused because there isn’t any available vacancies but will be stored in the system and contacted as soon as an adapted position appears. Regularly the system will ask candidates if they are still interested. In this way the network of freelancers can be easily managed.
Keep data updated
If in the meantime a candidate wants to change his contact details, locations, or even qualifications, he may refresh his information in logging in to the career portal of the company’s website. Thus, the development of the talents is also tracked.
