  • Interview with Jobfox CEO Robert McGovern on the economy and online recruiting

    by on Jan. 19, 2009
    Hi Everyone,
     
    I was reading Forbes.com and came across an article by Jobfox CEO Robert McGovern (the one and the same that founded CareerBuilder).  The article discusses current trends in the economy and what jobs he thinks will be "hot" in the near future. 
     
    It's a nice read and provides some interesting insight:
     
     
    Enjoy!

  • The Recession: A Silver Lining for Corporate Recruiters

    by on Oct. 28, 2008
    Hello All,
     
    OK, everyone has been reading the news.  Doom and gloom, recession, and the economy tanking. 
     
    If you are like me, you have friends that have been laid off, "hiring freezes" instituted in your area, and bosses that want to cut down on the resources you have available to you to use for recruiting.
     
    Sound familiar?
     
    For an interesting take on what is going on now in the economy, and how this looks compared to the .com crash, check out the following link:

    Hello all,
     
    I thought I would post this since it is relevant to my last post; check out the stats on jobseekers using Google.  The companies that move quickly on this info will have a huge advantage over the rest sharing candidates on the "Big 3" boards...if you need help to get there you can email or PM me; if I can't help you I can refer you to one of our 36 offices nationwide.  Below is a great article from our SEO/SEM partner and some eye opening stats.

  • Google Adwords Recruiting

    by on May 27, 2008

    Online Recruiting with Google Adwords

    Does anyone here use Google?? Raise your hand...OK that's pretty much everyone. While most of us use the most popular search engine out there to find a local restaurant or product; innovative employers from small to Fortune 500 companies are using Google for recruitment.

    How is that, you ask? Simple.  Use a text ad and sponsor the top or right side of search results that are relevant to your company, employment brand, and location.  (sample keywords might be RF Engineer with a geography around Irvine, CA.)

     

    By starting a keyword campaign with Google ...

Sure, a few of the big social networks have really taken off recently, but email is still by far the dominant and most practical platform for social connections ...

    E-mail Campaigns

     

    I thought I would get my blog off the ground with a quick discussion of email campaigns.  I have seen quite a few horrible ones come in my inbox and also have saved clients a fortune by ?tweaking? the email so that it maximizes the open and click-thru rates, etc.  Here are some tips if you are considering an email campaign for your company:

     

    • Copy COUNTS!!  The best way to increase your open rates for an email campaign is to have the body of the email in HTML format (and also revert to text if HTML is not ...

  • First Post!!!

    by on Jan. 24, 2008
    Hello Everyone!
     
    Welcome to my inaugural post! As such, I thought it would be fitting to introduce myself (briefly) and go over a few topics that I will be tackling in this blog.  I have been working as a consultant to the HR department for about 6 years now and I have a background in working with one of the Big 3 job boards.  My experience plus my dual degree in Business with a minor of Information Technology is where I draw my knowledge from.  I work in Orange County in California and if you have any questions for me ...
