SHRM's new branding campaign
Labels: SHRM
Party's over for Monster
According to an article in the latest Workforce Magazine, Monster wanted to lay low this year and concentrate on its booth. Director of Marketing, Kerry Talbot was quoted saying, "We decided to focus on deepened conversations at our booth. (Attendees) have expressed demand for more product focus."
The article goes on to speculate that perhaps Monster is feeling pressure from niche job boards and is cutting back while prepping for a sale of the company. Their new president, Sal Iannuzzi, just guided a previous company, Symbol Technologies, through a sale. Monster's new CFO is also from Symbol Tech. Hmmm. I smell 4 sale signs...Monster of course, declined to comment on the rumours.
Great San Francisco jobs await you at San Fran Jobs.

Battle of the job posting products
I went to the SmartPost site to see what job boards they have but alas, they dont list them. They just claim its the "largest media network". It would be nice if they list all of the sites they use. I give props to Jobtarget because they list every site you can post to.
Jobtarget will have some announcements at the upcoming SHRM convention and I'll be doing a podcast with one of their reps to get their take on this new job posting product.

More job posting fees coming to Craigslist
Craigslist, a popular online network of free classified advertisements, has proposed a $25 fee to post an opening on its job postings page in Sacramento and three other metropolitan areas.
The 12-year-old company first charged a $25 fee in San Francisco in 1998, adding the fee in Los Angeles and New York in 2004. It has since added the fee in Boston, San Diego, Seattle and Washington, D.C. The fee has climbed to $75 in San Francisco and remains $25 in the other six cities.
The Sacramento site first launched in October 2000 and is among the company's busiest sites. Sacramento ranks 13th by number of page views. The city ranks sixth based on page views per capita, Buckmaster said.
In each case, craigslist proposed the fee after receiving requests from users who were concerned about the quality of some of the job ads on a particular site, he said.
"A big part of it is when we start hearing complaints from users and requests that a fee be considered," Buckmaster said.
Get-rich-quick schemes, multilevel marketing and "various things that look like job postings but really aren't" are mostly absent from job boards on sites with a fee, he said.
Since craigslist started charging for job postings in other cities, company officials say they consistently hear that the paid job boards are more useful for employers and job-seekers. In each case when fees were instituted, job ads dropped significantly initially, but the volume quickly rebounded, doubling and in some cases tripling, according to craigslist.

Transparency in Recruiting Blogs
Take a look around today's public market in Recruiting. The pros are quickly learning to make candidates a living breathing part of a network, allies in pursuit of a larger goal. While this is not new, it used to be a back office experience. Blogging brings the Recruiter to center stage.
There's a mercenary reason for using public disclosure as a tool. It's simple. The technique attracts candidates by making the Recruiter (and therefore the company) more approachable. Every time I talk to Dennis Smith, this is the gospel that he preaches.
It's all about Recruitment by attraction, the fundamental principle of Employment Branding.
I think this sums up the way recruiting 2.0 is changing the ways we recruit. If you dont know about Dennis Smith yet then you should. His blog, Wirelessjobs.com is a magnet for the types of talent he recruits. It lets him establish a relationship with candidates. It provides openness and transparency. It humanizes his employer (T-mobile).
And most importantly he hires people that contact him through the blog.
If you are a recruiter who isnt blogging yet, dont you think its time you should?
Experience.com provides information on entry level jobs.
