ERecruiting with Facebook Ads

by

Before the end of 2011, Facebook, the world’s largest and most popular social networking platform will reach 1 billion users. The United States has over 154 million Facebook users, the largest of any country.  One of the simplest and easiest recruiting methodologies is to go where the people are when searching for talent.

The American Job Vacancy Act

by

For businesses, it is just too difficult to hire. Since Obama’s speech on the “American Job Act” (September 8th) the Republicans and Democrats in Congress and the Media have been vigorously debating what is the “common sense” approach to job creation. Yes, yes, more jobs. However, there are already some 4 million jobs already open right now. How can we create more jobs if we are unable to fill the current job openings? When addressing America’s top economic concern, unemployment, we must start with the hiring process. ”More than 80% of the small businesses we survey (those with fewer than 2,500 employees) tell us they are struggling to find great talent,” reports Josh Bersin, President and CEO of Bersin & Associates. Unless we make hiring easy, any Job Creation Act is going to turn into a Job Vacancy Act.

So what’s changed?
