First Blog of 2010

OK its the 26th of Jan and this is my first blog of the new year so let's begin with Happy New Year everyone ( better late than never ) so what have we got to look forward to this year. Well the worst day of the year is behind us apparently, depends on what you look for in average day, the snow has gone for now but I suspect that here is more on the way and once again the country is held up as a laughing stock because people cannot even get to work.

Anyone enough editorial lets get to the meet of things. I have started a new job as International Business Development Manager with a group of job boards called www.tipopjob.com check it out 1 generic board, 35 industry specific boards and a network that covers 83 countries not bad hey !!
The deal is that as job seekers start to look for jobs and companies start to hire again ( BTW today is the day that we emerge from recession again !!) people are going to change the way that they search job boards and other methods of on line recruitment. Social media is here to stay I know of 2 FTSE 100 companies using a combination of Twitter and Linked in to post jobs for free and they would appear to be getting a god response judging by the number of vacancies they are posting.
Targeting the job seekers you are looking for is the next step in on line recruitment. You can get many candidates fro a number of sources and there are many ATS solutions that will enable you to manager the expectations of job seekers and communicate with candidates allow on line screening etc etc etc.
However if you put your vacancy where the job seekers you are looking for is looking for a ob you get better response, less wastage, your money goes further and the candidates you get are the ones who want to do the job you are looking to fill. Sounds good to me and it should to you. Want more information call me on 0044 9776 381502 Have a great day.
