Recruiter News Line

Jul 31, 2008 – The internet has made the job posting and job hunting process in many ways more convenient and efficient, enabling companies and individuals to expand geographical reach and to have access to dramatically improved communication tools. With dozens of job boards available however, the level of service is broadly uneven.

“Candidates are looking for simplicity and employers are looking to reduce costs…” says InovaHire Co-Founder Tanya Willette. “We have researched what candidates and employers like about job boards and improved on them; found out what they didn’t like about job boards and developed solutions to them; looked into future trends and included them in our technology.”

InovaHire’s new patent-pending web technology will allow them to host a job board that has real-time interviewing, via a webcam, capabilities. This technology will help to pre-qualify candidates without the need for a pricy plane ticket or long drive into the city.

Candidates and employers will benefit from multiple features including: a database search engine which promises both ease and accuracy; convenient and private communication tools; the ability to interview live in the privacy of a home or office; and a true representation of preference and ability through the creation of a professional profile.

Alongside their patent-pending technology, InovaHire will be working with industry leaders to offer additional tools and resources necessary for the success of an individual and the growth of a company.

While InovaHire won’t be releasing all of their job board secrets yet, Tanya says, “We are working around the clock with Webby Award winning design firm MegaStar Media to have our final site launched this Fall.” MegaStar Media has built over 3500 websites for big names like the Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC, Patti LaBelle and Wrangler Jeans.

To be one of the first to learn of InovaHire’s features and test their Beta site, you can log onto their website and join their Update List. They also offer dozens of free job search, live interview and career articles.

A new web-based job board service, www.SearchOregonJobs.com which seeks to connect employers and recruiters with Oregon’s qualified IT, Finance, Engineering and Administrative Candidates and Oregon, Washington job seekers was announced today by ProSource Network Recruiters, an Oregon recruiting, staffing and consulting company.

“It’s a unique service “that allows employers, job seekers and recruiters to cost effectively tap into a highly skilled and qualified local work force,” said Allan Ordway, ProSource Network, Inc. Executive Partner.

Unlike other job boards that focus on National career search, every job posting on the Search Oregon Jobs website is being offered by an Oregon or Metro Vancouver, Washington Employer. Jobs are also highly optimized for search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN and allows job postings to be shared and syndicated via RSS to sites such as Digg and Technorati. This gives the new Oregon web site online search exposure that will allow every job to rank within popular search engine results targeted for Oregon.

“The web based value proposition of this service is clear,” said Mr Ordway. The Free service allows for the posting of unlimited jobs and Oregon Job seekers can register for free. What this means is that employers, recruiters, staffing firms and temporary agencies can easily afford to post ads for all of their open positions while comparable postings on boards such as Monster, Career Builder and HotJobs cost between $250-$400 per month for just one ad. We are working to build www.SearchOregonJobs.com into a widely known and used resource for the Oregon career marketplace that serves Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard and Vancouver Washington employers hiring Top Oregon Talent and career seekers searching for Oregon Jobs.

Los Angeles – CU Business Networking, the largest online networking group for graduates of the University of Colorado, has launched a job board on one of its web sites. The board will allow CU graduates to post any job openings they have for free.

“This is a resource that I felt we needed to offer our members,” said Jim Malmberg, founder of CU Business Networking. “With the recent economic downturn, I’ve started receiving more and more inquiries from CU grads that are seeking new positions. Most of these inquiries are coming from people who have been laid off, or are facing a layoff, due to problems in the economy.”

Any graduate of the University of Colorado can join CU Business Networking for  free.  To use the job board, users need to register with the network at http://www.CUNetworking.NET. The job board is free to use; both for finding employment and for posting jobs.

In addition to the site mentioned above, the group maintains a bulletin board on Yahoo Groups which can be found at  http://www.CUNetworking.com, and a group on LinkedIn.

Postbetter, Inc., a provider of advertising job board and job post specialist services today introduced its’ “Ten things every recruiting professional needs to know about Millennials” list for professional hiring managers and recruiters. The informative list targets key job, career and personal issues relating to finding, hiring and retaining new talent coming into the workplace.

Postbetter feedback based on client hiring experiences provides the basis for the report. Julie Mattson and Jackie Nerhus of Katun Corporation in Minneapolis have this to offer: “Millennials are very engaged in their job and in the community, they like to have a voice in how things are done and look forward to giving and receiving frequent feedback.” Glen Gardner of The Vortechs Group, a tech recruiting company in Cincinnati, talks about connectivity:

“To find top performers I look for people who blog, who have a website, who publish on others blogs, participate in usergroups and use open source code.”

“We wanted to share some of the useful information we see on a daily basis with hiring managers and HR professionals,” said Tom Torresson, Postbetter CEO. “The Gen-Y, or Millennials, play hard, but they also work hard and are now making their mark in the workplace.”

Postbetter leverages years of data gathering from employers, employees and HR professionals to provide key recruitment services:
-Increase retention rates by attracting the right job candidates the first time.
-Branding client’s recruitment job postings in the job board environment.
-Help make the work of the hiring manager more efficient.
-Save recruitment cost on employment advertising and job postings while increasing their ROI.

The “Ten things every recruiting professional needs to know about Millennials” list may be found on Postbetter’s blog at http://postbetter.blogspot.com/

HOUSTON-KATY, TEXAS - Since 2003 www.BackgroundNow.com limited its business to serving background checks to business customers.  Three months ago that changed when the site added a Google search engine customized to index only pages relevant to background checks.

BackgroundNow.com, which emphasized security, exclusivity and protection of proprietary knowledge began revealing sources, research and guides.  The information supports background checks for individuals, employment background checks and introduces background checks very few people are aware of, such as FINRA.

Now over 950,000 pages are indexed by the search tool and keyword search refinements are shown above search results to help users search with more precision and locate the source they need.  For example, a search at www.BackgroundNow.com for Fresno County Court followed by a click on “Criminal Records” will refine the search to locate references and links to the Fresno’s online public access to their civil and criminal background checks.  It’s easy to use and rich in useful content.

Vanessa Dennis, a journalist at Cheezhead.com, picked up on the story and published “background check company demystifies court system”, which brought more people to www.BackgroundNow.com.  http://www.cheezhead.com/2008/07/09/ved-backgroundnow-ce ….  And INC, the entrepreneur’s magazine, has featured www.BackgroundNow.com at its website Inc.com several times since the shift and introduced more individuals and businesses to the unique background check resource.

The effect has been dramatic.  Users have flocked to the site and use of the background check search engine is increasing.  As of today, Alexa reports 495% traffic growth over 3-months and a www.BackgroundNow.com U.S. site traffic rank of #178,228 and rising.  That means people are getting answers.  There can be fear, mystery, misunderstanding and apprehension around background checks.  The background check search engine helps by giving people and businesses access to better information.

The task of how to record a phone interview has always involved connecting extra equipment to a phone, and then hoping everything works correctly to get a good quality recording. This isn’t always the case, as anyone who’s done it knows all too well. A new service, however, is now available which not only simplifies the task of how to record a phone interview, but gives the user the ability to do so from any phone - cellular or landline, and store the recorded interviews on a computer as an MP3 - all without the need for extra equipment, according to online resource Record Cell Phones.com (http://www.recordcellphones.com) which features the service.

“The Call Recorder Card service is the best option for anyone who needs to know the best way how to record a phone interview,” said a spokesperson for the site. “The user simply dials through the Call Recorder Card service using any phone - cell or landline - and the calls are digitally recorded for later playback or storage on a computer. The service can also work for incoming calls, so it’s very convenient. Once an interview is recorded, it can then be accessed either through the dial-in voicemail system, or accessed via the web and downloaded as an MP3.”

The Call Recorder Card service is available in pre-paid increments of 250 and 500 minute cards.

For more information on the Call Recorder Card service or how to record a phone interview, please visit Record Cell Phones on the web at: http://www.recordcellphones.com
