Recruiter News Line

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.

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.
