Recruiter News Line

Industry-Space announced earlier this week that they are finalizing the renaming of their staffing and recruiting company. They will now officially be known as Real Life Recruiting and all of their media/Internet locations will switch along with them to their respective addresses; http://www.realliferecruiting.com/. When Frank and his co-partner Davis decided to split ways, Frank wanted to make Davis’ idea his own. “Plus, there was a lot of misconception as to what service Industry-Space provided.”

They played around with the name for a few months and, “feel the alliteration will work wonders in promoting the company.” Frank Viarra, president, says jokingly. “Hopefully the increased commotion will allow us to help a lot more people find what they are looking for when it comes to employment.”

Real Life Recruiting is a staffing and recruiting agency that helps people find great jobs and businesses find the employees they need to succeed. They pride themselves on being real people while providing first-rate services to others. Their approach is to extensively interview both sides in order to narrow down exactly what each is looking for in the other. In this way, possible matches can happen.

“Industry-Space just didn’t have the draw we needed to be successful.” Frank said of the decision to rename, “Real Life Recruiting is more descriptive of who we are as well as what we do.”

Real Life Recruiting is located in Las Vegas, NV and concentrates primarily in that area, with a few accounts in other cities across the U.S. Staying local allows them to be a leader in their field and gives them access to quality relationships with the local businesses. Even though they’ve changed their name, they’ve used the same proven process since their start in 2003.

Michael Woodrow, Chief Operating Officer of Aspen Technology Labs, states, “We have received rave reviews from our customers for both the custom and the template job board solutions.  Our clients are thrilled that the job board technology allows them to optimize as well as measure their search engine results, and significantly lower, and often eliminate, expensive pay-per-click marketing campaigns, while increasing traffic.”  One customer stated, “there is no question that JobMount is a better mousetrap.  Our visitors literally doubled in three months because we started appearing in the top four results on Google and Yahoo for literally hundreds of key word combinations.  This allowed us to eliminate our pay-per-click budget.”

Due to the built-in SEO features, there is now an opportunity for many niche players to enhance their position or launch a new board. Existing Job Board owners can use the self-assessment guide or request a free SEO review from www.jobboardmount.com

Applicant Tree (http://www.applicanttree.com/)

, an internet job board that pays applicants each time their full resume is viewed, will now be a subsidiary of newly established parent company Three Stars Team (http://www.threestarsteam.com/).

Three Stars Team, an industry leader in their field, collects marketing leads through online job boards with the simple philosophy that an individual is more open to considering advertising offers while applying for a job than at any other time in his or her life. With advertising offers that are of keen interest to job seekers built into the application process, Three Stars is able to offer listing services to employers throughout the country at little or no cost. In addition, the associated advertising enables Three Stars to never have to charge applicants, keeping them in step with competitors.

Applicant Tree takes that philosophy one step further by actually paying job applicants for each full download of his or her resume. The ideology behind traditional recruitment services is that job applicants can be bought or traded as a commodity, but receive no reward for their talents and resources, which is at the very heart of the industry. To reverse this inequity, Applicant Tree charges a small amount to employers to view only the resumes that actually meet their requirements and then half of that amount will be passed directly on to the applicant. This is a huge cost savings to employers as the associated fees are a fraction typically paid to leading Internet job boards, and a veritable boon to applicants who have never had the opportunity to be paid for their job search before.

This approach will attract passive job seekers, i.e. those who are already comfortable at their present job, but who will also consider a more attractive offer should one be presented. With the option to be paid for their time, these individuals will be far more likely to post their resume than under the current non-paid model currently employed by most major job boards.

The day-to-day operations of Internet application service Power Applications will be handled at the corporate headquarters of parent company Three Stars Team, an online marketing company. With centralized operations, individual corporations will be able to draw knowledge from the expert staff of sister companies and improve overall service to clients and partners.

Power Applications serves small businesses by designing and hosting employment Web pages where potential employees can apply online. Businesses can continue to recruit new employees in a manner they are comfortable with, by posting on online job boards or in newspapers, but can then direct applicants from those ads to the online application. Results of the application are delivered in real time.

Each application contains advertising offers that provides these businesses with a unique revenue-sharing opportunity seamlessly rolled into their search for new employees. The advertising dollars generated by the applications both pays for the site and its upkeep as well as paying a portion back to the business. Consequently, not only are the services free and transparent, they actually infuse the business with new revenue.

The inclusion of targeted advertising within employment applications was pioneered by Three Stars Team based on the philosophy that an individual is more open to considering advertising offers while applying for a job than at any other time in his or her life. By selecting verticals that appeal to job seekers, Three Stars Team generates more revenue through this method than by traditional advertising. In turn, this represents tremendous earning potential for small businesses who utilize the services of Power Applications.

Internet marketing company Three Stars Team has merged with the Web based job board Career Network, and will now serve as the Web site’s parent company. The move by Three Stars Team is but one of many acquisitions the company has been involved with recently.

Three Stars Team, an industry leader in their field, collects marketing leads through their online job boards with the simple philosophy that an individual is more open to considering advertising offers while applying for a job than at any other time in his or her life. With advertising offers that are of keen interest to job seekers built into the application process, Three Stars Team is able to offer listing services to employers - via Career Network - throughout the country at no cost. In addition, the advertising enables Three Stars Team to never have to charge applicants, keeping them in step with competitors.

For employers, Career Network lists open employment positions on its site for free, and then networks those job ads by reprinting them in other media, such as newspapers and Craig’s List, to increase exposure and attract more applications than a typical employment listing will. This effectively multiplies the scope of each job ad to reach deeper into the base of applicants in the employers’ respective areas. These services are offered free because Career Network earns its revenue entirely through associated advertising just the same as all of Three Stars Team’s sites.

In the worldwide economic slump, which saw over 533,000 US workers lose their jobs in November alone, niche job boards are delivering value for both employers and job-hunters, competing increasingly strongly against the big employment sites.

Brendan Delaney, founder of our US media-oriented jobs board MediaJobs.net, believes that niche job boards offer employers access to stronger candidates. “Job boards connect them with smart and qualified candidates, who have done their due diligence planning their next career move or just finding a new job in this market climate.

“The big employment sites like Monster.com deliver the mass audience to employers but are steadily losing market share, that trend will continue. Savvier job seekers are increasingly foregoing the big employment sites in favor of a more targeted approach utilizing an ever-increasing number of niche job boards”.

Delaney’s belief that job boards are collectively capturing increasing market share is backed up by research from internet marketing specialist eMarketingSilo.com. Out of 3,900 HR professionals and recruiters, 84% said *niche sites* provide access to the best talent, while only 11% gave the nod to general-purpose recruitment sites.

Nearly 54% of respondents agreed in eMarketingSilo’s recent studythat geographic and *industry-specific*

job sites are most effective when searching for a job. Some 24% of job-seekers indicated their resume is posted on 1-2 job boards, with 29% posting resumes on 3-4 job boards and 18% posting on 5+ boards.

Delaney comments that even in the current dire economic climate “where the pie itself is temporarily shrinking, job boards that deliver value by connecting employers with talented candidates will get a bigger piece of the pie.”

JobBoarders.com’s Chris Russell observes that specialst boards which are both well-established and marketed, will have the upper-hand in current market conditions. “Smaller job boards can offer value over the big guys by offering better content and targeting their niche very specifically, simultaneously building a community, not just a job board.

Russell refers to approximately 40,000 job boards operating online in 2008. “i’ve seen stats that say anywhere from 4-20% of people now get hired this way.”

Delaney said his experience with Media Jobs Network and other specialist sites demonstrates that niche job boards attract quality candidates. “They know they are more likely to stand out on a targeted site than on a site catering to millions of general job seekers.”

That viewpoint is shared by Trip Young, Account Manager at The Q Works Group. Depending on the industry, I think niche job boards bring significant benefit over the traditional Monster/CareerBuilder.

Niche job boards are more difficult to identify, so the casual applicant most likely is not on such sites, so you have a tighter pool from which to target. From a candidate’s perspective, niche boards are also a great resource as their information does not get lost in the “flood” of resumes that Monster and CareerBuilder are known for.”

The next few months are going to be challenging, but promising too, for the job boards sector of online recruiting.

USTransferPricing.com, the leading transfer pricing site and eTaxJobs.com, the leading tax jobs site have joined forces to launch a new transfer pricing jobs board. The transfer pricing jobs board includes more than 180 positions, most with annual salaries of over $100 thousand and excellent benefits.
Lawyers, accountants, and economists with transfer pricing skills are likely to find opportunities for career advancement at highly-respected companies by visiting the transfer pricing jobs board, which can be found at www.USTransferPricing.com/

jobs.html. By a similar token, companies seeking talented transfer pricing professionals to join their team can post openings directly to the jobs board using a simple form.
Transfer pricing has been identified by international finance executives as the number one tax issue affecting their companies’ bottom lines. Because transfer pricing requires both financial and legal aptitude, the pool of available candidates to take on these challenges is limited. The transfer pricing jobs board is uniquely positioned to meet this need, matching qualified professionals with leading companies, government agencies, and other organizations.
The new transfer pricing jobs board brings together two of the leaders in their respective fields.
USTransferPricing.com, the leading transfer pricing web site, provides articles, a transfer pricing event calendar, legal and regulatory resources, and other tools relied upon by leading transfer pricing professionals. The site is produced by Global Business Information Strategies, Inc., the publisher of the Tax Director’s Guide to International Transfer Pricing, which is rapidly gaining recognition as the leading book on the subject.
eTaxJobs.com is the leading international tax jobs web site. Its technology powers the transfer pricing jobs board.
“We are very excited about this opportunity to work with eTaxJobs.com to create a jobs board for USTransferPricing.com,” said Ken Parker, President of Global Business Information Strategies, Inc., the publisher of USTransferPricing.com. “Chris Bale and his team at eTaxJobs have built the world’s largest and most user-friendly tax careers site and we are delighted to leverage their technology and expertise to serve our transfer pricing audience.”

“I am delighted to be working with Ken Parker, who is a highly regarded publisher within the Transfer Pricing and International Tax markets. Transfer Pricing specialists are able to move cross-border with ease and there are currently insufficient experienced practitioners in the global market to meet client demands. This partnership with USTransferPricing.com will allow US TP specialists to access both domestic and international opportunities ” said Chris Bale of eTaxJobs.com

Online career businesses can now add a lucrative revenue stream by incorporating the unique JOY Sales Assessment Tests ™ into their career website, resume website, job board, job bank or sales resume databases for automated sales applicant screening and sales assessment testing. Dan Joy, Inc., has announced a sales assessments technology licensing initiative - http://www.danjoy.com/

In-house or corporate resume database systems can also benefit from the same sales assessment tools and technology. Employers who want to hire good sales people are often deluged with thousands of sales resumes in response to their online employment ads. How can an employer tell if a job applicant can really sell? An easy option would be to integrate Sales Assessment Testing directly into a resume collection website. Dan Joy, Inc., offers easy integration of its cutting edge sales assessment tests with high volume in-house sales resume sites, company job boards, and corporate career sites.

According to Dan Joy, the CEO of Dan Joy, Inc., “The JOY Tests ™ of Total Sales Ability ™ go above and beyond the mundane psychological and personality tests by testing for Total Sales Ability ™ — the actual street smarts of Professional Selling. We test for Sales Prospecting Ability, Objection Handling Ability, Sales Closing Ability, Personality, Psychology and much more. These are the best Sales Tests on the planet”.

A hiring mistake can cost an employer up to $100,000 or more. Many employers are deluged with sales resumes, but have no way of knowing who can really sell. So, they often tend to hire someone with whom they “feel comfortable”

, who is “like them”, who “looks good”, or has “industry knowledge”. None of that necessarily means that the person can actually sell. The JOY Tests ™ of Total Sales Ability ™ can help reduce subjectivity and guesswork, and help employers make more objective hiring decisions.

Dan Joy, Inc., can also design custom tests for specific needs, create multilingual sales assessments, and convert legacy (paper and pencil) tests to their online versions. Their fully integrated online sales testing system organizes, tracks, updates and saves the testing progress, scores, etc., and helps the employer monitor and follow-up easily, even for a very large number of candidates. Employers can save hours of interviewing time by using their Screening Test to filter out the non-candidates, then inviting only the shortlisted top candidates to an actual interview. For a limited time only, employers can receive 10 FREE Sales Assessments (Screening Tests) at http://www.danjoy.com/
