Our Extreme Makeover |
|
 Our Newsletter, formerly known as NewOffice News, has experienced an extreme makeover this month! Our fresh new style and bold colors reflect the Web 2.0 fashion trends that you will see adopted on our www.new-hire.com home page before the start of 2010.
The new name of our newsletter acknowledges that the majority of our customers now know us as the providers of NewHire Candidate Management & Applicant Tracking software, and not by our corporate parent name (New Office Temps, Ltd).
But don’t worry, we haven’t abandoned our (Chicago) roots. If you need someone who can work during the busy times, someone who can get you through the ups, and not burden you through the downs…(and you’re in ChicagoLand), give us a shout (or call: 312-923-0054) and we’ll send the right person from our pool of talented, tested, tried-and-true temps.
Even though our look has been updated, you can continue to expect the same interesting and timely articles with tips and links to real world hiring solutions. There are also some new features we hope you will enjoy.
Each issue will highlight a NewHire client and an open position they are recruiting for. We are working with companies that provide everything form child care to solar cell technology, from concrete floors to music jingles – it’s not quiet A to Z but it comes pretty close.
Additionally, you can find a link to President Chuck Smith’s blog: Ask Chuck!. We invite you to read it, pass it on and of course comment!

The Sassy World of Social Networking: |
|
 Candidates are doing it too. They are finding out about employers’ reputations using the very same social networking tools.
Not long ago we were contacted by a candidate who was through a second round of interviews at a manufacturing firm. He called to let us know that he was no longer interested in the opportunity. Why? He had found a former employee using his social network, and enquired about the employer. He reported to us that he had heard enough negative information to cause him to withdraw from consideration for the job!
Here is another scary one: check out a website called: www.jobvent.com. This site is filled with postings from employees venting about their employer. Granted, disgruntled employees are not a reliable source of information but…damage is done to the employer reputation in the eyes of the prospective hires. The take away: Candidates are talking about employers – publicly.
So remember that your recruitment advertising and hiring process touch lots of candidate and even some potential customers. As you recruit, be as mindful of your corporate image and value proposition as you are in every other marketing communication you use.
Employers are also using social networking to attract candidates to open positions. This can be a cost effective strategy that dovetails with your traditional recruitment advertising and your corporate job board. To learn more about how NewHire is able to take advantage of this newest arrow in the quiver – join us for an upcoming webinar:
