Vice President,

This month, Karin talks about Search Visibility.

A few months back in this column, one of my colleagues addressed the increasing value of search marketing and more specifically, job optimization, to a company's sourcing & recruiting toolkit. Better ROI, more financial flexibility, improved targeting capabilities and job seekers flocking to search engines in droves have enticed many organizations, and quite possibly your own, to give search, especially pay-per-click (PPC) search, a place in your candidate attraction strategy.

Social media as part of
Employer Brand strategy?

Success Story

Astra Zeneca

AstraZeneca recognized they needed a stronger presence in the Web 2.0 arena, especially within the world of Social Networking, if they wanted to be top of mind with job seekers in today's recruitment space. They commissioned TMP to develop a Facebook page but after 2 months only had 16 fans. They needed to drive more traffic to the page.

INDUSTRY UPDATE:
Technology

Looking Back and Ahead

In some respects 2009 wasn't all bad for technology clients as Money magazine ranked three of the Top Ten Best Jobs in America under the technology umbrella including Systems Engineer at #1, IT Project Manager at #5, and Network Security Consultant at #8(1). This is good news for technology companies wanting to inspire college graduates to start early in technology career paths.

Looking ahead at 2010, positions are estimated to reach similar levels going back one year ago, and will impact certain markets globally, although Technology will not be out of the woods yet in 2010.
