Blog Post: First Comes ENGAGEMENT...Then Comes RECRUITMENT!

Have you seen our Facebook Fan Page this week? Our job seeker newsletter went out on Tuesday and the lead conversation was titled, "ENGAGE IN THE PAGE!", and engage they did! We gained over 30 fans that day and a ton of local, qualified job seekers have posted comments about what they are looking for. They are also reaching out in this new media fashion and soliciting help, guidance, and feedback.

Whether or not you are currently hiring, this is such a wonderful forum to be part of so you can engage in conversations with future candidates. What seems like basic career advice to some is very hard to come by information to others. Perhaps it is as simple as sharing a story of hope in how you might know someone who has landed a job in this economy, or maybe you have recently hired and you can share something specific that the candidate you hired possessed that afforded them the opportunity to rise to the top. This simple information could help others to brainstorm and consider situations and opportunities that otherwise might not have occurred to them.

I believe in today's job market it's a good bet that we all know at least one person close to us that is unemployed and this is a great way to personally make a difference and help them by having a place full of great relevant local contributions for them to turn to. I am excited to be sharing our Fan Page with the community as a place for job seekers to engage with each other and for employers and recruiters to also chime in and share real world examples and advice.

Please take a minute and if you have not already done so, BECOME A FAN, stay engaged, join a conversation, or even start one! Over the last several months that we have been promoting our fan page  I have received a lot of great feedback from the community as job seekers and employers are grateful to have this new media forum to engage in.

Let's together take it to the next level and get the page jumpin! South Florida Job Seekers are waiting to ENGAGE WITH YOU!
