Keep your Business on the Move with Compelling Transit Ads.
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
Big, splashy messages attract attention. And since transit advertising is less costly than any other media, it is quickly engaging the ad budget dollars of financially-savvy companies in every industry.
With transit ads, your message is most likely performing for a captive audience. Commuters sitting in rush-hour traffic are exposed to the same billboards five days a week. Retail customers stand and wait as messages trail along the bottom of the cash-register price-point readout. Public transportation riders read the same posters on the bus shelter and inside the bus over and over and over again.

NAS and SimplyHired to Offer Tips for Maximizing Draw from Job Aggregators
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
Webinar will teach strategies that help you compete for talent on today’s hot job sites.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 22, 2009 –NAS Interactive, a division of NAS Recruitment Communications, announced that it will team up with SimplyHired to present “Maximize Your Candidate Engagement through Job Aggregators,” a special webinar to be hosted Tuesday, July 7th at 2:00 p.m. EST.
Caroline Slomski, National Internet Strategist for NAS, and Felicia Jamin, Manager of Agency Relations for SimplyHired, will co-host the hour-long presentation. Attendees will learn how HR organizations can maximize the power of job-centric search engines and the strategies that can put their jobs in front of candidates more efficiently and economically.
“Online activity trends among job seekers are rapidly changing. More and more, they’re turning to job aggregators like SimplyHired because of its ability to streamline the job search process,” said Slomski. “Knowing how to position your jobs to be seen on these sites through strategies like pay-per-click is imperative for organizations today.”
Aggregators collect job postings from databases across the Web, including employer websites, traditional job boards like Monster and CareerBuilder, and others. For candidates, aggregators offer seekers the chance to see positions from multiple organizations and sources served up at a single site. NAS has found that job aggregators provide significant traffic to client career sites and can be an essential component to companies’ recruitment marketing strategy. Webinar participants will learn strategies that can help them improve their rankings and provide cost-effective results.
“Organizations are searching for innovative advertising options that are measurable and extremely cost-effective,” Slomski remarked, “and they’ll find it in search engine strategies like the ones we will present. These are strategies that will be recruitment staples in years to come, and organizations that want to be competitive when the economy rebounds need to get on board now.”

Industry Expert to Speak at 2009 SHRM Annual Conference
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 15, 2009 – NAS Recruitment Communications announced today that on Monday, June 29 at the SHRM Annual Conference in New Orleans, Matthew Adam, Vice President and Chief Talent Strategist, will conduct a seminar illustrating how leading organizations are developing intuitive, experiential websites that connect with quality candidates.
Today’s candidates are making assumptions about an organization and its employment opportunities based on what they find on the website. With that realization, Adam will offer “How Your Website Can Be Your #1 Recruiting Tool,” a road map to successfully designing and evolving a company’s site with the candidate experience in mind.
“Even in this economic downturn,” Adam said, “smart organizations are continuing to evolve their website experience to attract and connect with A-level talent. The reality is that a site designed a couple of years ago will most likely not meet the evolving and accelerated expectations of today’s candidate. This program is designed to shed light on how candidates interact with websites and what your site needs to lock them in.”
Adam is a recruitment strategy consultant with over 14 years of professional experience with both Fortune 500 companies and small start-ups. An author and experienced keynote speaker, he will continue to offer his insight at regional and national conferences throughout 2009.

Direct Mail takes center stage as a successful recruitment tool.
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 11, 2009 – Even in today’s world of electronic communications, the tried and true method of direct mail can be an advantageous strategy in recruiting talent. This was the case when NAS Recruitment Communications, a leader in human resources solutions, provided client Franklin Square Hospital − MedStar with a successful direct mail campaign resulting in the hiring of an exceptional candidate for a hard-to-fill position.
“Franklin Square Hospital was looking for a Nuclear Medicine Supervisor, a position that required both technical expertise and a strong leadership background,” said Tara Twomley, Account Manager at NAS Atlanta. “We suggested using a direct mail postcard that could be personalized to each recipient, a technique that has been shown to dramatically improve response. Variable data mailings are just one of many print and interactive techniques NAS utilizes to help clients achieve positive results.”
The mailing was sent to 2,000 prospective candidates. The results were immediate and, according to the client, “incredible.” Bonnie Cohen-Finch, Recruitment Specialist for Franklin Square Hospital – MedStar, said, “We received five wonderful candidates to interview and hired one of them for the position. We would definitely use this option again. The responses from the direct mailers came in very quickly and all of the candidates were qualified.”

DO THE RIGHT THING RIGHT!
Take time to do things right the first time. This will save you time in the end. Doing the right thing is effectiveness; doing things right is efficiency. Focus first on effectiveness (identifying what is the right thing to do), then concentrate on efficiency (doing it right). If you rush through something you may have to spend time redoing it later. So spend time doing things right!

NAS takes Search Engine Optimization and Marketing for Recruitment Mobile - Job Search on Mobile Devices Increasing
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) June 1, 2009 – Your next job applicant may find your employment opportunity by phone, say the Search Engine Marketing Specialists at NAS Interactive. Studies show an increase in the number of searches from job seekers using their mobile devices. Out of all cell phone users, on an average day, 58% of adults use their devices, including PDAs, for at least one non-voice data application, such as text, email, photos, maps or directions, or completing a job application.
“The demographics for iPhone users are very compelling,” said Kevin Hawkins, NAS Interactive Strategist. “We see a marked increase in traffic from mobile devices in industries such as Banking, Technology and Healthcare, where nearly 22.4 million U.S. mobile users are using their devices to go on the Web.
Today, despite the global economic downturn, the demand for mobile broadband is on the rise. Mobile experts indicate that there will be more than 1 billion mobile broadband users by 2013 and our clients need to be ‘mobile ready.’”
Hawkins and members of NAS Smart Clicks Center, the firm’s Search Engine Marketing team, are already preparing for the next recruitment trend, studying and developing optimized mobile-ready websites and targeted campaigns designed to extend the reach of text and image campaigns to mobile devices with full HTML Internet browsers, such as the T-Mobile G1 and Apple iPhone.
“This new option will allow our clients to display their Web pages and search engine ads specifically on these devices; deliver mobile-specific calls to action and reach their audience when they're on the go; and get separate performance reporting so they can more effectively reach target audiences with the right message at the right time, ” said Hawkins.
When combined with a comprehensive measurement tool like Total Source Tracker, NAS can identify page traffic and search engine campaigns that successfully target mobile users by measuring how many individuals apply for jobs while using a mobile device.
