NAS to Reveal Metric and SEO Secrets that can Boost Recruiting ROI

Webinar will teach tools and techniques to guide sourcing decisions

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) August 31, 2009 – NAS Interactive, a division of NAS Recruitment Communications, will present “Making Your Career Site Work for You: Let Metrics Guide Your Sourcing Strategy,” a special webinar to be hosted Wednesday, September 16th at 2:00 p.m. EST.

Caroline Slomski, Interactive Marketing Strategist, and Kevin Hawkins, National Internet Strategist for NAS, will co-host the hour-long presentation. Those attending the session will learn how many HR organizations are already successfully combining powerful new metric tools—tools that can map candidate activity through to application—with SEO techniques to increase their return on media investment and drive more qualified candidates to apply. All at a fraction of what most companies invest in print ads and online postings.

“Until recently, HR organizations relied heavily on media feedback and candidate self-sourcing tools to guide their sourcing decisions,” said Slomski. “However, most media metrics only report the number of clicks, impressions and other means of measuring initial engagement. And candidate self-sourcing—asking candidates to identify what source drove them to the application on a form within the ATS—offers organizations unreliable information at best. Our metrics can track through to the ATS, giving our clients a far more reliable method of source tracking than media feedback or an aided drop-down box.

“Tools like our Total Source Tracker help clients find out if the media sources they are paying for are converting the highest number of completed applications, or if there are other sources—like job aggregators or search engine traffic—that are giving them better results. If so, knowing how to optimize your site to take advantage of this traffic can help you maximize your ROI.”
To register for the September 16th webinar presentation, or to learn more about NAS’ comprehensive metrics tools, including Total Source Tracker, please contact Caroline Slomski at cslomski@nasrecruitment.com.

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.
