Interactive Day Produces Positive Results
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
NAS Event Helps Entertainment Giant with Talent Search Techniques.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) August 6, 2009 – NAS Recruitment Communications recently hosted an Interactive Day with HMV, one of Canada’s largest retailers of music and games. The goal was to analyze HMV’s current online posting strategies and provide a fresh approach that would result in quality talent acquisition.
The one-day session, involving select job boards in Canada plus personnel from NAS and HMV, provided an opportunity to meet a wide range of interactive providers and learn more about their product offerings, effectiveness and geographical strengths. The invitation prompted interactive providers to think outside the box and offer solutions appropriate to HMV’s unique recruitment needs and challenges. This proactive and structured approach also allowed NAS to make recommendations based on recruitment best practices and lend its expertise with contract negotiations.
“In a tight economy and in an evolving recruitment landscape, it is necessary to help our clients identify online products and services that work around their budgets, while providing them with the best return on investment,” said Franz Yap, Director of Business Development for NAS Toronto. “With so many innovative online products and services out there, it is important for us to partner with our clients and help them understand which sites best address their recruitment needs and challenges. Hosting an Interactive Day with HMV allowed our client to make more informed decisions with regards to their online spend.
“In the end, the Interactive Day was very successful,” Yap continued, “in determining the best online solution for our client. It was a day of discovery, learning and innovation for everyone.”

Smart HR Organizations Investing in More Comprehensive Tools for Measuring ROI
Posted by Laura McPeck, Director of Total Quality, Business Development
Media source tracking pinpoints effective channels for applicants.
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) August 3, 2009 – To maximize recruitment budgets during the economic downturn, many HR organizations are investing in better media tracking methods to help pinpoint the most effective media channels for specific job families, according to NAS Interactive, a division of NAS Recruitment Communications.
“The word is getting around as HR organizations that use tools such as our Total Source Tracker are able to identify what sources drive the highest volume of applicants,” says Caroline Slomski, Interactive Marketing Strategist for NAS.
NAS’ Total Source Tracker allows HR organization to measure media effectiveness by position advertised or job title, “tracking” a candidate’s response to a given media through to completed application—drilling deeper than typical media measurement sources or methods that require applicants to select from a drop down list of media within the applicant tracking system.
Millions of job seekers use the Internet every day to look for jobs so, on the surface it would seem a job board would be the ideal place for job postings. Most HR organizations rely on job board reports to measure effectiveness. These reports provide a good snapshot of activity, but fail to measure real results—completed applications in the ATS.
“What Total Source Tracker gives organizations is the opportunity to make informed decisions based on the actual results of the media buys—the follow through—rather than basing decisions on the candidate’s initial response,” says Patty Van Leer, Senior Vice President of Interactive. “It helps HR make informed decisions on how to buy more effectively, shift dollars to channels that are outperforming others, use media sources that can help them reach their intended audience rather than post every job to the same sites.
“Choosing the right channel to attract the right candidates is essential, but next to impossible if you don't have the tracking in place to measure response on each channel —online AND offline,” adds Slomski.
“Media trends change quickly and social networking is playing more of a role in how HR sources candidates. Total Source Tracker enables organizations to react to changes in the landscape as they occur, and modify their media plans to reach specific positions and to validate their return on investment.”
“These are the organizations that will have a real advantage on the competition for talent when the economy turns around.”
