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.”
