Jobs in Pods: social media recruiting

Use LinkedIn to create an alumni group

One of the easiest and free ways to utilize LinkedIn for recruiting is an alumni group for your company. Here’s a great example of one: the Modem Media Alumni Group. If your company doesnt have one yet have one of your recruiters set up a group. Then actively promote it among your current employees and word [...]

Who’s on Facebook?

The demographics of facebook are always interesting to study. By far the largest population are those people 18-21. But lookout, the fastest growing population is 30 years and older. Matt Dickman has a great ebook on facebook demographics, check it out.       

The ecommerce recruiter speaks

Bill Vick has a great interview today with one of recruitment’s most innovative players, Harry Joiner. Although he is not in HR, Harry has a great perspective on the new social media tools and technologies which fuel his candidate pipeline. Every recruiter whether they are third party or corporate should heed his advice. In this [...]

New pricing

We’ve adjusted our pricing structure slightly to reflect some changes here at Jobs in Pods. Effective immediately we will have 2 tiers of prices based on the number of people we interview for each jobcast. A “one on one” interview now costs $349 while a jobcast with 2-3 of your employees now will cost $399. The [...]

Sodexo and social media

Apparently some employers are getting this social media thing. Sodexo today announced 4 new micro-sites targeting specific candidates. Nothing earth shattering about that except when you visit them you see what they are doing in social media via Youtube, facebook, LinkedIn even Twitter. We love the fact they are promoting these pages on their sites [...]

I'm a blogger, podcaster and the owner of my own job board network. Social Media is taking over and I started this site as a way for those seeking work in the social media industry to find jobs and be found.

About Chris Russell

I am a 10 year veteran of the online recruiting industry. In 1999 I started AllCountyJobs.com LLC , a network of regional job boards for job seekers in CT, NY, MA and RI. Today I still manage that business, I run 2 other social networks: Secrets of the Job Hunt and Job Boarders, and I started the first ever podcast show for employers.

It's called Jobs in Pods and its changing the way companies talk to candidates.

Podcasters wanted

Here's an interesting story; Are you a podcaster looking to promote your show? If so, we’ve got an interesting opportunity for you. This month we thought it would be a fun experiment (and would save a few dollars) to give our readers the chance to help create the podcast edition of Blogger & Podcaster Magazine (each story is turned into an audio podcast, so it can be listened to instead of read.)… Continue

According to Read/Write/Web: A community manager can do many things (see below) but the most succinct definition of the role that we can offer is this. A community manager is someone who communicates with a company's users/customers, development team and executives and other stake holders in order to clarify and amplify the work of all parties. They probably provide customer service, highlight best use-cases of a product, make first contact in some potential business partnerships and increase t… Continue

Thanks Chris and thank you for starting a social media focused job board. Probably one of the fastest growing niches that isn't directly targeted as much as it should.
