Podcast Your Jobs |
TRUMBULL, Conn., May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- HR managers are always looking
for memorable ways to advertise their jobs. Now a new online recruiting
tool may be just what they seek.
JobsinPods.com is a unique service that brings jobs and podcasts
together. The site, which is also a blog, advertises your jobs through
audio podcast interviews which they conduct over the phone with your HR
staff & employees.
During each interview you'll be asked the kind of questions that job
seekers want answers to. Questions like: What's it like to work there? What
kind of perks do you offer? How do you encourage employee growth? You'll
then talk about the jobs you're hiring for and how to apply. Each interview
is recorded and published on http://JobsinPods.com and sent to other
podcast sites including iTunes. Employers are also given a feed of their
own interviews which they can publish on their web site.
"Recruiting is marketing", says Chris Russell, the founder of Jobs in
Pods. "We allow employers to bring their jobs to life and connect with job
seekers in ways the traditional job description can't touch", he adds.
"This is a strategic marketing tool for forward thinking employers who want
to stand out in the job market."
Russell contends that today's generation of job seekers require a
different approach to recruiting. "They don't like dull, corporate-speak.
They require unique and creative methods of communication. iPods are also
part of their daily life and any company which uses Jobs in Pods will have
their podcasts available for download on the iTunes site."
HR professionals agree. "This is a natural way for us to increase our
employment branding", says Martin Burns, Recruiting Manager at ZoomInfo in
Waltham, Massachusetts. "For employers in general, this is a great way to
reach a broad audience. It's quick and painless, and it's much easier to
convey passion about a workplace verbally as opposed to in a print job ad".
It's also easy. There's no software to learn and no technical knowledge
needed. Each interview takes about 15 to 20 minutes and participants are
given an informal script to prepare. "We do all the work," says Russell.
There's actually a name for this process -- Jobcasting. Companies such
as Microsoft and Accenture have already discovered it's a unique and
memorable way to promote their employment brand. Russell is betting that
Jobs in Pods will do the same for other companies.
