Employers that use our services either promote their entire operations via profiles or individual jobs through postings on our highlighted job page or help wanted now page. We also have our own applicant tracking system specifically designed for seasonal employers called Staffing Center.

Thoughts on the Recession and Jobs

I keep reading and hearing about the doom and gloom of this economy, and that jobs are being lost faster than they are being created, (and the world is falling apart, well....).

I am not a member, but have decided to join. I think networking in our community is always beneficial. I am pretty new to recruiting so the opportunity to learn from others is always welcome.

Hope you have a great time at Kennedy.

If you decide to try a NWRA event. Let me know and I will meet up with you there.

Hi Kari,

Nice meeting you on Recruiting Blogs. The site is a great place to network and share ideas, etc.

Many of the recruiters on this blog utilize my free job board called Value Recruiting Network. Check it out at www.valuerecruitingnetwork.com

If you're interested in posting job orders on the site, resumes will be emailed directly to you from any job seekers that reply to your posting.

I'd be happy to set you up with a free membership so you can post an unlimited number of jobs.

Enjoy the blog!

Ken Keating
