Increase Social Engagement on your Facebook Career Page

A Facebook Career Page allows you to tap into the largest human database of all time. With 901 million users, Facebook's reach can't be matched by any other social, or recruitment, tool. A Facebook Career Page also allows you to  engage your fan base.  

So, how should you engage your consumer base?

Navigation is key to a successful Career Site

When building out your Career Site, it’s important to think about how candidates will navigate all the great content that you’ve created.  The strategy of “publish and pray” will do little to inspire candidates to apply to your organization and make the decision that they want to work for your company.

Just like any website, the Career Site can often become an albatross that can become unwieldy and unmanageable.  With much of the thought into information flow and site design…

On An Others-Based Reputation

I'm a no excuses kind of guy, I really am. I love sports (die-hard Celtics fan, born and raised in So Cal), and I'm just not the kind of fan to blame losses on officiating or injuries as some fans do. Bad call at the end of the game cost you the W? Maybe you should've built up a bigger lead before the end of the 4th quarter. Your starting center goes down with a knee injury in Game 6 of the Finals (a la Kendrick…

Who works the hardest at your organization?

I recently met with an exhausted management executive who expressed a belief in a new office phenomenon that I had never really considered:

Reminder: Dont Play the Numbers, Build the Relationships

Plato, a great philosopher, student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle called the study of numbers the highest level of knowledge. Numbers can be divided into groups, demonstrate relationships and are used in religion, superstition and mythology.  Numbers have been identified as the purest form of communication that crosses the boundaries of languages, understanding and perception.  Numbers are woven into every aspect of humankind and critical to life on earth.  But have you ever been…

By Jennifer Brownell, Managing Director, Q4B

In the current issue of Fast Company that features the 100 most creative people in business (and no I did not make the list for the fourth year in a row) the word hyphenate was used to describe Ceelo Green and defines it as a “trendy marker for success, a strung-together mash up of titles made mandatory when no single job description suffices to describe a certain someone’s magnificence.”
