Message from our President

Happy Holidays!

Someone from CareerBuilder recently shared some very interesting information with me regarding social media use and mobile strategies usage for recruiters, candidates and client companies.  Data enabled Smartphone ownership is increasing each year and we all need to be exploring this trend as a potential opportunity for better engagement of new

clients and candidates.  Sixty percent of staffing industry clients and 41% of job seekers report owning a data enabled Smartphone with the most common use being email.  Here are some interesting statistics specific to Finance / Accounting users:

Type of Smartphone owned:  Blackberry 31%, Apple iPhone 14%

Sources of information used in the last 3 months:  Company websites 71%, Trade Association events 48%, Webinars 40%, Blogs 31%, Online video 30%, Social media sites 30%

Professional job seeker use of social media:  Facebook 57%, LinkedIn 45%, Twitter 10%, MySpace 13%, Digg 2%

Professional client use of social media in their professional %life:  LinkedIn 59%, Facebook 37%, Twitter 37%, YouTube 27%, Digg 16%, MySpace 16%

Age distribution of professional job seekers:  Millennial (<29) 13%, Gen X (29-43) 28%, Baby Boomers (44-62) 54%, Silent Generation (>62) 5%

What strategies can you come up with to better reach out to others?  Enjoy and have your best month ever!
