Meet today's consumers. Within a few minutes, they have done some banking, booked a flight and paid a few bills. What used to take half a day driving all over town, now takes only a few minutes.  How do today's consumers do it all so efficiently?  The answer - “Emerging Technology.”  Technology – especially The Internet- has completely changed the way consumers work with service, product providers, and even with recruitment companies.

 Today, the Internet and the popularity of a phenomenon called “social networking” has altered the balance between job hunters and employers and transformed the future of the recruitment industry by opening new doors for employers and job seekers to connect in ways not possible before. This form of networking began primarily as a medium to allow individuals with similar interests to interact on a social level, but has since evolved to give businesses and professionals a place to connect, network and grow their companies and careers. In a few minutes time EMPLOYERS, CANDIDATES and RECRUITERS can make a much higher quality "first interview" decision to pursue the candidate or company for employment or not.

It might sound like it has become much easier for organizations to find and recruit precisely the right person for any given job opening. However, the reality is that the Technology has created a new challenge for recruiters, employers and candidates. While the haystack is more convenient than it used to be, it is growing rapidly, and finding the needle is as difficult as ever. Effective recruiting requires two components: “reach” (how many people are in your database?) and “relationship” (how well do you know them?). Emerging technologies make it possible to expand both reach and relationship, making it more efficient and cost-effective to hire the best candidates.

For over two decades, Adams Inc has been uniquely focused on Working at the Speed of Now strengthening the intersection between reach and relationship technologies to forge a new frontier for candidate relationship management in the financial recruiting market. While we call it our brand promise, our clients just call it effective.

This month Adams, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of two new elements to our recruitment tool set - the Adams E-Card and the Adams JobTube.

The Adams E-Card is our version of an employer branded video with interactive variable data. It’s our attempt to be seen as well as heard thus increasing our clients ability to land and/or fill a critical position in today’s competitive job market. This online brochure concept of sorts will help Adams connect employers with top talent using the dynamic world of multi-media. The e-card will also provide a stage to showcase our own Adams culture and difference. You can check out the Adams e-card at www.adamsecard.com.

And if a picture can speak a thousand words just think about what a video can do! The new Adams JobTube is a video email feature populated with Top Candidates and Employers. You can get the highlights on HOT companies and HOT candidates personally presented by Adams own recruitment pros sent to you via email.
