Toronto, ON (PRWEB) April 23, 2012

John Ciampi, President of Preptel, will guest star on the live ‘Get Hired Fast Track’ show, on April 25, 2012, at 6:00PM PDT to discuss computer analysis and optimization of resumes. ‘Get Hired Fast Track,’ broadcast weekly on Vokle, is hosted by Paul Hill (http://www.transitiontohired.com/about-paul/) job search expert and author of The Panic Free Job Search, Unleash The Power of the Web and Social Networking to Get Hired (htttp://http://www.PanicFreeJobSearch.com).The show focuses on helping job hunters get hired by investigating and reporting on new trends and technologies in job search.

“The biggest frustrations for job hunters who apply to jobs through online postings are the lack of interviews and the lack of follow-up by employers.” said Paul Hill the host of the show. In today’s automated employer world, the applicant’s resume must first get through a computer screen to be selected. The probability of being selected for an interview is very low if an applicant’s resume is not formatted properly and does not contain the right words. “Computers have a very specific way that they look at resumes,” said Jon Ciampi, the founder of California-based Preptel

“As a career and job search coach, an innovation that can be used to markedly increase the number of interviews for a job hunter is worth investigating.” Hill said. “Even though job hunters understand the importance today of using social media, and social networking, LinkedIn, facebook and twitter for example, most job seekers still fall back on applying to jobs online as their job search plan. Unfortunately “clicking and sending” a non-optimized resume on the Internet has a low probability of success.”

The ‘Get Hired Fast Track’ show on April 25 will address the following:

– How job hunters can optimize their resumes to get more interviews?
– How applying Resumeter analysis results to a resume can substantially increase the probability of getting an interview?

TORONTO, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Randstad Canada continues to distinguish itself as a “Best Workplace in Canada”

Randstad Canada, the country’s leader in staffing, recruitment and HR Services, is pleased to announce it has been recognized as a “Best Workplace in Canada” by the Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. This year, the company has made an upward climb and placed 22nd on the list, after having claimed the 25th spot in 2011.

Jan Hein Bax, President of Randstad Canada says it is a great honour to be recognized as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada and confirms employee engagement is a priority for the organization.

“As leaders in our industry, we recognize the importance of meeting the needs and wants of today’s top talent. At Randstad, it is our people who contribute to the excellence of our business and to our ability to meet the evolving needs of our clients. That’s why, whether it’s through stay interviews, engagement surveys, or by offering outstanding volunteer opportunities, training and development, a great corporate culture and flexible work solutions, we are constantly working to find out, and better meet, the needs of our employees,” he says.

With initiatives like: “Treat Thursdays” where employees take a break to enjoy some time to chat with co-workers as they enjoy their favourite snacks; “Jean Fridays” where employees can don jeans once a week for a $5 fee that is donated to charity; flexible work-from-home solutions and employee awards in the form of trips and prizes for top performers – it’s not hard to see why Randstad Canada has secured this honour for six consecutive years.

But while it’s clear the company knows how to have fun, Randstad Canada also places a strong emphasis on employee development and training opportunities. “We provide our group with ongoing training and mentoring. We want our employees to be better and to grow with our ever changing industry. One example is the Master’s program which we launched a few years ago. Through this program we identify a group of high-potential staff and provide them with a real business issue that our company is facing, and pair them into non-management groups. An executive coach is then designated as the sponsor for each group, guiding them through the project while allowing them to tackle the challenge independently. This gives participants the opportunity to think beyond their current role, growing their capabilities while directly contributing to the betterment of the organization,” explains Bax.

“At Randstad Canada, we have great benefits and we have great development programs, but it is truly the culture of our company that make us such a great place to work!” says Bax. “Creating a positive workplace where employees can realize their talents and career aspirations is part of our core values. Everyone who works here is proud of the brand and we work hard to ensure our commitment to excellence,” he says.

According to Bax, wining this award holds great importance to Randstad Canada. “With looming skills shortages and a large number of baby boomers set to retire, employee engagement is a top HR priority for organizations, including ours,” says Bax. “We recognize that our employer brand is important currency in making sure we attract the right talent to help us continue our growth and achieve our goals. It’s not just about talking the talk – this award proves we can walk the walk too.”

This year’s list received over 230 nominations and approximately 49,000 employees participated in the 2012 “Best Workplaces in Canada” survey.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) April 16, 2012 Suki Shah, co-founder and CEO of GetHired.com, the leading end-to-end hiring solution for small- and medium-sized businesses, will guest star on the live ‘Get Hired Fast Track’ show on April 18, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. PDT. ‘Get Hired Fast Track,’ broadcast weekly on Vokle, is hosted by Paul Hill, author of The Panic Free Job Search: Unleash the Power of the Web and Social Networking to Get Hired. The show focuses on getting job hunters hired.

Employers today have unprecedented access to new job search platforms — from software, cloud-based applications and, of course, Web and professional network sites such as LinkedIn. Additionally, new social applications such as BranchOut and BeKnown mine Facebook’s data in hopes of streamlining the hiring process. Job seekers are heading into a digital hiring jungle with no end in sight. But, on January 30, 2012, GetHired.com launched with a way to streamline the process of filling a job (for employers) and getting a job (for job seekers).

“Not only are we helping employers to grow their teams by serving as a job board, ATS, pre-screening tool and video interviewing platform, but at GetHired.com we’re helping job seekers to stand out in their job search beyond the traditional 8.5” x 11” resume,” said Suki Shah, at GetHired.com. “I’m looking forward to speaking with Paul, a respected job search expert, about how to help job seekers find their dream jobs. GetHired.com provides a better candidate experience for both employers and job seekers, at no cost.”

The ‘Get Hired Fast Track’ show on April 18 will address the following questions:

– Have so-called advances in digital recruiting applications really streamlined the hiring process, or have they created more work for both applicant/candidates and employers?
– Are job hunters and employers spending more time looking for each other now rather than getting down to business?

“The team at GetHired.com is truly changing the way people find jobs and the way employers fill jobs by using the power of video to do pre-screening. This pre-screening works for applicants as well as for employers,” said Paul Hill, Chief Instructor of TransitiontoHired.com and the ‘Get Hired Fast Track’ show host. “Not only can employers and applicant/candidates do pre-screening of each other, but they can also conduct real-time virtual video interviews to cut down the cost and time to hire for both parties.”

WORTHING, England, April 16, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Hasson Associates bases entire recruitment infrastructure around recruitment agency software, Bond Adapt -

Hasson Associates, a market research recruitment specialist, has enjoyed ongoing success and a strong professional relationship with Bond International Software, the global provider of recruitment agency software & human capital management software & services, since deploying Bond Adapt staffing agency software in July 2008.

Since first deployment, Hasson Associates has enhanced its recruitment system and has grown substantially, including a four-fold internal headcount increase, with Bond Adapt providing support for the entire infrastructure.

Hasson Associates was founded in January 2008 by Sinead Hasson, who at the time had 14 years experience in market research recruitment. Prior to the implementation of staffing agency software, Bond Adapt, in July 2008, the company was storing candidate details in spreadsheets – a manual process which was immensely time-consuming and restrictive.

Hasson Associates therefore required a user-friendly recruitment system that enabled it to improve the efficiency of its service and manage relationships effectively, especially in light of its ever-increasing database of candidates. After conducting a thorough market review, trialling five other recruitment agency software solutions, Hasson Associates concluded that Bond Adapt was the easiest to use, the most suited to its specific needs, as well as the most scalable and cost-effective.

Hasson Associates deployed the latest version of staffing agency software, Bond Adapt, to provide the foundations for the entire recruitment system – from searching the database for relevant candidates to providing all elements of CRM activity for the candidate and client alike.

Recruitment agency software, Bond Adapt, has been fundamental in the rapid success and growth that Hasson Associates has enjoyed in its four years of operation. The company was shortlisted for the ‘Best Newcomer Agency’ in the 2010 Recruiter Awards for Excellence and has seen its requirement for Adapt user licenses increase from two to nine in this short period.

Sinead Hasson, Managing Director, Hasson Associates, comments, “As our business grew, accumulating more and more clients and candidates, it became essential to find a software solution which allowed us to streamline our candidate search and placement processes and store candidate information securely. Some recruitment packages that we had previously come across were particularly cumbersome to use, often requiring excessive data entry and overall management. Our principle requirement was therefore for a product that gathered all the information needed, processed it and stored it, but that also actively helped our team in placing candidates with our clients – it wasn’t enough to just be a data repository, it had to make our processes more efficient.- Bond Adapt offered us all of this with the least disruptive, yet most cost effective package.”

Hasson concludes, “We have used Adapt very effectively since its implementation in July 2008 which, in turn, has facilitated our rapid expansion and success. We enjoy a strong working relationship with Bond: the helpdesk for example, is always available and receptive to our queries, a facility which has been invaluable to us as a developing business.”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2012 Jobathon.com launches a new website, powered by the same technology behind Sales.Jobs.com, to match job seekers with the right employers. The new website is based on an entirely new business model that will allow Jobathon.com to provide a service based on multimillion-dollar technology for its users while building its own long-term success.

Jobathon is using the technology introduced and developed for SalesJobs.com (a niche employment site that is a leader in the sales and employment industry) but it will be attached to a Google-type interface to merge high-end technology with a familiar user experience.

“The user will never see the technology used behind our system,” said Eric Ruiz, CEO of Sales Jobs Inc. “It will simply be a seamless experience with technology that rivals any other job aggregate site available today.”

SalesJobs.com was the first to introduce this kind of fully automated business model, and Jobathon.com will take advantage of this new business model as it expands into the global market. This will allow the company to scale the service to meet demand because it is designed to be run, managed, and administered completely on its own. The goal of this model is to minimize the fixed running costs and make it easier to remain profitable.

“The environment for job aggregate websites is very competitive, and staying on top means keeping fixed costs low and profit margins high,” Ruiz said. “With our system, everything from marketing, sales, and client contact is accomplished without any human intervention. SalesJobs.com introduced this technology years ago in 1999, and since then it has become the largest, most profitable sales employment site in the world. We expect to see the same results from our new job aggregate site.”

By year end, the company expects Jobathon.com to be running in many countries around the world. The site already has over 100,000 listings for categories such as sales, design, accounting, and marketing jobs.
