Secret Insider Recruiting Tool: Direct Mail
When I started recruiting physicians in 1996, my first year was about building my desk. I called every physician office in New England. Sure, I found a lot of empty message takers and hang ups. But I did built up my desk and network. I found many job leads and after a lot of work I had a functioning desk. My office was a growing one. We had over two dozen recruiters working single specialties. There were six recruiters on my team, and the internal competition was tough. Back then the phone was the only real method of candidate contact. But there was another method our firm utilized: direct mail.
After eight years and growing into management I was given the task of managing the direct marketing campaigns for the company. Every consultant was given a number of “free” pieces of direct mail letters that they could send out every week to source candidates and clients. This was a large part of our company strategy. We advertised, we called, we met face to face, and we direct mailed. It was successful. Candidates and call us after receiving a mailer. We loved it, it made our phone ring!

First Look At 2011 Staffing Trends
Well that went by rather quick no? One month already down for 2011. With January now officially in the books it is a good time for us to take a quick look at a few of the trends beginning to emerge this new year.
– Temp Staffing
Take a quick look at our Around the Industry news wire and you will see daily news about contract staffing. There was a rise in temporary staffing numbers to close out 2010 and that has continued to open up in 2011. With organizations facing hiring needs, but still the uncertainties of the economics behind the need- more and more are exploring the temp marketplace.
“Temp growth continues to be strong,” said Tig Gilliam, who heads North American operations for Swiss-based Adecco SA, the world’s biggest staffing firm. He said year-over-year growth is inevitably slowing since the recovery in temp jobs is now well into its second year.
This is a trend that offers the solution of satisfying an opening without being too locked in. Look for temp staffing numbers to continue to rise and make noise in 2011.
– Mobile Apps
Mobile Apps exploded last year as Droid OS broke out and provided yet another viable platform for companies to explore in getting their products into consumer hands. Recruiting Daily has looked at Evernote, RingCentral, and Slydial apps in the past, but expect more recruiter-friendly tools to be coming soon as well. Already most of today’s top ATS developers have mobile apps versions and/or tools available, and just yesterday there was the announcement of Monster’s new iPad App for recruiters. With the growth of iPad usage and the next wave of tablets ready to hit the marketplace there will be continued news on App releases. This is one trend that will continue to create buzz this year as we move forward.
