I came across some additional great content for the 4-23 Water Cooler Talk & Links segment.  Up first is an article written by Ryan Loken, titled:  Are Your Recruiters Ready for the Recession? Some of you, might be thinking what recession?

Up next is a video called A Web 1.0 Thank You, from the Fordyce Letter.  A great reminder for all Recruiting professionals, as we leverage Web 2.0 technology for recruiting and communicating to candidates.

Next up a great post from Dennis Smith on The 10 Biggest Networking Mistakes.  Speaking of networking, join the Credit Union LinkedIn group if you haven’t had the chance.

And last for this Wednesday is an article titled A Millennial Dilemma which is a great follow up from Cara’s post earlier this week on recruiting trends with Generation X and Y.  A Millennial Dilemma focuses on interview questions – and rethinking them for the new generation.

Job boards are everywhere, and new boards are being added to the web – almost daily.  There are tens of thousands in existence today.  Google “Job Boards”, and get back an astonishing 2.6 million hits.  The trend has shifted over the past several years from the big boards, as their traffic continues to decline, to niche and aggregator sites.

When considering the countless options you have to post your Credit Union jobs on-line, I recommend taking several areas into consideration prior to selecting the right site for you.  I will focus today’s post on cross posting – and aggregator sites. 

In today’s competitive environment, cross posting is essential.  If the niche site you are considering doesn’t cross post to other sites on the web, RED FLAG! Do they have the traffic, audience, and opportunities to promote your job? More importantly, have job seekers heard of the site and would they happen to jump on or find that site the day your job is posted?  With the CUhire Credit Union Job site, we leverage our growing partnership with a network of job boards, blogs, user home pages, professional networking and association sites.

In addition to getting the furthest reach for your job posting and branding your Credit Union, we aggressively search and market to a variety of associations, databases, and professional networking sites to drive additional targeted candidate traffic to your opening.

And finally, with the most competitive value in the industry, a 60 day posting on our Credit Union Job Site is $185.  Did I mention this includes getting your job on popular sites including Monster.com, Jobster.com, LinkedIn, and MySpace to name a few.  Are you ready to save hundreds of dollars? If so, post a Credit Union job now.
