Prior to covid one of the top places to find talent and bring everyone together was at career fairs and or Hiring Events. I remember many times hosting events with hundreds of potential candidates who all came to one location to learn about a company or opportunities that existed; hiring managers and employees all meeting potential new employees at one place! How exciting it was! Is this still a relevant process or have meaning now with our ever changing world? Is Zoom or Video interviews the new norm? Well, I certainly would like to hear from you - what are your thoughts on hosting events to attract talent? Does it work still or is it a lost art form ......how do we measure success as such - is it based on hires made or is it from growing brand of an organization? What do you think?

How do you turn an interview into a two-way conversation? Candidate Lesson 2: Researching Employers According to a 2017 survey from Glassdoor, employers say good candidates are informed candidates. To be “informed” requires bringing questions, being knowledgeable of the role you are interviewing for, and understanding the organization’s culture. Here are some tips to help you prepare and become an informed candidate. Use the following tools and methods to gather your research and better position yourself. 1) Glassdoor and Indeed: review companies, culture, and hiring process. 2) Job Fairs: connect with hiring managers and staff. 3) LinkedIn: make connections, research the employer page, join groups and collect hiring manager profiles. 4) Company website and job posting: to review responsibilities, hiring requirements, “day in the life”, culture, purpose and vision. Several years ago, my daughter called to discuss a possible summer job opportunity in between her sophomore and junior year in college. She had attended a campus event held by the employer and was beginning to gather research before the interview process began. After the call, I texted her the company profile from Glassdoor. Madison built some questions and turned the interview into a two-way conversation. If you work in sales, look no further than Bluegreen Vacations to #igniteyourcareer!

"This sounds like such a great company, are you hiring?" We recently had a call with a client who told us they were at an event – not a career fair, mind you – and people were coming up to them saying that they saw the brand in the media and wanted to work for them (which I love for them!). Media coverage, thought leadership opportunities, and even your social media presence can showcase your company as an industry leader and ultimately an appealing workplace, draws in individuals who are not only skilled but also share your vision and values. But positive PR doesn't just attract talent; it also helps retain it. Celebrating company achievements and promoting a collaborative culture can foster a sense of pride and loyalty among current employees. Engaged employees are more productive, which directly contributes to your bottom line. The expectation is often that PR -> Sales, but most times it's not so direct, like in this case PR -> Attracts & retains top talent -> Sales. You can't build a world-class brand overnight, but undoubtedly good PR is going to help you get there! :)
