| Preparing for the Economic Rebound |
|
By: Terry Terhark
|
|
|
With jobless claims at record highs in recent times and dismal monthly employment reports, the current outlook remains grim. However, as time goes on, we will again see the return of robust hiring activity. Historically, most organizations are not well prepared to act quickly when things rebound.

| "Scour Power" |
|
By: Donna Fenn
|
|
|
"Among the best-known consulting firms in that new industry is Advanced Internet Recruitment Strategies (AIRS), a Hanover, NH, company whose seminars have attracted more than 10,000 professional third-party recruiters and in-house human-resources managers. Some of AIRS's methods involve digital sleights of hand, such as "peeling back" URLs and "flipping" or "x-raying" Web sites. But much of what the company teaches is basically old-economy networking with an Internet spin."

"Instead of fending off Internet recruiters, IT organizations are increasingly joining them by having their in-house IT recruiters learn Internet recruiting tactics. Craib estimates that approximately 75% of his students are from corporate IT recruiting staffs. Scott G.T. Sloan, director of IT recruiting at Citadel Investment Group LLC in Chicago, is a graduate of the AIRS course."

|
By: Martha Heller

"Cisco cuts 1,000 employees. Motorola drops 22,000. Everyday, it seems, some company in the high-tech sector releases another wave of workers into the labor pool. Paradoxically, the layoff trend may actually make it harder for CIOs to recruit good candidates. AIRS, an e-training firm for recruiters, found that 77 percent of recruiters are finding it more difficult to recruit now than during the economic boom of last year."

"A culture built on get-rich-quick is fundamentally a shallow and unstable platform," says Mike Foster, CEO of AIRS, a company which helps train recruiters. Referring to the dot-com "gold rush," he said, "I'm not sure if it's ended forever, but it's certainly swung the other way."

"With the proliferation of online resume databases and various other repositories of information, the task of searching high and low for specific candidate data had become a daunting task. Tools are now available to not only search for data but also accumulate data on any given group of people. These disparate pieces of data are now assembled in profile format to provide a complete picture on any given person found on the Web.
Examples: AIRS, ZoomInfo, ex Eliyon"

"Webhire also delivers integration with AIRS Oxygen,
unlike any other talent management solution provider. This is called (surprisingly) WebhireConnect: AIRS. As long as the recruiter is an AIRS subscriber, all they need to do is click the AIRS link and they will automatically be able to search the AIRSnetwork - no need to login to a new system. The recruiter can schedule searches, send candidate communications, and reach the entire extended network of AIRS Oxygen -- including relationship networking tools such as Spoke...We pursued AIRS based on their
quality and leadership position in the market."

"Nearly three quarters of recruiters use the Internet daily to look for potential candidates, according to the results of a survey conducted recently by AIRS, a provider of recruitment training and information technology. Queried about their candidate sources, 73 percent of nearly 1,000 recruiters in all types of industries said they use the net every day. Three percent of respondents said they do not source from the net. The survey also showed that 66 percent of recruiters have less than two years of e-recruiting experience and only 34 percent of recruiters had between two and five years of Internet experience."

"Today, IT candidates remain scarce, but they expect a bit less -- they're scared by layoff news and the continued Nasdaq doldrums. What's really new in the current climate is the weakened negotiating position of IT recruiters whose companies or industries are beset with layoffs and bad financial news. In this article, AIRS alumni (and Summit speaker) Natalie Kelly from Huntley Partners and AIRS Director of Sales Tim McKegney provide an overview of the new landscape - and advice to help attract those valuable IT hires."

| "Changes In Front Office Software" |
|
By: Sara Moss

"In the corporate recruiting market, we believe that CRM functionality for recruiters, or rCRM, will be offered by more and more vendors over the next 18-24 months," states Chris Forman, CEO of AIRS. "Recruiters can really benefit from a recruiter-specific CRM tool that is specific to recruiting processes rather than a generic sales tool." AIRS' Engage product, announced in June 2005, offers recruiters an automated workflow around managing and developing their network of candidates. Solid rCRM tools will facilitate the development of passive candidate relationships, referrals, prospects and employees. "We call it a 'build it and forget it' relationship tool, where recruiters can identify a passive candidate and quickly set up an automated process to keep in touch with the candidate through personalized e-mail campaigns," adds Forman.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could actually stay in touch with those people and let them know when there is an open position? That's what CRM (candidate relationship management) systems can do."
