High-Volume Hiring Just Got Personal

Austin, TX, April 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- CareerPlug, a recruitment marketing firm, recently launched the latest version of its personalized recruiting campaign service for employers with high-volume recruiting needs. The company attributes the success of its email-based campaigns, which often produce response rates that are more than twice as high as the industry average, to its personalized recruiting microsites. These employer-branded websites, personalized to each handpicked candidate, allow top professionals to explore a specific career opportunity and, if it is a good fit for them, submit a brief form expressing their interest. With the new version of their service, CareerPlug will provide an even higher level of personalization by tailoring the message to each candidate based on his/her experiences.

"One of the challenges in high-volume recruiting is establishing a personal connection with candidates. CareerPlug's recruiting microsites add a personalized touch to a recruitment email campaign that engages top candidates and differentiates the employer from its competition," said Clint Smith, founder and President of CareerPlug. "This certainly gives companies an advantage as they compete for top talent."

CareerPlug has developed technology that analyzes candidate resumes and references their specific experiences as part of the recruitment message. If an employer was looking for sales candidates who have had a specific type of training (Solutions Selling, for example), CareerPlug would target these candidates with a specific message referencing their Solutions Selling experience. This level of personalization immediately engages candidates, particularly those who are a good fit for the opportunity.

The personalized microsite technology would not be nearly as effective without the front-end effort that CareerPlug puts into each of its campaigns. Unlike most recruitment marketing firms, CareerPlug handpicks each candidate to be included in a campaign based on predetermined criteria provided by the employer. This high level of flexibility and personalization has led employers, including both regional companies and Fortune 500 corporations, to rely on CareerPlug for their high-volume recruiting of sales and customer service professionals. In addition to the value of attracting qualified candidates for their open positions, CareerPlug has been able to save time for recruiting teams whose budgets and personnel have been stretched thin by internal cost-cutting measures.

"At a time like this, recruiting teams are looking for ways to do more with less," said Smith. "Employers are receiving lots of applications, but the quality is generally low. CareerPlug offers employers a way to target and attract top talent for their open positions at a great value compared to traditional hiring resources."

CareerPlug is currently offering a one-month trial for new clients to evaluate its services. Please visit www.careerplug.com for more details.
