SmartPost Launches New SmartPost Spotlight Series

Newsletter-style reports provide thought leadership on emerging sourcing trends and strategies

NEW YORK CITY, NY— APRIL 18, 2011 — SmartPost, the innovative online job posting and sourcing product from Bernard Hodes Group, is pleased to announce the launch of its SmartPost Spotlight series. Each Spotlight will cover a variety of today’s hottest sourcing trends and topics, with the first issue outlining the unique differences when sourcing on niche job boards.

SmartPost Spotlights provide relevant and timely information around sourcing strategies to help SmartPost customers recruit critical talent needed to contribute to their success. Written purposely in newsletter fashion, each Spotlight will allow readers to quickly learn about best practices and will focus on one particular content theme.

“Our customers are eager to learn and try new sourcing methods, but they also want a perspective on how they are taking shape in the overall talent acquisition marketplace,” said Carmen Doherty, vice president, senior director of SmartPost. “With the SmartPost Spotlight, we can articulate how these ideas are being put into operation and the results they are producing, or offer insight on where we feel they can be improved.”

SmartPost Spotlights will provide practical guidance on recruiting initiatives ranging from employee engagement, sourcing metrics, industry trends, and Web 2.0 and social networking tools, to those focused on using niche sourcing techniques and how to better optimize your jobs across all your sourcing channels—not just job boards.

“The SmartPost Spotlight’s simplified format and singular focus allow readers to get a quick piece of information and a few baseline ideas on how to get started,” said Shawna Berthold, vice president, director of marketing. “With thousands of sourcing activities funneled through SmartPost every day, we can take that depth and breadth of industry knowledge and turn it into actionable strategies that bring success to our customers.”

The SmartPost Spotlight series will be a value-add resource and made available for complimentary download on the SmartPost.com website. The first issue, A Focus on Niche Job Boards, is currently available for download.
