Jobs in Pods Blog

The September edition of HR Magazine has featured Jobs in Pods.

Jobs in Pods can now be accessed by all Facebook users. The application can be found at:

http://apps.facebook.com/jobsinpods/

By virtue of the Facebook network, our podcasts now can be exposed to the millions of Facebook users. Just like tools such as iTunes and Podcast Alley, this represents more exposure for our jobcasts across the world wide web.

Some have asked what kind of “success” Jobs in Pods has achieved in terms of driving candidates to the employer. So here are 3 examples of successful results from podcasting your jobs.

1. In a podcast we did for Jobs in Pods seeking work at home podcasters we received over 20 resumes, of which we interviewed 7 candidates and hired 3.

2. In this podcast from April, Chuck Chesler of Village Office Supply in Norwalk CT was contacted by two candidates who heard it. He interviewed both and hired the 2nd one.

3. Andrew Figgins of Chicago Sportscast Network, has interviewed 6 quality candidates from the jobcast he did back in May.

So yes, I consider the site to be a huge success thus far. And remember, the primary goal of these podcasts is to promote the ‘employment brand‘ and what its like to work there. The secondary goal is to drive candidates to apply on the employers’ website. On both counts we are doing just that.
