Jobs in Pods Blog

In the interest of transparency we thought we’d share some of our latest stats from Jobsinpods.com. Here is a list of the top pages for the past 30 days. We’ve highlighted the top ten podcasts during that time period. Three TJX jobcasts have snagged 3 of the top 4 spots due to their promotional linking efforts from tjx.com.

When we launched our Youtube channel we had high hopes in terms of giving our “Jobcasts” more exposure. We have not been disappointed. This week it recorded its 10,000 view since it launched about 6 months ago. The top 5 audio jobcasts on our channel are as follows:

1. AT&T U-verse technician jobs in california - 1,004 views

2. What does an SAP Consultant do? IBM Jobcast - 951 views

3. Become a Business Analyst at Walgreens HQ in Deerfield, IL - 734 views

4. Restaurant Manager Jobs You’ll Love - 597 views

5. Career as an RN - Registered Nurse Jobcast - 596 views

Each of our Youtube versions gets tagged and described according to the jobs discussed. People come across it via Youtube searches, search engine traffic and other online sources.

Did you realize that Facebook is a great sourcing tool? We did. Here’s how you can find candidates, message them and engage them on their turf. One company we know gets a 60-70% response rate for contacting candidates via Facebook.

Click the ‘Search‘ link underneath the Facebook logo.

There are 2 search features that are relevant to employers. Coworkers and Profile search.

Coworkers are a great way to source people from your competitors. Many Facebook users are being more thorough when adding content about their work experience and thats good news for sourcers. Just type in a company and you’ll instantly be connected to many of their current employees.

Profile Search allows you to search actual job titles that people have entered. (Use the ‘Position’ field towards the bottom) Unfortunately you cant search the entire Facebook database. Rather, you are limited to your friends or those inside your regional network. (Remember you can only belong to one regional network at a time). A quick search in our regional network for ‘RNs‘ yields 31 people from over 54,000 in that network. A search for ‘Sales‘ yields over 500 results in our network.

Once you identify particular candidates, you can send them a message introducing yourself, your company and your jobs. Good luck!
