Here at Entice, we spend a lot of time combing the web to keep up on the latest and greatest in the HR world. We find great information every day, so we thought we’d put together a section on our web site to post some of it.
We’re launching it with a few links to some great articles about running a thriving HR department while economic times are tough, what with the downturn and all.
Check out the “Resources” section up top and have a look.
Corpfolio Home Page
We’re very excited to announce that Corpfolio has officially launched!
Increasingly tech savvy job candidates expect companies to not only have a web presence, but a good one. And that goes for career sites as well. But let’s face it, how many career sites have you been to and thought, “Wow.”? If your experience is anything like ours, then not many.
Building a quality career site takes a lot of time and resources that a lot of companies simply don’t have.
With Corpfolio, we’ve done all the hard work for you. Now you can focus on adding content, pictures, and video that will really wow job candidates. Customizing your career site is a snap with our easy-to-use tool. You can literally have a great career site in under 15 minutes.
Career Site Designer
We like Corpfolio so much that we built our own career site using it. You can take a look here.
And the best part? It’s free! Seriously. It’s not a trial, and there aren’t even ads.
We’re taking an iterative approach to Corpfolio, so we’d really like your feedback. Check it out at www.corpfolio.com, and create your own career site, and then tell us what you think:
As a job candidate, what do you want to see on a career site?
As an employer, what would you like have on your career site?
Any other thoughts?
Employers are getting creative when it comes to online recruiting. According to the article “Creative Recruiting on the Rise” over at hrexecutive.com, employers are moving away from more traditional recruitment advertising (aka job boards):
Peter Zollman, Classified Intelligence’s founding partner, explains that while online job sites are still considered valuable tools (second only to employee referrals as a source of new hires), dissatisfaction with general online recruitment sites is growing due to the waning quality of candidates.
“Our report shows the increasing role blogs, social networking, online forums, video clips, billboards and other ‘alternative’ advertising methods now play in recruitment,” Zollman says.
“As recruiters move away from print, they are becoming increasingly creative in using new ways … to find candidates.”
Job boards aren’t going away any time soon, but employers are increasingly turning to new and creative means to fill that gap that job boards can’t fill.

These are the kinds of things we were hearing when we decided to build TalentSeekr. We hope to give employers a way to move beyond job boards and take their job openings to the people who fit them best. Our beta employers (like Novell, The Generations Network) are already seeing great results.
