Introducing Recruiting's Next Wave
>>>By: Christine Hirsch

There's an old saying in recruiting that I've recently had cause to take stock in: "The only thing you can catch at a career fair is a cold." For those of us who have worked at career fairs, especially during a recession, the scenario is all too familiar: juggling booth logistics...shaking hands with hundreds of candidates...looking for that one diamond in the rough...walking away with a head cold. Well, those days might soon be over. Talent Event has brought the best of the convention hall experience online (and left the worst behind).

Talent Event uses advanced Internet technology and the media power of CBS and Recruiters World to bring the traditional career fair online. A step above virtual job fairs, Talent Event gives companies and candidates the opportunity to meet and interact, in real-time, on the web. Promoted to thousands of job seekers by CBS via radio and TV, Talent Event lasts one month and runs 7-days a week, 24-hours a day. No more traveling, no more hand shaking, companies can now recruit candidates, present opportunities, and assess qualifications at their convenience, from the comfort of their corporate offices, or wherever an Internet connection is available.

Recruiters Seek Alternatives to the Convention Hall
>>>By Recruiters World Special Reports

The economic recession has dealt a blow to many industries and recruiting is not immune to the turbulence. The convention-hall job fair, once the premiere venue for recruiters to meet candidates, is falling off the radar screen for today's hiring companies. Event cancellations and budgetary limitations are compelling companies to look for convenient and affordable hiring solutions, relying on job boards, networks, and now Talent Event, to fill positions.
