Greetings from your Internet Recruiting guru c/o the New England-
focused recruitment Web site, CommunityClassifieds.com/Employment

This free email Newsletter is sent once per month to keep you updated 
about recruiting tips and tools available online and elsewhere.  If 
you no longer wish to receive this information, visit 
http://www.egroups.com/group/recruiting-online. We changed our 
newsletter management software to eGroups, which gives you more 
flexibility than before.


* FREE JOB POSTING SITE OF THE MONTH

Post your jobs to students at over 100 universities.  This system 
protects student confidentiality, which adds credibility:

* FREE RESUME SOURCE OF THE MONTH

America Online is the biggest online community, but you don't have to 
be an AOL member to access their members' resumes.  Here are two 
pools to tap.  The miscellaneous bunch (searchable by keywords) is at:
http://hometown.aol.com/cat.adp?cid=19155&l=english
and information technology resumes are at:
http://search.aol.com/cat.adp?id=185646


* INTERNET RECRUITING TOOL OF THE MONTH

One of the new products introduced at the e-Cruiting and Staffing 
Conference last month was EmployMAX's JobFlash(TM), a multi-media job 
description and company profile capable of performing in low 
bandwidth environments and deliverable by e-mail.  For employers who 
want to present themselves impactfully via sight, sound and motion, 
this may be interesting.
http://www.employmax.com


* GENERAL RECRUITING TIP OF THE MONTH

The hot trend now is referrals:  You get (or should) many of your 
best employees from referrals by current ones.  Taking the referral 
network wider, several sites have launched to facilitate the employee 
referral process, with the referring person and the site each 
financially incented:  Refer.com (launched by Webhire and Idealab!), 
CareerRewards.com (over $3 million in VC), and Referrals.com (funded 
in part by Hearst Interactive Media, the magazine group publisher).  
Incent your own staff, or you'll be paying for referrals from these 
sites someday!


* INTERNET RECRUITING NICHE OF THE MONTH

Senior management candidates:  Traditionally the domain of executive 
recruiting agencies, these firms typically demand 25% of first-year 
salary as their placement fee.  That spurred the creation of career 
sites like Exec-U-Net and 6FigureJobs.  Now another site geared to 
the $100K-plus salary candidate has entered the fray:

* RECRUITING EVENT OF THE MONTH

Some of the big-name speakers at SHRM and IHRIM last month will share 
their knowledge at Xtreme Recruiting: Human Capital Management in the 
New Millennium, a FREE all-day event on Wed. July 12 in Silicon 
Valley.  The sessions sound informative, and is a great way for the 
host, Intralect, to attract HR/recruiting decision-makers to see its 
enhanced JobPlanet product. For details, monica@i... or

* ADVANCED SEARCH STRING OF THE MONTH

If you read my article in the Recruitment special section of the June 
12, 2000 issue of Mass High Tech (archived online at 
masshightech.com), their editors inadvertently inserted some typos on 
my search strings to target specific kinds of high-tech resumes, 
which prevent them from working as published.  For the correct 
version, go to my site:
http://www.recruiting-online.com/mhtarticle.html

To learn how to adapt those search strings to other desired candidate 
skilltypes or other geographic areas, if you have attended one of our 
seminars, go to:

* RECRUITING NEWS OF THE MONTH

Korn/Ferry, the big executive recruiting firm, is going on a buying 
career site spree:  They're buying the college job site JobDirect.com 
in a $30 million cash-stock deal in order to penetrate the 
student/entry-level job seeker space, and invested half of the latest 
$16 million round supporting recruiting software vendor WebHire.com.


* RECRUITING STATISTIC OF THE MONTH

Having trouble convincing your bosses that online recruiting is 
worthwhile?  The average cost per hire that way is $152, versus 
$1,383 using traditional methods. And it's not just techies you'll 
find:  62% of aspiring senior managers say they'll use the Internet 
to search for their next job.  The sources for these stats, and 
several others, come from an article by the editor of Recruiting 
Trends at:
http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,15665,00.html
