Who says print doesnt work for job seekers.

Here is another link I found from http://del.icio.us/popular/employment

Emurse.com Job Seeker Management

So I found a cool new product from http://del.icio.us/popular/employment - (this is a great resource for the latest up and coming recruiting technology) the new product is called Emurse.

Basically, this is a tool for job seekers to keep track of their resumes, cover letters and allow easy access for Employers to download various versions.

It will get very interesting, if Emurse eventually sells (or even better, gives away for free) access to these resumes. Of course they would need to get permission from the job seekers first. Keep your eye on these guys, Im happy to see someone finally doing some really cool stuff for the seeker.

From Emurse.com's site

When finding your perfect career, don't leave the most important parts up to chance. Writing a great resume and keeping it up to date is essential. Getting your foot in the door requires an organized approach and maybe even a little bit of
networking. Wouldn't it be swell if you could do that all from one place?

SHRM and Direct Mail Recruiting

Timing couldn't have been any better for SHRM and the release of RecruitCard.

SHRM was absolutely great (with the exception of the rain, a cheap motel, bridges being flooded and having to sleep in a hotel lobby until we could get across the river).

Other than a few little snafus, we couldn't have begged for a better release. Our "Old School Recruiting" t-shirts really helped convey our message and show the world, that we are not your traditional agency. And our collateral was off the hook. (Our entire production team at Enfront all deserve a warm fuzzy for how fast they put everything together)

With out getting specific, a lot of the big job boards showed serious interest in RecruitCard and specifically the concept of direct mail recruiting. We will keep you posted on any outcomes.

After the show we trekked to King of Prussia, PA, to formalize our relationship with Beyond.com, those guys are doing some great technical work and I cant wait to see all the wonderful things we come up with together.
