CPGjobs Power Packages --
Huge Savings Kick Off Season

CPGjobs announces a new effort to help corporate recruiters and their RPOs cut costs for the coming 12 months. These high-volume Power Packages offer 60-day job postings for $99 each -- an unprecedented discount of 80% off CPGjobs’ normal per-posting fee:

Power Package 1: 50 Job Postings - $4,950

Power Package 2: 100 Job Postings - $9,900

Place your order for a Power Package by September 15 and take an additional 5 percent off the Package price.

Do the Math!

Subtract our Power Package Cost of $99 from our regular single job cost $495 and your savings is $396 per job!
If you only have one job opening a month, this deal saves your company nearly $5,000 a year -- and the savings increase the more jobs you buy! a year -- and the savings increase the more jobs you buy!

“Pricing on the fall Power Packages represent a fraction of the cost postings on the nation’s mega job boards,” says CPGjobs President Michael Carrillo. “A 30-day job posting on Monster is $395; a similar job posting on Career Builder is $419. “There’s no comparison,” Carrillo said. “Our candidates are highly qualified in the CPG industry theirs are not,” he said. “Our postings come with personal support theirs do not.”

“There is no bigger mission for companies in today’s global business environment than recruiting the right people.” Despite its growing population, the United States faces a severe shortage of managerial and professional workers as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire. Unfortunately, too many firms are still using yesterday’s recruiting tactics, according to Carrillo.

“The old recruiting model isn’t working -- to find and recruit the best talent in today’s diverse and competitive talent market, companies need to use a layered approach,” he says. “This includes specialized job sites like CPGjoblist, professional recruiters, recruitment outsource companies, corporate job sites, and referral networks that capture and filter talent for the decision-makers. It takes a partnership—and sometimes more than one.”

Carrillo noted that the fall Power Packages come in time for two of the CPG/retail industry’s most important diversity events: the National Black MBA Association, meeting September 17-20 in Washington, D.C., expected to attract more than 12,000 professionals; and the Society of Hispanic MBAs, October 9-11 in Atlanta, expected to attract more than 4,000 high-level prospects. Recruiters from CPGjobs will attend both of these major career events in force. “The timing couldn’t be better,” Carrillo said. “Our clients want and need as much value and as much outreach -- as they can get in the last hiring quarter of the year.”

New Approaches

Today’s recruiting environment is more complex than ever. Talent hunts are often not just national but international, and diversity has become crucial to success. “The same old approaches turn up the same old candidates, and that’s not what you need,” Carrillo says.

Employers and candidates both are turning to specialized recruiting sites and services because they work better than mega boards, according to Carrillo. Industry-specific sites like CPGjoblist are more effective than job boards like Monster and Career Builder, according to a study by Forrester Research. BusinessWeek agrees, reporting that "most specialty boards are too small to appear on Internet statistical measures, such as CPGjoblist. But anecdotal evidence suggests niche sites are growing rapidly -- with users drawn by their manageable size, better quality listings and community feel."

“Take traditional recruiters,” Carrillo says. “It’s not that they don’t hope that things work out with the candidates they send to you, but they get paid regardless. Their fee structure rewards turnover.”

“At CPGjobs our recruiting approach is different,” he says. “We’re in the candidate business, not the transaction business -- you can use the candidates we provide now or later. You can even use them for another position. We don’t ‘own them,’ you do. And we cap our fees. That makes budgeting easy and ensures that we don’t profit from salary wars.”

Because of the huge all-industry job boards the talent pipeline is bigger than ever, and that’s part of the problem, Carrillo says. “Megaboards feed the pipeline, but they throw gallons of bath water in with the baby. There’s not enough filtering or qualification. Decision-makers get overwhelmed and must sift through piles of paper to find the CPG people -- and time is money.”

The Role of RPOs

The job of finding the right talent is too big for any one company, says Carrillo, and too specialized for companies to handle internally. “That’s why many companies are hiring RPOs--Recruitment Process Outsourcing firms--that coordinate the talent search.

“RPOs act as a company's internal recruitment function for a portion or all of its jobs. RPOs manage the entire recruiting/hiring process from job profiling through the on-boarding of the new hire, including staff, technology, method and reporting. A properly managed RPO will improve a company's time to hire, increase the quality of the candidate pool, provide verifiable metrics, reduce cost and improve governmental compliance,” reports the Recruitment Process Outsourcing Association.

CPGjobs is the perfect partner for corporate RPOs, filling the pipeline with diverse, pre-qualified candidates, Carrillo says. “Our job board -- CPGjoblist -- is industry specific. And as research has shown, industry-specific boards are much more effective than megaboards,” Carrillo says. “That’s why more than one hundred of the consumer packaged goods industry’s leading employers count on us to find the talent they need.”

TROUBLES, YES. RECESSION, NO. The economy may be in trouble but new numbers prove the U.S. is not in a recession yet and may still avoid one. Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States -- increased at a unexpectedly large annual rate of 3.3 percent in the second quarter of 2008, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That is the fastest pace in nearly a year. The GDP growth topped Wall Street expectations. In the first quarter, real GDP increased only 0.9 percent, sparking talk of recession.
