CPGJOBLIST IS A PROUD MEMBER OF:

Another great year working
together--thanks to you

“At the end of 2006 we mark a year of extraordinary partnership with our clients,” says Michael Carrillo, president of CPGjoblist, “and we have you to thank for that.”

“Our focus is on our client’s return on investment,” according to Carrillo. “The more you use our service, the greater your return. You pay for only what you need, and if you don’t find the candidate you want, we offer a 100 percent guarantee. The only risk with CPGjoblist is not using our services.”

“You’ve worked side-by-side with us this year to keep your talent pipeline flowing and put a human face on recruiting,” Carrillo said. “Every time you’ve posted a new opening, hired one our candidates, recommended us to your colleagues, or used our network for candidate referrals, you’ve increased CPGjoblist’s recruiting power--and yours. We could not attract so many diverse, high-quality candidates without your active participation in our referral and recruiting network.”

Future of recruiting

CPGjoblist works on "the referral ripple effect," Carrillo notes. "Every candidate is the beginning of a new network, which is why we believe in full candidate ownership. It means companies can use any candidate referred by us as long as they want. This brings more candidates back to you in turn, filling your talent pipeline through the power of networking." Instead of darting from requisition to requisition, CPGjoblist helps your recruiters build long-term referral networks. “It’s the future of recruiting,” he says, “and with us, it’s here now.”

CPGjoblist’s candidate recruiting services were established in 2001 as an offshoot of the company’s full-service recruiting agency. “Our clients asked us to combine the best attributes of online candidate systems with person-to-person outreach and support. The result is a unique portfolio of candidate recruiting services tailored to each client.”

The service has grown steadily. “Our website reaches more than 1.2 million CPG candidates a year, and our semi-monthly job alert reaches more than 12,000 active job seekers. We now represent more than 100 leading industry employers, from ACNielsen to Zillow, Inc., and the number increases every month.”

The human element is key, Carrillo says. “We know our clients, the industry and our candidates, and we provide constant client support and personal candidate outreach. Our widely recognized service is essential to our success—and yours. It’s what makes us different from resume-collecting systems that attract unqualified candidates and create more work for you. If you use us correctly, we give you more time for actual recruiting as well as excellent candidates."

Unlimited service

CPGjoblist has increased in options as well as size. “Our new Unlimited Service keeps a steady flow of top industry candidates flowing through your talent pipeline,” Carrillo says. Clients get unlimited standard job postings for a flat fee tailored to anticipated volume, simplifying budgeting. “Unlimited Service is a cost-effective way to grow your candidate networks exponentially and extend our support throughout your organization.”

CPGjoblist also offers commission-free recruiting from its nationwide network of experienced industry recruiters. Clients pay a fixed fee and get complete candidate ownership on all submitted candidates, promoting future networking. CPGjoblist’s Professional Recruiting offers turnkey service, personal support, online candidate tracking, and a wide range of outreach extras.

The new year will bring new upgrades, as well, including more precise data mining, expanded candidate profiles and increased candidate-response tools. “These upgrades will create a ready database of qualified CPG executives excited about your company, and help you find just the right candidate for each position.”

Scalable

CPGjoblist provides customized service that’s scalable from industry giants to fast-growing startups. “ConAgra and the Kellogg Company are two companies that have recently chosen to ‘max out’ their CPGjoblist relationship by opting for Unlimited Service customized to their anticipated volume. CPGjoblist’s Unlimited, Standard, Premium and Recruiting options can also be tailored to small companies with smaller recruitment needs,” he says.

“The good news is that economy is strong and retail sales are booming. The bad news is that competition for executive talent is as tight as it’s ever been, and will get tighter. We believe 2007 will be a good year for companies that have the right people in the right seats. We have the tools to help you do that, and we look forward to serving you in the exciting months ahead.”

DIVERSITY NEWS: The path to diversity is paved with accountability, according to a new report from DiversityInc. “Businesses succeed by holding their executives accountable for meeting measurable, obtainable goals. Diversity management, as an integral part of the line operations of a business, cannot succeed without that same level of accountability.” The magazine says CEO vision is the critical first step, followed by such measures as scorecarding, plans and surveys, and compensation tied to diversity management goalsHuman capital is “the greatest source of competitive advantage for corporations beginning to sell products and services into new emerging markets around the world,” says Peter Wright, vice president, HR Refining and Marketing for British Petroleum. “Success requires more than simply hiring the talent -- companies must ensure they have the organizational capabilities and procedures in place to best align the skills of their workforce with their strategic objectives.” Wright shared his comments at the Hunt-Scanlon Human Capital Forum last month in London.
