CKR Interactive Presents at Kennedy/Onrec Online Recruitment Conference & Expo 2009October 26, 2009 Melyssa Bernstein, Emerging Media Specialist for global recruitment advertisement agency CKR Interactive, will be a panel moderator at the Kennedy/Onrec Online Recruitment Conference & Expo 2009, to be held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, in Chicago on November 2-4, 2009. The panel is entitled, "Corporate Career Sites: What Separates the Best from the Rest?" The focus will be on which career sites can be deemed truly innovative now that the lexicon of Web 2.0 technology, including widgets, dashboards, social media channels, SEO, and blogs, have become commonplace in corporate recruitment vernacular. The panelists will discuss companies that have gone beyond the typical corporate site accoutrements to craft a message that resonates with candidates. "A career site is critical in today's market and really has become the hub of any recruitment program," Bernstein said. "The career site allows a company to convey who they are and how they work. Deciding on a new career is a huge decision, and an in-depth site with relevant content and tools to communicate with recruiters can really help guide the process." When asked to single out examples of superlative career hubs, Bernstein highlighted Target, Yahoo!, and Best Buy. "Best Buy's diversity site is a good example; even the URL engages people with a question: CanYouBeYou.com," Bernstein said. "It contains a blog, so content is fresh and updated regularly. Yahoo! takes engagement to a whole new level by inviting visitors into their âSandbox' to check out new products and provide feedback. The cutting-edge content gives candidates an idea of ongoing projects and a true sense of the culture." Bernstein has an extensive background in hospitality management and advertising. She is also a former employee of a search engine optimization firm and holds a degree in advertising and PR. Currently she oversees a number of clients and assists the agency with social media initiatives.

Please Support Our EVP Ronni Rogers & the chRONNIcle COURAGE Team's Efforts to Save Lives and End Breast Cancer ForeverOctober 12, 2009 The chRONNIcle Courage team, which will walk in support of breast cancer patient Ronni Rogers at the 14th Annual Komen Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Race for the Cure®, has surpassed its initial fundraising goal in 48 hours using a range of social media platforms and tactics. The early success places the team among the top fundraising groups in the South Florida walk and has motivated them to more than double their original goal of $2,500 to $5,500. Captain Georgia Dardick and her teammates used a variety of social media channels to let people know about chRONNIcle Courage and to drive supporters to the online donation page. Among the components, a Facebook group helped the team get the word out to friends, family and professional contacts, as well as provide status updates. All team members are also currently using the chRONNIcle Courage logo for their Facebook profile pictures. In addition, Rogers' 16-year old son started his own Facebook group for the cause, attracting 100 members in just three hours. LinkedIn emails to professional contacts â some established more than 25 years ago â also generated donations, and additional social media efforts by Dardick connected her with people from the early days of her career at JWT Advertising (formerly known as J. Walter Thompson). It was at JWT that Dardick first met Rogers and began what would become a decades-long friendship. The two reunited professionally in 2003 to launch the East Coast operations for CKR Interactive, where Rogers is currently Executive Vice President. Rounding out the social media effort, team members also tweeted about the event to their Twitter followers and sent text messages to contacts via their mobile devices. "We were amazed that we were able to meet our fundraising goal so quickly," notes Dardick. "But even more amazing has been seeing the people who love Ronni unite in her support. It's truly a testament to the many lives she has touched over the years." To support the chRONNIcle Courage team, please visit their fundraising page or contact us.

CKR Interactive Develops Award-Winning Rural Recruitment Marketing CampaignJune 11, 2009 CKR Interactive has developed a recruitment marketing plan for healthcare leader Banner Health that has not only brought in experienced candidates, but multiple awards as well. Specifically, the agency developed a multimedia campaign to help the Phoenix, Arizona-based healthcare system recruit top talent for its rural facilities. This campaign is tailored to promote the benefits of small town living, a local workplace and Banner Health's excellent employer brand, and address the hardships of healthcare recruiting in rural areas. To create and launch the campaign, CKR Interactive did thorough research that included migration trends and demographics for all the various hard-to-fill positions at Banner Health, and crafted an entire media campaign that focused on drawing people to consider moving to a small town. CKR Interactive created a website specifically for this campaign, as well as a variety of print and rotating banner ads that focused on key selling factors of living in a small town. CKR Interactive then tracked the success of these ads using its media tracking product, Recruitment Media Metrics™, and found that the ads have brought in a large increase of site traffic. These ads have received numerous awards, including HealthLeaders Media and Aster awards, and have also been found by the Ad-Q Studies division of Harvey Research, Inc. to be the best performing ads when competing against other recruitment-based ads in publications. "We're very pleased with the performance of the "Small Town Living" campaign to date," explained Amiksha Patel, Director of Healthcare at CKR Interactive. "We'll continue to track the number of applications received and hired made from this campaign, in order to provide Banner Health with an analysis of the ROI and recommendations for future campaigns."
