Jobcasting Site Podcasts Job Searches
Mar 6th, 2007 | By James Lewin | Category: Audio Podcasting, Corporate Podcasts, StrangeJobsinPods.com is a new service that advertises jobs through audio podcast interviews & via the site’s blog.
Podcasts start at $300 per podcast, with discounts for multiple podcasts.
“Recruiting is marketing,” says C.M. Russell, the founder of Jobs in Pods. “We allow employers to bring their jobs to life and connect with job seekers in ways the traditional job description can’t touch. This is a strategic marketing tool for forward thinking employers who want to stand out in the job market.”
The company conducts 15-20 minute interviews; participants are given an informal script to prepare. “We do all the work says,” says Russell. “All you have to do is pick up the phone and talk to us.”
Jobcasting is still relatively uncharted territory. While jobcasts may offer a more compelling presentation than text, they face major challenges in the areas of searchability and adoption.
