2007
Minnesota State College-Southeast Technical, Deanna Voth, Director of Human Resources: "I am so pleased to have the college as a partner in a community effort addressing local employment opportunities. Through the partnership between Red Wing and NationJob, and Winona and NationJob there is another opportunity for new community members to have another tool to look for a job. I also appreciate the contact from the NationJob service rep. The rep is always providing me with other ways to incorporate NationJob's basic service into our recruiting efforts."
Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, Grier Blackwelder, President: "NationJob has allowed our members to attract prospective employees in the hard to find areas such as healthcare and education. It has been invaluable in retention and attracting members to our organization."
Maryland Chamber of Commerce, Kathy Snyder, CCE, President/CEO: "A number of our members have used NationJob for two or more years and value having such a broad network of qualified applicants to fill their workforce needs here in Maryland.“
Red Wing Area Chamber of Commerce, Minnesota, Arne Skyberg, President: "The NationJob program has given us a quality tool to attract & retain employees for our chamber members. This geographic approach to recruitment is becoming more important as employees increasingly value where they live. Our local economy has a strong tourism component and we use NationJob to recruit and convert visitors to employees and residents."
Meadowlands Regional Chamber, New Jersey, Jim Kirkos, President & CEO: “The Nation Job web portal has enabled our Chamber to deliver a needed solution for our members. Our JOBS Initiative had immediate credibility with large and small employers alike and is growing month by month. The NationJob team helped make this a seamless and effortless program.”
Greater Greenville Chamber, Michelle Brinn, VP: ”With the move to the Community Sponsorship program, we were able to grow our NationJob site using the job-posting service. The NationJob website serves employers and job seekers in our community with equal levels of high-quality service and ease of use. The service has been a tool for economic development, workforce development and talent recruitment (which are essentially linked to the economic success of a community). The quality of service provided by NationJob to the sponsors is clearly evident by the repeated support (year after year) by each of the sponsors.”
Previous Years
ACCE (American Chamber of Commerce Executives), Mick Fleming, President: Position: Director of Communications and Marketing. "I got three great folks from the posting we already did. Your service is fantastic -- almost like you prequalified the responses. I'm hereby sold forever on NationJob!"
Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce, Bob McCoy, President: "The Chamber was able to use NationJob as an incentive to add to the package to attract United Health Care to the Eau Claire community. They relocated 15 offices across the country into one in Eau Claire and the NationJob program allowed them to have access to the "trailing spouse" possibilities. This was one of the reasons they immediately joined the Chamber - to have access to NationJob."
Wichita Chamber of Commerce, Jim Schwarzenberger, Vice President: "The Wichita NationJob Network is a great membership service and source for non-dues revenue. Members who use the service refer to it as a tangible return on their chamber investment with many saying the service is now their primary resource for reaching skilled workers. It has been a key sales tool for us for more than eight years and NationJob consistently ranks as one of the top destinations on our web site."
Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce, John Casper, Executive Vice President: "The NationJob trailing spouse feature is critical to local employment. We need to continue to think of ways of making the Oshkosh area an attractive place to live and work. By considering the entire family, as opposed to just one single employee, we are opening up a new realm of employment opportunities for local companies. A spouse's ability to find employment often weighs heavily on a family's decision to move to a new community."
Marshalltown Area Chamber of Commerce, Ken Anderson, President: "That is a nice aspect of the service, as Chamber staff does not need to dedicate time to the electronic maintenance of the service."
Stuart-Martin County Chamber of Commerce, Ken Ferguson: "Please remove the ad for a part-time Advertising Sales position at the Chamber. We filled the position, another testimony that NationJob works."
WIKA Instrument Corporation, Ron Taylor, Human Resources Director: "We've already made placements from your site and it came in handy in a different situation. A valuable employee who's a senior design engineer at WIKA was offered a job in San Jose, California, the heart of Silicon Valley. After he told me the salary offered, I went to the NationJob site to use the cost-of-living comparison calculator. It showed that he'd have to make over $120,000 just to stay at the same standard of living he enjoys in Georgia. The offer wasn't close to that figure, so we gave him a merit raise and he stayed with WIKA."
WIKA Instrument Corporation, Ron Taylor, Human Resources Director: "We immediately took advantage of what NationJob was offering to Gwinnett Chamber members and viewed this as another means to increase our recruiting efforts. Based upon the fee schedule and promised level of service, we felt the opportunity was too good to pass up. The customer service level at NationJob is extraordinary and I am getting resumes on a daily basis from our job postings. This is truly a unique and affordable recruiting tool every company should try and see if they reap the same rewards."
