1 "SPORTS JUNKIES" OR TOURISTS? WHAT COLLEGE SPORTS FANS "DO" WHEN ATTENDING A GAME Lori Pennington-Gray, Heather Gibson, and Charles W. Lane, University of Florida In recent years, sport related travel or sport tourism has increasingly gained attention both among academics and practitioners. Sport tourism is described as travel for the purpose of participating in, watching, or venerating sport (Gibson, 1998). Much of the existing literature has focused on event sport tourism, that is, travel associated with watching sports events, particularly mega or hallmark events. The term hallmark event refers to "major fairs, expositions, cultural, and sporting events of international status which are held on either a regular or one time basis" (Hall, 1989, p. 263). Hallmark events are generally thought to help position a host city as an international tourist destination and facilitate touristic activity in the years following the event (Hall, 1992b; Ritchie, 1984). However, while some researchers have discussed the positive impacts of hallmark events (Gratton, Shibli, & Dobson, 2000; Ritchie & Smith, 1991), scholars have increasingly recognized the downsides associated with these events (Matzitelli, 1989; Hall & Hodges, 1996; Obrams & Brons, 1999; Ritchie, 1999). Thus, given the challenges associated with hallmark events, Higham (1999) suggested that small-scale sports events might be more likely to have positive effects for host communities. He defined small-scale sports events as "regular season sporting competitions (ice hockey, basketball, soccer, rugby leagues), international sporting fixtures, domestic competitions, or disabled sports, and the like" (p. 87). Furthermore, Higham explained small-scale sports events usually operate within existing infrastructures, require minimal investments of public funds, are more manageable in terms of crowding and congestion compared to hallmark events, and seem to minimize the effects of seasonality. To date, the literature on small-scale sport events is sparse (Garnham, 1996; Green & Chalip, 1998; Higham & Hinch, 2001; Irwin & Sandier, 1998; Walo & Breen, 1996). This is particularly noticeable when it comes to the use of college sport as a community tourist attraction (Irwin & Sandier, 1998). In the US, college-sports events have the potential to increase city revenue and community spirit, while increasing traveler's awareness of the local community. Irwin and Sandier (1998) were among the first to recognize the tourism-related potential of fans traveling to watch college-sports events. They concentrated their investigation on people who attended ten US collegiate championships. They found that fans spent the most on lodging and retail shopping and that fans with a particular team affiliation spent more time and money at the destination. In conclusion, the authors suggested that future research on college sport and tourism should segment the analysis of fan behaviors by team affiliation. They further recommended that tourism agencies in cities hosting such events should work more closely with each other and with the universities involved to actively market the event and provide more information about the destination to potential sport tourists. Following these recommendations Gibson, Willming and Holdnak (2000; 2001) investigated the tourism-related behaviors of Gator fans who attended University of Florida (UF) football games (American football). In a two-year study, Gibson et al., found that many of the Gator fans traveled to Gainesville throughout the year to watch not only football, but a range of sports including basketball and baseball. They regarded Gainesville as a "Mecca" and their journeys as pilgrimages. Indeed, on football game-days, the psychic income that Garnham (1996) found associated with hosting small-scale sport tourism events was very much evident. Gibson et al., found that the fans contributed economically to the community primarily through lodging and food expenditures. Some fans mentioned retail shopping as part of their game day routines, but on the whole their primary motivation was to tailgate and watch the game. As Faulkner, Tideswell and Weston (1998) suggested, sports fans tend to be unimotivational when it comes to their sport-related travel and it may be hard to persuade them to take part in other tourism activities. Fans of all ages spoke of treating the away games as mini-vacations and arriving a day or so before the game so that they could "see some of the sights". From these insights, Gibson et al., hypothesized that the tourism benefits for small communities may lie in leveraging the events to fans of the visiting teams. However, because their studies focused on Gator fans, the question as to whether away fans are more likely to participate in a wider range of touristic activities remained unanswered. Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study was to investigate the participation patterns of both Gator and away fans in a range of tourism activities and to assess the images that these two groups of fans hold of Gainesville, Florida- the home of the University of Florida Gators and Alachua County. The research questions guiding this study were: (1) What activities do fans participate in when they a visit Gainesville for a football game? (2) Do away fans participate in a greater number of activities than home fans? (3) Is there a difference in the types of activities that home and away fans participate in? (4) Do home fans hold different images of the County than away fans?
2 Methods Data were collected at three home football games in Gainesville, Florida in the fall of Specifically, this project was part of a larger yearlong study that examined all types of visitors to Gainesville and Alachua County Florida. A fixed choice questionnaire contained items asking about mode of transportation, demographic characteristics, number of people in the travel party, number of nights away, type of accommodation, types of information sources used to make the travel decisions, participation in 20 local activities, when the decision to participate in those activities occurred, and 23 items measuring various images of the City of Gainesville and Alachua County. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 10. Respondents were recoded into "home fans" and "away fans." Zip codes from the three states of the visiting teams were used to compute the "away team," whereas zip codes from the State of Florida were used to compute the "home team." Total activity participation was computed by summing all activities participated in by each person. Activity participation was measured dichotomously. Crosstabs were used to examine the differences in activity participation by team affiliation. Images of the county were measured on a 5-point scale, where 1 indicated strongly disagree and 5 indicated strongly agree. T-tests were used to examine the image differences and total activity participation between the two groups of fans. Results What activities do fans participate in? The most popular activities for both home fans and away fans were attending a University of Florida sporting event (other than the football game), dining out, shopping/antiquing, taking in the nightlife, and attending a non-university sporting event such as the "Gone Riding Florida State Championship Mountain Bike Series". Do away fans participate in a greater number of activities than home fans? The data indicated that home fans participated in more activities than away fans. Home fans participated in an average of 2.2 activities, whereas, away fans participated in an average of 2.0 activities. Is there a difference in the types of activities that home and away fans participate in? In general, both home and away fans participate in similar activities. However, statistically, home fans were more likely to dine out or attend a non-university related sporting event; whereas, away fans were more likely to go tubing in the springs. Do home fans hold different images of the county than away fans? Visitors seemed pleased with what Gainesville and Alachua County had to offer. Images of Alachua County were measured on a 5-point Likert scale, where 1 was excellent and 5 was poor. All items scored 2.04 or lower indicating that all items were considered good or excellent. People were most satisfied with the quality of sporting events in the county. Other aspects of the county that rated highly were the friendliness of the people, attractiveness of the scenery, good opportunity to increase knowledge, quality of natural areas and good place to come for the day. Home fans rated all seven differences more positively than away fans. Discussion The findings of this study suggest that college sports events attract a significant proportion of fans from outside of the local community and, as such support the proposition that small-scale sport tourism events may be beneficial for communities. Faulkner et al (1998) postulated that traveling fans tend to be "sport junkies," interested in little else besides "the game." This study tends to support this thesis somewhat as the most popular activities were dining out, attending other sports events, night life, and shopping, all common activities among sports fans (Garnham, 1996; Irwin & Sandier, 1998). However, the findings also suggest that both the home and the away fans might hold some untapped potential for tourism development within the community. Some fans may be persuaded to engage in other activities such as tubing in the springs. Perhaps the lack of participation in a range of activities by the away fans stems from a lack of awareness of what the region has to offer. When fans travel to well-known destinations such as New Orleans, knowledge about the destination may precede the fan's visit (Gibson, et al., 2001). However, when fans come to watch UF, they may be unaware of what the county has to offer. Thus, we suggest that the Visitor and Convention Bureau (VCB) and the university need to actively leverage the "away fan" market in particular, by raising their awareness of what the county has to offer and organizing special events to coincide with their visit. The positive images that both sets of fans hold of the county seems to suggest that both home and away fans might be persuaded to explore more of the county's attractions. The fact that home fans rated all images more positively than away fans may support the notion of "in group favoritism" (Tajfel, 1978). References Faulkner, B., Tideswell, C., & Weston, A. (1998).

GREENVILLE, N.C. — After a sluggish start in Wednesday afternoon's American Athletic Conference opener, the Tulane men's basketball team woke up and used a huge run to come from behind and defeat East Carolina 67-59 in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum.
ECU (7-7, 0-1 AAC) jumped out to a 24-10 lead over the first 12 minutes of the game, but the Green Wave (10-3, 1-0 AAC) rattled off a 25-2 run to close the half to lead 35-26 at halftime. Tulane junior Louis Dabney scored nine points during the run, while sophomore Kajon Mack added six points on a pair of 3-pointers.
The Pirates' only two points during that eight-minute stretch came from the free-throw line.
The nine-point lead at halftime was the largest of the game for Tulane. ECU was able to chip away at the deficit in the second half and cut the score to 48-47 eight minutes into the half with a 9-2 run, but Dabney and Mack answered with jumpers of their own.
ECU got within one point two more times as the game progressed, including 54-53 with 7:04 left, but Tulane closed the game by scoring 13 of the last 16 points to secure the program's first win in the American Athletic Conference.
"First off, credit Jeff (Lebo) and his ballclub," Tulane coach Ed Conroy said. "They really answered the bell and came out with a lot more intensity and purpose and had us on our heels.
"Then I'm proud of our guys with the way we responded in the last eight minutes of the first half especially. Several guys stepped up for us from a leadership role during that time, but none bigger than our back court of Dabney, (Jonathan) Stark and Mack."
Dabney finished with 19 points, including 13 in the first half and Mack had 10 points. Stark led the Green Wave with 22 points, that included four 3-pointers. Dabey and Mack each dropped a pair of 3-pointers as well.
Both teams shot well from the floor. Tulane connected on 26-of-48 field goals (54.2 percent), including 63.6 percent in the first half.
The Green Wave connected on 8 of 13 3-pointers and hit 7 of 8 free throws. ECU shot 47.6 percent (20 of 42) from the floor and made 10 of 19 3-pointers.

I don't know who is doing this but he/she is doing an excelent work with these manips. , they seem legit (but sadly they are not)
what do you think.? do we have a chance to see Tahno in the season finale?
God, I hope so. I won't hold my breath, but I will cross my fingers.
I LOVE THESE SOOOO MUCH! One of them even confused me!
He's got ti show up!! Brake can't deny us our feels!!!!!! Dx
They look great.
I hope so, I mean they can't ignore the fandom's increasingly dislike for Makorra forever. I may not of ever liked Kaaang as a pairing but then again it wasn't thrown in our faces constantly like Makorra is. I mean after all isn't the point of a ship to speculate at the what if? Not alter character's to their liking.
WHOEVER KEEPS DOING THIS MAKES ME CRY, BECAUSE IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN... *Sniffle*
Seriously, this person rocks at manips.

7 Healthy Foods For Glowing Skin and Hair
Rinku Patel
17 Aug 2015
Though there are umpteen number of ways in which your hair and skin can be remedied with cosmetic oils, creams, hydrating masks and chemical treatments, their effect is temporary. But if you wish to tackle these problems naturally from the root, take a minute to consider what you're eating - and drinking. Here's a list that tells you which food is good for skin and homemade
tips for glowing skin
that we've compiled for you to follow for healthy skin and hair.
We know that you've heard it time and again, but truly, you can never get enough. Water has many scientific functions that help our body remain healthy. Besides making up for 70% of your body and keeping you hydrated, it helps carry nutrients and oxygen to the cells and helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients from the food we eat to make them accessible to the body. Water helps flush out all toxins from the body, a big problem that can affect how much your skin breaks out. It also assists the kidneys and liver to get rid of out waste and helps regulate your body temperature. Therefore, water is a major player in your overall health and the health of your skin, specifically. The skin uses nutrients from food to function and needs oxygen.
If you wish to boost the moisture and elasticity of your skin and keep it intact, then make sure to include celery and cumber in your diet. Cucumber is best food for skin glow. Also make sure that you eat a salad with plenty of both to keep your skin young and supple.
A brilliant hair food, Salmon is another great catch that's loaded with protein, fish oil and selenium. These special ingredients play a vital role in strengthening and encouraging a healthy hair growth.
Rich in vitamin B5 and B12, eggs are a great food for healthy hair, as they are rich in vitamin and proteins that stimulate hair growth. Eggs are also enriched with Biotins that thicken the hair shaft.
Flax Seeds
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, flax seeds give an instant boost to your skin's ability to hold onto moisture. Your skin has a natural barrier to retain moisture and these fatty acids play an essential role in forming that barrier. The proteins and fatty acids in Omega-3 help to repair cell membranes, and are generally anti-inflammatory, which can have a dramatically positive impact on the skin.
Walnuts are truly a super food since they naturally contain huge amounts of fatty acid nutrients that benefit the human body in profound ways. Besides being immensely powerful for the overall health of the body, walnuts are also one of the best
homemade tips for glowing skin
and lustrous hair.
If you're lacking protein that delivers the building blocks for hair, the hair that you build is likely to be brittle and dry. Getting a good amount of protein from healthy sources like quinoa, nuts and seeds, and lean meats will help you to build strong, healthy hair from the very beginning.
So make sure that you incorporate these nutritious foods in your everyday diets feel an instant difference in your skin and hair. If you have your own special ingredients or homemade tips for glowing skin and hair, don't forget to share it with us.

"In a word: awesome! The pilot, Robin, was amazing. Very professional. Very engaging. The only negative would be the person at the reception desk at the airport (Johns Island Executive Airport). She was rude and did notify us of when our Pilot returned from his last flight, resulting in us wasting about 25 minutes. Other than that, it was a very wonderful experience."

- Stop at Kaminari Sushi, locally owned and run for nearly a century, serving 7 of the freshest handmade sushi and 1 drink while having conversation with the sushi master.
This 3-hour Osaka Night Food Tour will take you on an unforgettable eating excursion through the less frequented parts of Minami (South) Osaka. Starting on the the heavily populated Dotonbori area on a bridge overlooking the inner canal we will quickly head into the fray past the Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who won a race at the 5th Far Eastern Sport Championship Games in 1921. When he crossed the finish line, his face was beaming with a big smile which gave favorable and healthy impressions. Having seen his smile, Glico, a large Japanese food conglomerate, decided to adopt it for their image. which inspired the Japan nation for years to come. Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotonbori often lead you astray to commercialized restaurants with queues of tourists outside while we want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a locals guidance. Quickly darting from the crowd we will take a secret alley not long after we begin the tour toward the shrines wedged out of sight from the average passerby.
After making it through the hidden alley ways we will make our first stop at a traditionally untraditional Japanese spot. Known for its impressive selection of fresh food, you will have a chance to reach out and touch the food you want to make up your meal. There will be 4 choices in all but the decision will be tough as there are just too many to choose from!
After our first smorgasbord meal, we will take you down a narrow alley to show you some of the more unconventional restaurants and pubs. One in particular that looks almost like a barbershop with its old leather clad, fixtured chairs up against the bar for the local Japanese to really unwind from their day.
Our guide will then lead you to Kaminari Sushi, arguably the best sushi restaurant in all of Osaka. Standing the test of time for nearly 100 years, this local shop fits just enough seats for our tour and will be some of the most succulent sushi you will ever eat. Our guests will enjoy 7 kinds of sushi and 1 drink. With the sushi master being very open to conversation from his guests, he will gladly answer any questions you may have about his craft.
From there, we will walk past the owl cafe to its second floor where you will be overwhelmed at the number of unorthodox bars, one after another. Every 5 feet there is a new door with a new adventure to be had.
Our final stop will take you into the depths of a corner shop, with nothing really that eye-popping outside to let customers know what is actually down there. In the basement of a corner building you will find the most amazing combination of activities. A local celebrity and stunt man opens his make-shift dojo to guests to come and see a demonstration of traditional ninja "magic" and skills. While the demonstration is going on, you will also be taught how to cook your own takoyaki from his support staff. This experience will never be forgotten given the master's dedication to his craft.
Meeting Point

A sphygmomanometer is a tool that measures blood pressure. It is composed of an inflatable cuff with an attached pressure gauge and a tube with a bulb at the end to inflate the cuff. It is used with a stethoscope to determine blood pressure. Two measurements are taken: systolic pressure--blood pressure while the heart is contracting, and diastolic pressure--blood pressure while the heart is relaxed, or filling. Normal blood pressure range is anything less than 120 mm Hg for systolic and 80 mm Hg for diastolic.
Things You'll Need
- Sphygmomanometer
- Stethoscope
Wrap the blood pressure cuff snugly around the upper arm of the patient. Place the pads of your index and middle fingers on the front of the elbow until you feel a pulse. Position the arrow labeled 'artery' above the area where the pulse was felt.
Place the end of the stethoscope over the area where you felt the pulse. With your other hand, hold the bulb attached to the sphygmomanometer. Turn the release valve clockwise until it is closed. Pump up the cuff until the gauge hits 180 mm Hg.
Slowly turn the release valve counter-clockwise until the cuff begins to deflate.
Listen for the patient's heartbeat. When you hear it, look at the gauge and note the number that the needle is pointing to. Each dash represents one mm Hg and numbers typically appear at 10 mm Hg intervals. This number is the patient's systolic blood pressure.
Watch the gauge as you continue to listen to the heartbeat. At some point you will no longer hear the beating. Record the number that this occurs at. This number is the patient's diastolic blood pressure. Release the rest of the air out of the cuff and remove it from the patient.

In business in Notting Hill since 1939, Geales opened a second branch, in Chelsea Green, only a few years ago. The menu is comfortingly old-fashioned – a list of dishes from the 1970s is displayed on the wall and apart from the current absence of Bajan flying fish, little seems to have changed. Prawn cocktail and sticky toffee pudding have timeless appeal (especially in Chelsea, it seems). Atlantic prawns, served shell-on with aïoli, had a proper snap to them, but a dozen maldon rock oysters weren't the best specimens we've had.
Mains include Scottish mussels, a lobster and shellfish platter to share, fish pie, and lobster tagliatelle – the last featured a rather cloying tomatoey sauce and lobster chunks that, although chunky, didn't taste of much. Most people are here for the posh fish and chips, and rightly so: a large hunk of cod, falling into fat white flakes, came encased in featherlight crispy batter. Chips cost extra, but were fine examples: firm, fluffy and golden.
Looks aren't up to much: white tablecloths and black leather chairs in a nondescript room. To drink, there's a shortish wine list and a trio of Meantime bottled beers, but this is SW3, so surely it's got to be champers – top-quality bubbles from Ridgeview in Sussex, in fact.

I've been 3 times at Geales and always looked forwarded to returning to such a delightful place and always left disappointed for the quality of the food served. What a waste. This place needs a new management.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/7/2013 (1469 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Cash from crooks will see nearly $120,000 go to police in Morden, Winkler and Altona, Justice Minister Andrew Swan said today.
The funds come from the province's criminal property forfeiture program with half of the $120,000 to be used to outfit a new, dedicated vehicle for the K9 unit in Morden, which also provides its services to neighbouring communities.
The purchase will help to improve response times and increase the likelihood of a successful police operation, Swan said. The K9 unit was first established in Morden in 2010 to help track suspects and locate illegal drugs.
"No community is immune to the effects of crime," Swan said. "It's important to invest in specialized equipment across the province and expand the tools available to law enforcement agencies to uphold the law and keep residents safe."
The Altona Police Service has received more than $44,700 to purchase a new digital fingerprinting system that will provide nearly instant results, Swan said. The previous method of checking fingerprints could take up to 120 days for routine, non-criminal matters. The system can also be accessed by law enforcement agencies in other communities including Winkler and Morden and the rural municipalities of Rhineland and Montcalm.
The Winkler Police Agency will upgrade 10 FleetNet radios to allow the use of an encrypted radio channel with a grant of over $15,000. The new system will improve officer safety and the overall success of police operations when executing search warrants because suspects and other members of the public will be unable to pick up police information on scanners.
Since the Criminal Property Forfeiture Act was put in place in 2010, more than $5 million in assets has been forfeited to the province. More forfeiture proceedings are in process, with more than 200 files being pursued involving vehicles, houses, rural properties and cash.

When Corruption Ain't Corrupt
As you might expect, the Super Bowl brought a wide cast of characters to town. Some were looking to score tickets, get drunk or get lucky. Some are looking for redemption.
In town to work a private security detail at Dolphin Stadium over the weekend, Ed Figueroa spent a weekday talking with old colleagues at the Miami Police Department. He was hoping to get a job there once again and finally move past the stigma he's lived with for the past ten years.
Over a cafe au lait at a downtown coffee shop, Figueroa, a burly, bearded 45-year-old with a jet black ponytail, talked about trying to pick up the pieces of his life since being charged with corruption as a city police officer. "Not all cops accused of corruption have been bad ones."
In 1995, Figueroa was fired for allegedly lying to superiors and listening in to restricted police radio channels, among other things. After challenging the charges, Figueroa was cleared in 1998 and reinstated. A few months later, he resigned, humiliated by his new desk post and ready to move on.

Figueroa pinned his hopes on a federal suit against the department, but a judge threw the case out after Figueroa's attorney twice failed to show up to court.
So, for the last eight years, Figueroa has, among other things, worked as a truck driver, landscaper and Wal-Mart detective of sorts in North Carolina. A three-year stint with a local sheriff's office up there ended when the assistant chief fired Figueroa, calling him "unmanageable." Figueroa doesn't deny that he can be bullheaded and idealistic, but he insists the real reason for the firing was his threat to call out the assistant chief for allegedly taking male prisoners out of county lock up to have sex with them. Shortly after Figueroa's firing, the assistant chief was sentenced to 12 years in prison for exactly that, Figueroa said.
Either way, Figueroa has been unable to outrun his past in Miami. Most police jobs are out of the question, he said, because of the taint of the charges levied against him in Miami. "(Prospective employers) get on Google, and what's the first thing that comes up?"
From North Carolina, Figueroa has watched with frustration as former colleagues climbed the command ladder in Miami. He desperately wants another chance. By Thursday, however, he hadn't heard back from anyone at Miami PD. He was feeling dejected.
"I believe in moving forward, but when you try to live in the present and your past haunts you...."

Bill Gross started Idealab in 1996 to create and operate pioneering technology companies. The structure of Idealab has allowed it to test many ideas at once and turn the best of them into companies, attracting the human and financial capital necessary to bring them to market.
Many of these companies were among the first to introduce new business ideas to the market. CitySearch, now a part of InterActive Corp., established the category of local online community directories. eToys demonstrated the tremendous potential for online consumer retail and became one of the most recognized brands during the early days of e-commerce. Overture Services, which began life as GoTo.com, was the first company to introduce the concept of paid search. Now part of Yahoo!, Overture's business model is the underpinning of a multibillion-dollar online search market.
Idealab continues to explore a range of technology frontiers. New models for improving the search experience are at the core of several companies currently growing inside of Idealab. Moving beyond the Internet, it has spawned companies with breakthrough technologies in robotics (Evolution Robotics), three-dimensional printing (Desktop Factory) and renewable energy (Energy Innovations), among others. Idealab also continues to partner with leading venture capital firms and other strategic investors to provide the resources to maximize the potential of these companies.

Finding the Skilled Employees You Need to Grow
As demand for skilled employees continues to rise, companies face a changing marketplace to find, attract and develop the skilled talent they need to grow their businesses. On the one hand, changes in the recruiting marketplace have made it easier to search for candidates - and for candidates to find you. On the other, it is easier for your competitors to poach your employees, thus actually tightening the talent market. The good news is that you can leverage the top recruitment techniques to attract and bring onboard the employees your business needs.
Matching new hire skills to those necessary for job performance is a priority in recruitment. From training to job performance and longevity, employees whose skills meet recruitment needs are much more cost-effective as a whole. Onboarding skilled employees can also reduce your recruitment costs as well as potential "brain drain".
Recruitment techniques
Defining a strategy to get the skills you need
A well-defined recruiting strategy simplifies your search for talent. A few well thought out steps, consistently performed by your HR department or external recruiting resource can narrow the field to candidates who are a fit for your company. The same process can be used for internal hiring, since it incorporates all the steps you need to ensure the right employee is trained/maintained for the right job.
1) Create accurate job descriptions, with exact skill sets and personality attributes necessary for a successful fit.
2) Develop a profile of a successful candidate by examining existing employees in the desired position and amalgamating the skills necessary to be a top performer.
3) Create your position marketing around the job description and profile and distribute to appropriate recruitment vehicles, both online and off.
4) Cull submitted resumes for the best candidates then screen through telephone interviews, using a consistent set of interview questions pre-determined by the job requirements.
5) Use an assessment tool (such as customized packages offered by McKinsey, Dale Carnegie or Hudson) to assess your potential candidates.
6) Schedule face-to-face interviews, again using a set of consistent questions in order to fairly compare applicants.
7) Select your candidate and make an offer.
While seemingly basic, defining and consistently working toward fulfilling your recruitment strategy will help uncover talent that will be an asset to your business plans and overall growth.
Building your Recruiting brand
Your company's recruiting brand becomes especially important in a tight labor market. Competition for talent can be fierce, which is why your company needs to have a strong brand perception that supports the reasons employees want to work there. Your brand will align employees and candidates with your company's vision, culture and purpose. It is your "elevator pitch" to candidates, a clear, concise synopsis of what your employment offer means and why your company is the best at which to work.
Recruitment Branding Example:
A mid-size architectural firm, was finding it difficult to successfully recruit young architects After performing an internal employee survey on the value of working at the company, as well as doing searches on social media and search engines for company mentions, the firm determined that their inviting corporate environment as well as their LEED certified business and focus on environmentally sustainable building resonated particularly well with the younger generation of employees and architectural school graduates. The firm developed a recruitment campaign targeting graduates that focused on 'Making a difference in your environment,' promoting both internal atmosphere and the firm's principles of quality building and renovating with a purpose.
Your brand should run through all your recruitment efforts - from the way in which job postings are written to the language used when interviewing candidates. Many companies, such as TMP Worldwide, SmashFly and others, exist today to help you develop, shape and improve the way your company is perceived.
Trolling for talent
In this world of connectivity, it is not surprising that a huge portion of recruiting focus has turned online. Social and professional online networks are playing an increasing role in recruitment (rising in importance over 15% in a single year), along with a company's own career website and Internet posting boards.1
While the number one source of top talent remains referrals and word of mouth1 from employees, business partners and good old fashion networking, never underestimate the value of social media. Networks such as LinkedIn and GlassDoor are simply online extensions of face-to-face word of mouth. They are powerful in their reach, and should be firmly entrenched in your recruitment strategies.
Recruiting outsourcing
Traditional recruiting companies can be found in abundance. Large companies such as Korn Ferry or Russell Reynolds provide executive recruitment while others, such as Adecco, Robert Half and the like, provide recruitment with a primary focus on temporary services. A new wave of recruitment services, called RPOs or Recruitment Process Outsourcing companies, has evolved and is growing at a rapid rate. These firms do not focus on recruiting or staffing, but rather on combining of demand services, technology and data.
Companies like Pinstripe, Seven Step RPO and IBM/Kenexa all focus on creating an integrated recruiting process specifically for your company. Most will immerse themselves in your culture to become intimately knowledgeable about your company in order to act as part of your team - not outside of it. Branding, technology, social media oversight, data analysis, screening and interviewing, as well as working directly with your management team, are all part of their business services.
Talent acquisition can make or break your company
Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower. 2 Nowhere is this sentiment more true than in your talent recruitment efforts. Skilled employees are the essence of your business, and the backbone of your company's growth. In this ever changing and increasingly complex talent acquisition marketplace, there is no time to waste in implementing a cohesive and integrated recruitment strategy with the innovative techniques and tools readily available to your company today.
