We don’t only know staffing software, we also know a bit about social media in the staffing industry.

After 25 years of helping staffing companies use staffing software and other technologies to make and save money, we’ve partnered with the New Jersey Staffing Alliance to help staffing companies use social media to increase sales, recruit, and fill orders.

I’m going to be facilitating the first of six breakfast/evening forums on how staffing agencies can use web 2.0 and social media tactics to increase sales and improve recruiting.  The free breakfast session on “Social Media Success Stories in the Staffing Industry” is at 7:30a Tuesday, Jan 26, 2010 at the Edison, NJ Sheraton.

I will be showing an interview I did with Tracy Tillapaugh, a lead technical recruiter for Contemporary Personnel Staffing based out of Liverpool, NY.  Click on the video below for highlights from my interview with Tracy, which will be used as the basis for our discussion.

During the forum Tracy will be available on Twitter to answer any questions, so if you have a Twitter ID and are able to send tweets through your laptop or mobile phone; as you are participating in the forum you can actually tweet your questions to http://twitter.com/tracytilly or @tracytilly.

We will also have a panel of staffing industry professionals answering additional questions and sharing how they are using social media to expand their businesses:

• Elaine Balady, Co-Owner of The Assurance Group
• Robert Derbabian, Vice President at Wells Fargo Capital Finance
• Steve Isenberg, President and Founder of ASJ Partners

Don’t delay, register now at the New Jersey Staffing Alliance website.  

Big thanks to those mentioned above who are helping make this happen, but in addition Jack Wellman, President and COO of Joule Inc., Patricia Koziol, Executive Director & Recording Secretary of NJSA, and Christina Grenga, VP of Business Development for AST are largely responsible for making this series happen on the Staffing Industry and Web 2.0.

Feel free to connect with me on Linkedin, Twitter, or email if you have any questions.

Hope to see you there!
