New feature: Finding your job, profile or franchise is even easier
All visitors to the HealthyPeople website can now search our database for opportunities by keyword, a location or a business name. Furthermore, any search on location will activate a 'See also:' feature, pointing them to suburbs within a 5km radius that also contain a job, profile and/or franchise opportunity. This makes it even easier for candidates to find their next step in their fitness career - whether it's working in your facility or breaking out on their own with your franchise opportunity.
Check out the results for Carlton or Genesis.

New feature: 'Preferred supplier' link
Over the coming months (particularly after FILEX) we will be populating this section with information relevant to industry people. There are already a couple of links for you to look over. If you've got something to promote, please email me for more information.

Do you have a copy of the latest fitness industry award rates?
Employers often ask me what going rates of pay are. The latest fitness industry award rates is a good place to start. If you don't have a copy, grab a one here.

FILEX 2010 - A chance to meet regarding recruitment for your facility
I'll be at FILEX from Wednesday 28th (Fitness Australia Club Tour) until Sunday afternoon. I welcome any opportunity to talk in person about how HealthyPeople can assist you in building an optimal team over the next 12 months. All our services are unique and specifically designed to meet the needs of our industry. Even if recruitment is not currently high on your agenda, understanding what is available to you when the need arises could prove a valuable in the future. I can be reached on my mobile (0414 481 525) or by email at dennis@healthypeople.com.au. I'll also be spending some time at the Advance Fitness Marketing stand (P34) so feel free to meet me there.
Special offer: Purchase a Business Membership during FILEX and get a FREE job ad.

Would FREE 72 hour ads would be helpful for emergency fills?
Beginning in May, we'd like to experiment with 'emergency ads' for our Business Members. These 'emergency ads' are free (maximum of three over the next six months) and can be used to advertise whatever positions you like. These ads will be listed on HealthyPeople, sent to our database of registered professionals and listed on our social networking accounts (that is, there will be no Seek listing). If you're a Business Member and would like to take advantage of this, please send the ad details to me directly CLEARLY INDICATING that the ad is to go up for 72 hours only. If you have any suggestions on how this could work, please include it in our blog.

If you're going to make an investment in your recruitment, why spend it on a bunch of band-aids? Traditional recruitment is reactive, stressful, costly and time consuming. Put some of that money towards turning your recruitment process into one that is proactive, cost effective, well-rehearsed and detailed. We believe that whenever a great candidates arise you should be informed of this and have the ability to make contact. By starting your recruitment process before the position is vacant, the better off you'll be when the gap arises.

This is the nature of our HealthyPeople Business Membership.

(As it happens, our ads are pretty well priced and offer great exposure anyway)

HealthyPeople now has embedded pages available
There are two reasons why this is of particular interest to employers; Firstly, by embedding our search tools on other web sites we're able to provide greater exposure for your listed jobs ads, employer profiles and business opportunities. Secondly, with a simple (seriously easy) addition to your web site, a link to your Employer profile and any jobs you currently have advertised are available for visitors to view. This is an easy way to keep your website up-to-date with your employment opportunities without having to spend any time or money on the process.

Speaking of 'Employer profiles'...
Our web statistics show that candidates want to know more about you! There are huge numbers of clicks through to employer profiles, especially via your logo on listed job ads. Your employer profile provides much greater information than you can include in one job ad. It allows for the inclusion of images. And it's an ongoing presence on HealthyPeople. That is, even when you are not advertising, candidates can find out more about you by using our tag search tool or via tags on any of our listed jobs. For example, clicking on a suburb tag would reveal your Employer profile if you're in that suburb. Candidates can send you applications for consideration via your employer profile. If you have a Business Membership, Employer profiles are FREE. Check out this one for Genesis Melton or this one for Jack Jones.

Blog items are now available on an RSS feed
HealthyPeople now has an RSS feed for both the Employer and Jobseeker blogs. 'What's the point?' you ask. There are a number of smaller issues of interest that arise over the course of the year and, rather than impose on your inbox on every occasion, we can now post the blog item and if you've subscribed to the RSS feed you can quickly and easily see whether there is anything of interest. You may also be interested in the Jobseeker blog items. You can catch these updates now without having to be registered with HealthyPeople as a Jobseeker. (FYI, all emails from HealthyPeople can be blocked or moderated in your 'Update registration' section).

Remuneration details are now required for all ads
Seek has now made the salary field compulsory for all ads. In order to stay in line with this, HealthyPeople now has introduced the same requirement. Please note, while you are required to provide a salary/hourly rate range, you do not have to display this on the ad. The displayed salary can be left blank - although evidence suggests a listed salary will attract more interest. For those wondering 'what's the point of including a salary but not listing it?', on Seek they have a search by salary function.
