Staffing Software Firm Helps New Jersey Staffing Alliance Deliver Social Media Seminars

AST, which has been providing fully integrated staffing software solutions to the staffing industry for 25 years, has teamed up with the New Jersey Staffing Alliance (NJSA) to help put on a series of six seminars on “Web 2.0 and the Staffing Industry.”  NJSA, founded in 1960, is an industry trade association of direct hire, contract and temporary staffing firms. NJSA represents members professionally engaged in all areas of personnel services including search, recruitment, placement and temporary help services.

Edison, NJ February 4, 2009 – Last week Everett Reiss, project and account manager for AST, was the main speaker for the first of six seminars that NJSA is presenting at the Sheraton Edison Hotel, in the Raritan Center.  Reiss spoke on “Social Media Success Stories in the Staffing Industry” and gave the 70 plus attendees three action points to use in formulating a social media strategy for their staffing firms.  To engage the attending staffing executives and professionals, Reiss used a video interview with Tracy Tillapaugh, technical recruiter for Contemporary Personnel Staffing in Liverpool, NY; and a panel consisting of Elaine Balady, Co-Owner of The Assurance Group, Robert Derbabian, Vice President at Wells Fargo Capital Finance, and Steve Isenberg, President and Founder of ASJ Partners.  Find highlights of the interview with Tracy Tillapaugh at AST’s Mad Staffing Blog.
