MINNEAPOLIS, MN, October 8, 2019 — College Recruiter, a leading job search site used by students and recent graduates, has won the Recruiting Service Innovation (ReSI) Award for Small Business Innovator of the Year in recognition of the company’s successful and almost unique migration from duration- to performance-based pricing. Performance-based pricing better aligns the goals of job search sites such as College Recruiter with their employer customers by shifting the risk of job posting ads not working well from the employer to the job search site.
“We’re honored to receive this prestigious award and would like to thank the ReSI committee and TAtech for recognizing us,” said Faith Rothberg, Chief Executive Officer, College Recruiter. “Core to our values is continuous improvement, and we’re known throughout the talent acquisition technology community as being resilient and relevant year after year. You can’t be that way without being innovative, especially in an industry as dynamic as ours. When we began this journey from charging employers by the posting to charging them for candidates delivered, we knew we had a lot of challenges ahead of us. However, our team tackled those challenges and feels great about how we’re now positioned for even better growth—and that their hard work was appreciated and recognized by some pretty amazing subject matter experts in our industry.”
Created by TAtech, the trade association for the talent acquisition technology industry, the ReSIs are the only accolade in the talent acquisition field that recognizes the companies, products and individuals that optimize the recruiter’s experience. The 2019 ReSI selection committee was chaired by George LaRocque, CEO of #HR wins, and included Madeline Laurano, Founder of Aptitude Research and Lisa Scales, Head of Resourcing & New Talent at Severn Trent.
“The biggest and best known general and aggregator job search sites sell postings on a pay-per-click (CPC) and, sometimes, pay-per-application (CPA) basis,” noted Steven Rothberg, founder of College Recruiter. “But of the 100,000 job search sites globally, only a few dozen do so at any kind of scale. Virtually every other site, general or niche, is unable or unwilling to migrate from traditional, duration- to performance-based pricing. The business challenges are great, and the technology challenges are even greater. But the benefit to our users—both employers who advertise their job openings with us and the candidates who search and apply to them—are significant, and we’ve already seen substantial increases in both revenues and profits.”
Founded in 1991, College Recruiter believes that every student and recent graduate deserves a great career. Its customers are primarily Fortune 1,000 companies, government agencies and other organizations who hire dozens or even hundreds of students and recent graduates a year from one-, two-, and four-year colleges and universities for part-time, seasonal, internship, and entry-level jobs.

“Investing in entry-level workers creates greater job stability and more opportunities for advancement for employees, contributing to a more economically vibrant society.” (Rockefeller Foundation)
Every single day, new relationships are forming, and interns are turning into full-time employees. Across thousands of different companies, H.R. and recruiting departments are making long-term investments for maximum growth and profitability. Smart companies are taking note while searching for interns to see if they have the qualities they are looking for in full-time employees.
Andrew Marcotte knows how to improve the performance of entry-level retail employees. He is an HR Business Partner at Blain’s Farm and Fleet, a specialty discount retailer with 38 locations. Marcotte supports store operations and store management teams across all locations. He shared with us what they do to motivate, grow and develop entry-level employees and we have shared his insight below. Marcotte was selected as an official SHRM 2018 blogger. (more…)
Nonprofit organizations have an enormous opportunity to polish their employer brands and really show them off to entry-level job candidates. To hear insight into employer branding mistakes and solutions at nonprofits, we interviewed Matt Kaiser, Director of Recruitment at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Kaiser has a passion for improving the recruitment processes, uncovering a unique employer brand identity, and implementing ideas to improve the candidate experience and attract top talent. He will be a speaker at SHRM 2018, presenting “Pursuing Purpose in Building Your Brand.”
Put the time into listening and connecting to employees and all stakeholders
Above all, Allison says, “we put employees first.” That seems so simple. It means, however, that employees are more important than anything else. It takes empathy and patience. It also takes a lot of time to listen to your people.
Engaging all stakeholders are important too. That builds a culture of community and trust. Bozzuto makes sure that they connect in a meaningful way to job candidates, partners, and the residents of their properties. That level of engagement requires an investment, but when I asked Allison about how they measure ROI, she said they don’t have to. “Investing in our people is just part of our DNA.”
Establishing or changing anything about a company culture comes from the top, or at the very least, has true buy-in. For example, Bozzuto’s founder does regular site visits and meets with people in their environment. He believes in “managing by walking around.”
Technology can, and should, help connect people at the organization. For example, Bozzuto offers Bozzuto Voices, where any employee anywhere can comment, make a suggestion, praise someone else, etc. This sort of transparent communication can help build mutual trust with employees.
Hire for fit, and include all
While Bozzuto recruits for the right skills, they also look for cultural fit. Allison says, “If you’re not nice… you gotta be nice.” As for engaging Millennials, Allison brushes off the generational differences. Just engage people as individuals, she says. Don’t assume you know something about them because of their age.

Peter Weddle explains that TATech is the global trade association for the talent acquisition solutions industry. It represents the for-profit enterprises and not-for-profit organizations that provide technology-based products and services for talent acquisition professionals, from applicant tracking system companies, job boards, and social media sites to mobile apps, recruitment advertising agencies, and cloud-based recruitment marketing platforms. Collectively, its members power or operate over 60,000 sites worldwide and provide state-of-the-art solutions services for virtually every facet of talent acquisition.
The purpose of the TATech 2016 Fall Conference & Expo is to provide cross-talk and information sharing between recruiters/talent acquisition professionals and vendors who provide products and services for talent acquisition professionals. Peter Weddle believes there is a lack of communication and interaction between these two groups of professionals, and that enabling employers and recruiters to get the information they need from their vendors will help them improve their return on investment.
Steven Rothberg, President of College Recruiter, hopes to help talent acquisition leaders improve their return on investment when working with vendors, too, and that is the scope of his presentation entitled, “Doing better deals: How to be a smart consumer of talent acquisition solutions.” In the past, many employers simply posted jobs and assumed the risk; either the jobs would perform well or not. However, with the solutions available to employers now via technology, employers should do their homework and understand the estimated return on investment associated with various types of advertising (banner advertising, email campaigns, pay per click, etc.).
Steven will cover this information in his presentation and believes it will empower talent acquisition professionals to make informed decisions regarding their college recruiting budgets. It will also help employers to negotiate better deals and to make cost comparisons between proposals from different vendors. He emphasizes that employers should negotiate with vendors and provide justification using metrics and pricing information using this type of cost comparison information.
Peter Weddle emphasizes the value of attending a conference like the TATech 2016 Fall Conference & Expo; there isn’t always an opportunity to visit face-to-face with owners of organizations like College Recruiter. In addition, TATech is offering free hotel accommodations at The Palms to those who register for the conference by June 15, 2016. Lastly, Peter mentions that the conference is truly a fun experience, featuring the 2016 Recruiting Service Innovation Awards (the ReSIs). Modeled after the Oscars, the awards are a red carpet, black tie optional celebration.

“We were honored to learn of the recognition,” said Faith Rothberg, chief executive officer of College Recruiter. “Business.com has been a well known and trusted brand for small- and medium-sized businesses to stay up-to-date on business industry news and trends and we’ve relied upon it many times when we’re researching companies we’re considering doing business with.”
According to the article, “[t]he way to recruit young talent is to go to where they are most often, and that’s online through numerous channels.” The problem that most employers face isn’t generating enough applications, but applications from the right candidates. In other words, quality is increasingly becoming more of an important factor to employers than quantity. “To solve the conundrum, try posting your open position on CollegeRecruiter.com. In addition to the standard job posting capabilities, College Recruiter offers packages for recruiters and businesses that include mobile and display advertising, targeted email campaigns and virtual career events, to name just a few.”
