Have You Got Your Recruitment Blog Yet?
I've been promoting blogging for recruitment for a couple of years now (you can get my Free Guide to Recruitment Blogging here) and it seems that more and more recruiting companies are now starting to get involved.
A good indication of how fast an industry is growing is by looking at how many Trade Shows there are and the other day I came across the following show: Blog World & New Media Expo.
It is being promoted as the biggest blogging conference in the world and for those who like some up to date statistics on blogging here are some figures from their site:
- There are over 1.4 million new blog posts every day .
- 22 of the 100 most popular websites in the world are blogs.
- 120,000 new blogs are created every day .
- 37% of blog readers began reading blogs in 2005 or 2006 .
- 51% of blog readers shop online..
- Blog readers average 23 hours online each week.
- Over 120 thousand blogs are created every day
- 89% of companies surveyed say they think blogs will be more important in the next five years.
One of the interesting stats for me is that 89% of companies think that blogs will be more important in the next five years.
Does your company already have a blog, and more importantly, do you use it to promote your company your career opportunities?
Looking at the stats maybe now is the time to get one!
