Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communications Launches Virtual Community

March 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communications (Shaker) is launching its own virtual community. Shaker LIVE provides a destination where people can meet, network and learn about the ever-changing recruitment industry. Community members have the opportunity to explore Shaker as an agency by learning about its history, product offerings and differentiators while interacting live with Shaker professionals.

Shaker LIVE is a creative, online depiction of Shaker’s physical office, with virtual departments that offer an overview of the agency’s services, examples of case studies, and an area where members and staff can participate in discussions. There’s also a networking lounge where individuals can interact socially via group chats, while discovering which of their LinkedIn connections are also members of the Shaker LIVE community. The auditorium houses videos communicating the agency’s history, culture, philanthropy and messages from Shaker clients and business partners, and will serve as the online venue for educational webinars about specific product offerings. The Shaker LIVE virtual environment provides engagement via group chat, private chat, e-mail and v-card.

“Shaker LIVE offers seamless communication and collaboration among our clients, partners, the HR community, and our employees. We’re excited about this initiative and feel it strongly reflects the future of the recruitment industry as a whole,” says Joe Shaker, Jr., agency Vice President. Regarding the future of the virtual space for recruiting, Shaker explains, “Today’s business economics – the bottom-line dollars and cents of the matter – argue for better flexibility and increased business efficiencies across the board, and the recruiting function is no exception. Helping companies realize these goals is why we’re here. In the end, winners and losers will be defined in terms of talent. Virtual will play a healthy role.”
