We're trying to figure out ways with
the economy being as good as it is,
the market is really hard to find good people, and we thought that by using Madison Matters we could publish
opportunities that we have here at Madison College
out to our staff, faculty and
hopefully that would help us be able
to find great people to come work here.
If you look at Madison Matters,
you will go to the top of the page and
that's where you'll see jobs at the top.
According to LinkedIn, there was a study done and
85% of positions are being filled today
by somebody's network. It's not by a job posting,
and we just kind of post and pray.
It's really about getting the word out.
So we felt that there are networks out there of
individuals that all of our staff know maybe somebody that would be open to coming to Madison College,
and it's just a way to spread the word and
hopefully somebody will take that job posting
and they know somebody that knows somebody
and they will shoot it over to them,
and then we can get them to apply.
Because of the job market, there are jobs that are
harder to fill, and so we will focus on that.
We will make sure that we give weekly updates.
There may be a position that it's going to be hard to fill today, but after advertising, you know
maybe in two weeks it's not going to be
as prevalent that we find somebody so our thoughts are that we will update that on a weekly basis and
that all jobs are important and there
will be a link to go to our website,
so if they're not looking to be the director of Public Safety, but they want to be a part-time barista,
they know how to click on that link
and take them to that job.
