SANTA BARBARA, CA – August 6, 2008 – SelectRemedy, a top 10 national staffing industry leader and part of The Select Family of Staffing Companies, has embarked on what seems to be a popular and effective way of doing business…social networking.  The company is exploring the potential of sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook for rekindling old business relationships and sparking new. 

Stephanie Dorn, Select’s Marketing Communications Specialist, says, “The effects are amazing.  Colleagues are not only spreading brand awareness, but they are successfully generating new sales leads and recruits.”  Though some sites are more “social” than others, the idea of making connections, creating a steady flow of communication, and building trust among peers and business associates is critical to doing business.

SelectRemedy recently created a company profile page on Facebook that includes a company overview, video clips, and links to the variety of operational groups that comprise The Select Family of Staffing Companies.  Since Facebook tends to target a particular demographic, the SelectRemedy profile site also includes a direct job feed from CareerBuilder of open and available employment opportunities nationwide. The site provides career coaching information, such as creating an effective resume and cover letter, as well as tips for participating in a successful interview.

With traditional sales campaigns and recruiting programs in place, SelectRemedy is proud to expand its marketing initiatives via the web.  “We need to be where the people are spending most of their time”, says Dorn  “In front of their computers…  being social…. making friends… and conducting business!”
