Online Recruitment Gives Back

Recessions come and go. Yes, this one has been deeper than most but the economy will rebound.

However, in good times and in bad, throughout the world, people face overwhelming circumstances and struggle with employment issues.

These issues sometimes relate to where people live, as in underdeveloped countries where opportunities are few and funding to start new businesses is scarce. In other instances, natural disasters may have literally wiped out jobs, leaving workers devastated and disoriented.

People in these and other situations require support--the kind of support that will allow them to support themselves. Assistance may be financial, but information can also be powerful.

Professionals involved with online recruitment are in a unique position to provide what's required. We have knowledge, tools, and financial resources to share.

That's the idea behind Online Recruitment Gives Back (Onrec GB), the new philanthropic arm of Onrec USA.

The objective is to make a difference in the employment circumstances of people who face major life challenges--and we want to rally the online recruitment community to do so.

Onrec is leading this effort, but this isn't an Onrec program per se. This is an online recruitment program. Actually, we'd like it to be a movement.

Using technology, like this venue, Onrec's sister site TalentManagementTech.com (TMT), we'd like to get people thinking and talking about various ways we can grow the program.
