Atlanta Recruiting Roadshow Sells Out
As of
last Friday, the Atlanta Recruiting Roadshow had taken reservations for
all of the available seats. Like Minneapolis before it, the Atlanta
event is filled to capacity as of two weeks before the actual event. We
are clearly tapping into a subsurface need in the industry.
Big events, with costs per attendee running
in the $5,000 to $6,000 range, are a very important part of the
educational and informational infrastructure of the Recruiting and
Staffing industry. We are indebted to the teams from
OnRec,
ERE, Kennedy,
HRTech,
Staffing
Industry Analysts and others for their ongoing work to legitimize
and formalize the business. Over the course of a generation, most of
these players have helped to transform an organizational backwater into
a vibrant and occasionally innovative market.

Survey Says:
Standing Out: Benefits That Impact Recruitment
Health insurance for dependent parents is offered by only 1.6 percent of organizations nationally, according to the preliminary results from the Compensation Data 2007 survey. In comparison, the Compensation Data results showed 21.7 percent of organizations are offering health insurance coverage to domestic partners. Please cite any information to Compdata Surveys.
The number of organizations actively recruiting has increased over the last five years from 85.4 to 96.1 percent. In this competitive market, employers must look to a variety of benefits to stand out. While most companies include time off, health insurance and pension plans as part of their compensation packages, there are other types of benefits organizations are utilizing, such as dependent parent health coverage, tuition reimbursement, child care and relocation assistance.
"Knowing how other organizations are responding to the crunch for top performers will allow organizations to ensure they are maximizing their companies' assets," said Amy Kaminski, manager of marketing programs for Compdata Surveys, the nation's leading compensation and benefits survey data provider. "When reviewing which benefits to offer, organizations should consider who they are most interested in attracting, as each generation has their own set of priorities."

Eldercare has been a hot topic in the news, as more employees are responsible for the care of an elder family member. In addition to increased duties outside of work, these employees also face financial challenges in providing necessary health care. However, health insurance for dependent parents is offered by only 1.6 percent of organizations nationally, according to the preliminary results from the Compensation Data 2007 survey. In comparison, the Compensation Data results showed 21.7 percent of organizations are offering health insurance coverage to domestic partners. This number has increased by 26.9 percent since 2005, while the number offering health insurance to dependent parents has remained flat.
The majority of companies, 76.7 percent, offer some form of childcare assistance. Of those, most provide flexible spending accounts, and only a small percentage provides a day care center or offers backup childcare, 3.4 and 1.6 percent respectively.
Two other benefits useful in recruiting are relocation assistance and tuition reimbursement. Relocation assistance for new employees is offered by 77.5 percent of organizations, and tuition reimbursement is provided by 86.4 percent. Of those reporting, 76.1 percent offer relocation assistance to management and 47.4 provide it to technical/professional employees. In comparison, tuition reimbursement is offered to at least 84 percent of administrative, technical/professional and management employees. The majority, 77.3 percent, also provides it to hourly workers.
