Does Your Agency Have Your Back?

Music To Our Ears.

OK everyone, put on your listening ears like my third-grade teacher Ms. Pat used to say and let’s reflect on how important backup is in life and especially in music. A couple of songs come to mind like, “Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones, “Brave” by Sara Bareilles and “Don’t Give Up” by Peter Gabriel. Go ahead, fire up Spotify and take a listen, I’ll wait. Now, think about how different these songs would be without their talented backup singers.

So, what does this have to do with recruiting? Well, like in music, a good agency partner brings together a talented account team supported by backup industry experts, strategists, creatives, analysts, developers, researchers and even negotiators to ensure account service exceeds your expectations. And even better agencies like Buyer Advertising take it one step further and give clients direct access to all levels of agency resources to make sure you are heard, and bureaucracy is eliminated from our relationship.

Some of you have experienced an agency with paper thin walls of support or the classic “pitch team” bait and switch when the beautiful people appeared, captured the hearts and minds of your organization, and then vanished post sale, never to be seen from again. And don’t get me started on the SaaS providers. I’ll just say good luck trying to reconnect with the salespeople when promises haven’t been met. But let’s not dwell on the negative. Let’s end on a positive note.

At Buyer, when you meet with us, you really are meeting with the team who will ensure your success, including our version of backup singers who luckily don’t sing. We promise not to disappear post sale, and that your Account Team has the resources to make your organization move like Jagger.

So, just as Sara Bareilles sings, “I wanna see you, I wanna see you, I wanna see you be brave”😊…with Buyer. Be amazing and talk to us today to learn more about our total agency approach to back up your every recruitment need.

Celebrating National Nurses Week 2025

Posted on by Buyer Advertising

Who Really Cares in Healthcare?

As my mother ages, I often find myself waiting in hospitals at all times of the day. As I sit in the ER with my mother and watch the flurry of activity around us, I can’t help but notice the real heroes of the healthcare profession…nurses.

Nurses are the ones who set the tone of our hospital experience, help diagnose and triage my mother’s ailment, provide her with comfort and compassion during her stay, and most importantly provide the care to make her feel better. For all these reasons I am grateful for all that nurses do not just for my family, but for all of those in need.

At Buyer Advertising, we have proudly supported healthcare organizations with innovative recruitment solutions for close to sixty years. Nothing makes us feel more warm and fuzzy than knowing that we have helped thousands of nurses find their next great career at some of the most prestigious hospital systems across the country. 😊

So, this year, as we celebrate National Nurses Week, please join me in thanking all nurses for being those special caregivers that really put the care into healthcare. “Thanks again!”

Employee Referral Programs – An Oldie but Goodie.

Posted on by Buyer Advertising

Why Do So Many Recruiters Ignore Friends and Family?

My very first job post-graduation came about from an employee referral. My friend called me up a week or two out of school and asked me what I was up to. Since I had a freshly minted English degree from a state school, I promptly replied, “Nothing” and the rest is history. I got a job through a referral.

Seems like a no brainer, but I can tell you very few companies invest in Employee Referral Programs like they should. I hear the same excuses; employees should already be referring, or it’s too complicated to track across various locations, or getting the program synchronized with HRIS is a nightmare, and the list goes on. Regardless of the perceived obstacle, there is no greater recruitment tactic with a better ROI than a well-executed Employee Referral Program.

Studies show that organizations that use Employee Referral Programs have average retention rates close to 50% and can save companies thousands of dollars per hire. Employee Referrals tap into an exclusive talent source – your people who, when properly motivated, become sales sharks, separating your jobs from the competition. In fact, a Harvard Business Review conducted a study that found 70% of “Better Candidates” were acquired from referrals.

As a bonus, Employee Referral Programs test the strength of your Employer Brand. The candidates your employees refer are typically those they see as a good fit for the organization. And an employee’s view of your culture provides valuable feedback and allows you to adjust or re-evaluate your branding efforts accordingly.

Simply asking employees to hit the streets and recruit is not enough. There are proven methodologies, incentives, technologies, promotions, and tricks of the trade that will ensure your success. And you guessed it, we’re here to help. Contact Buyer Advertising today to learn more about our unique approach to executing a successful Employee Referral Program. I may not be your friend, or your family, but you can trust the guy who started his career with the help of a referral.

A Good Agency Services What They Sell.

No Ticket Required

Tickets can be good, like tickets to the playoffs – go Celtics, or tickets to a new theme park, Universal’s Epic Universe, here I come. And tickets can be bad, like “I didn’t think I was driving that fast, officer?” ticket, or how many high school raffle tickets do I have to buy so I don’t look cheap even though my kids graduated years ago? And then there’s the worst kind of ticket, SaaS support tickets.

Modern technology is great, but we all know it will eventually break, and when it does, dealing with an anonymous support center that requires you to create a ticket to resolve your issue is no bueno. You have no relationship with these automatons, and they seldom have personal insight into your unique situation. You just submit your request to fix your problem and hope you hear back before your boss asks why the career site has a frowny face on the browser screen.

At Buyer Advertising, we don’t make our clients deal with the bad kind of tickets. If there is ever an issue with any part of your media recommendations or tech stack, our clients just e-mail, call, or text any one of us, and we get to fixing the problem immediately. It doesn’t matter if it’s our proprietary software, Talent Engine, or a third-party software or job board, we support everything we sell because our clients deserve it.

If you hate tickets as much as I do, unless it’s two tickets to paradise, contact us today to learn more about our recruitment solutions supported by dedicated people who can turn any frown upside down.
