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.

How Well Do You Know Your Target Audience?

“Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica”

For all the fans of the TV show The Office, I’m sure you remember the episode when Jim made fun of Dwight by emulating him for the first few minutes of the show. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then please stop reading this blog and come back after you’ve watched season 3, Episode 21.

OK, for the rest of us cultured TV consumers, let’s continue. In that episode, Jim transformed himself into Dwight with a pair of four-dollar glasses and by mimicking Dwight’s appearance, mannerisms, speech patterns, and characteristics.

Although Jim used his knowledge of Dwight to mock him, he also inadvertently utilized an effective advertising practice called Persona development while reciting one of the most memorable quotes in recent TV history.

Luckily, in our world of Employer Branding, we don’t use Personas to drive our office mates mad. We use Personas to ensure our clients’ Employer Value Proposition uniquely appeals to their target audiences. We also use Personas to personalize hiring processes for diverse types of candidates like seasoned RNs or newly minted physicians.

A lot goes into creating an effective Persona beyond combing your hair forward and donning a mustard-colored shirt. There’s conducting research, identifying patterns, creating detailed profiles, naming the Personas, and finally testing and refining the work. That’s why you need the proven leader in Employer Branding, Buyer Advertising, to help you navigate this creative process so you can be a winner like Jim.

Fact: If you know what kind of bear is best, but still not sure if Personas should be part of your next Employer Branding strategy, then contact Buyer Advertising today because bears eat beets and Buyer builds brands.

Your Agency Should Be Protecting You

Posted on by Buyer Advertising

“You want us on that wall. You need us on that wall.” 

I may be dating myself, but do you remember that movie, A Few Good Men, when Col. Jessup, portrayed by Jack Nicholson, blurted that line out in a fit of rage? He was right. We all need resolute people to protect us from harm. Of course, he then went on to admit to ordering an inadvertent murder, but I digress.

Now, in no way would I compare what we do in recruitment communications with the important work of our US military and law enforcement, but in our little world of recruiting, I think one of the most important jobs of Buyer Advertising is to protect our clients from unscrupulous salespeople.

We see it all the time. A direct sales rep hammers an unsuspecting recruiter under the cloak of “providing consultative best practices” and then long story short, the final recommendation is to simply spend more money. Or my other favorite is when the salesperson pitches locking up a customer for years on end with the promise of saving money, which seldom works.

Ask any job board how to achieve better results, and the answer will always be the same: “SPEND MORE MONEY.”  So don’t do that. Arm yourself with a proven recruitment marketing agency, and let us protect you from getting oversold. We do this for a living. We know best how to spend your budget to achieve optimal results. We have the skills to negotiate the best deal on your behalf, and we are gluttons for punishment. It comes with the job like a doorman behind the velvet rope. No one gets in unless we think it’s in your best interest or they are good looking – just kidding.

Talk to us today to learn more. We’ve got protective agency people ready to block those time-killing salespeople so you can focus more on what matters most: hiring.
