Social Media Helps Leading Staffing Firm

Connect with Clients, Employees

Reading, PA – You have one new friend request.  Berks and Beyond Employment Services, Inc. invites you to “Friend” their Facebook fan page. 

While millions are using Facebook to keep in touch with friends, the leading Central and Southern Pennsylvania staffing firm is using this social media platform as part of an already progressive internet marketing strategy.

The page allows Berks and Beyond to interact with clients, employees and applicants on a whole new level.  “In today’s world, people are spending more and more time online, and we need to be where they are in order to reach them,” says Chris Garner, President of Berks and Beyond Employment Services, Inc.  “This page lets us get immediate feedback on questions, post available jobs, and show the world a little bit of what our company is about on a social level.”

Containing several interactive features, the page is taking on a life of its own as it develops into what fans want it to be.  Visitors can leave comments or ask questions on Berks and Beyond’s “Wall”; search the “Careers” tab for up-to-the-minute job listings; browse the “RSS / Blog” tab, which displays their company blog feed; or even create their own online surveys with the “Polls” tab.

So why should you become a fan?  Garner is committed to adding real value for clients and job seekers alike.  “We are trying to keep the page as relevant as possible,” he says, “and will never just add meaningless status updates.  So if you want to further your career, find a job, ask a question, or just keep up-to-date on local information, the page can be a valuable and fun tool.”
