Shally's Thoughts on Recent ACES Press Release

At the ERE in Hollywood Florida we announced the creation of a new group resulting fromthe Arbita/JobMachine merger. This new group called ACES (Arbita Consulting and Education Services will be led by myself (as EVP Arbita) and Glenn (as VP ACES). The consulting group will operate independently of the technology and media groups, allowing ACES to deliver consulting and education services beyond the existing Arbita customer base. Glenn and I plan to involve the finest cadre of consultants ever to come together in the sourcing/recruiting research space. Along these lines we began forming a strategic alliance with Dave Szary and his RecruiterAcademy.com to join forces in delivering industry-leading content, workshops, webinars, research, articles and consulting.

Who else is involved you may ask?

Well, from his two recent webinars with us (here and here) you have already seen what Mark Berger can do with us. Mark's long-time dedication as the Internet Recruiting columnist for the Fordyce Letter makes him an ideal Adjunct Faculty Member.  Additional contributors on board already are Dave Mendoza (specialty: Talent Community Development), Tim O'Connor (specialty: Collaboration; Utilising Offshore Resources), and Josh Kahn (specialty: Tools & Automation). We've begun expanding our faculty and have plans to involve other industry thought leaders such as Michael Marlatt, famous for his Cloud Recruiting initiatives and the presentations he's done at ERE and on the web, and over the coming months we'll be inviting more luminaries from various disciplines such as: Eric Jaquith (specialty: Process Optimizatoin and Automation), Maureen Sharib (specialty: Telephone Sourcing), Krista Bradford (specialty: Cold Calling), and many others willing to participate with us in both in-person and online events like Kennedy's Sourcing Summit, the Jason Davis' Recruitfest, and John Sumser's Recruiting Roadshow. 

So as you can see ACES is exponentially more valuable to companies than JobMachine or Arbita were alone. It's not just about the recruiters and the sourcers. It's about open collaboration to raise the overall level of sourcing expertise. It's about engaging experts in their natural habitat, and through them contributing insane value to our customers.  It is about the entire recruitment marketing process and infrastructure or the employment brand. It's about all those things working together., ACES is the first glimpse of what the recruitment marketing and consulting agency of the future is going to look like.

Great... but what is ACES?

ACES empowers companies to align their recruitment marketing initiatives with their staffing goals and business objectives. Recruiter and sourcer development is the cornerstone of the ACES methodology based on the company's belief that dynamic and continuously-educated recruiters and sourcers are the foundation and primary drivers of successful recruitment marketing initiatives. The group's education programs are supported by a medley of consulting services designed to help companies streamline their recruitment process, bolster their recruitment marketing infrastructure, improve their sourcing efforts, including organizational structure, strategy and tactics and continuously improve their interactive recruitment marketing campaigns from search engine optimization (SEO) and marketing (SEM) to job board advertising and beyond.  

The bottom line?

Its simple. All consulting and education services are delivered with an eye on the bottom line. ACES leverages a deep understanding of sourcing strategy and effectiveness along with recruitment marketing analytics to recommend and implement organizational structure, sourcing strategies and methodologies, combined with recruitment marketing initiatives that have a measurable impact on business goals. The ACES methodology is an extension of Arbita's core belief that every client deserves a partner with their best interests at heart. Because ACES operates independently of Arbita's technology and media groups, clients need not be users of the company's job posting technology or media services.
