Welcome to the Interactive Generation.
We are dependent on systems and devices that process, interpret and manipulate data. Our PCs (and MACs), our netbooks, smartphones, IPOD's, GPS units, even our DVD players and Wii consoles. And we aren't alone. According to Nielsen Online, 73% of the North American population is online.* Last year. U.S. eCommerce and Online Retail sales totaled almost $204 billion.** That's larger than the GNP of 194 countries.
In fact, Digital Media is the next wave in marketing and advertising.Whether you are selling online, raising brand awareness, or simply providing information, your staff needs to be on the cutting edge in the technologies that will propel your business to the next level.There's the hitch. Post an opening today and you'll be flooded with resumes. But finding prime "A" list candidates—the real franchise players in their organizations—can be challenging. With good reason. These critical hires are typically fully engaged and not actively looking.
These "employed, non-lookers" are why so many firms have come to rely on us. Since our founding some 20 years ago with a focus on IT, we've been on the leading edge of emerging technologies in Digital and Interactive Marketing, Web Design and Development and eCommerce.
Having been heavily entrenched in the retail sector, we had an early start on eCommerce. In fact, we were seriously engaged in eComm even before Amazon.com posted its first profit.
Because we're so integrated into the technology community we know what talent is out there. We know the people who are making an impact for their current firms, the ones who can directly impact revenue—right out of the gate. They may not be looking ... but when you've followed people and helped them grow and flourish through the years as we have you earn the kind of relationship that opens them up to new opportunities.
We specialize in extracting that kind of top talent.
Today, almost any Digital Media vacancy is costing an organization dearly, whether it's your VP of eCommerce or Director of Online Development, your Global Web & Direct Marketing Manager or Web Analytics Manager. It's a price you don't have to pay.
Call Connors to the rescue. With the right candidate, right away.
