We've just announced the programme for our annual 'Online Recruitment - the year ahead' conference, which next year takes place on February 1st 2008. We've got a great line up of speakers who are addressing the key issues facing online recruitment professionals over the next 12 months, including social networking sites and mobile e-recruitment. You can book your place for £349 + VAT online now - refreshments and lunch are included and all presentations are loaded onto USB memory sticks for delegates to take away. Last year the conference sold out, so this year we've moved to a bigger venue - the Royal Geographical Society in South Kensington - still please book early to avoid disappointment though!
The Enhance Media Blog
You might have noticed that we're doing more and more news stuff (that we used to put in the newsletter) on the Enhance Media blog. When we started the newsletter in 2001, blogging wasn't a mainstream way of communicating online, so we did everything through the newsletter, now though, the blog seems a better way to tackle really topical stuff than a monthly newsletter. So if you've missed anything on the blog over the last month or so, here are some highlights
The top ten online recruitment tips for HR professionals
Enhance Media is a Google qualified company
IAB online recruitment ad spend figures
Social networking sites more important that print ads

Online Recruitment 2008 - the year ahead - sponsorship opportunities
In response to some enquiries, we're currently putting together a sponsorship package for our conference on February 1st - the exclusive package will include branding on the conference materials, information on the delegate memory stick and an exhibition stand in the refreshments area. Last year's conference was attended by 175 delegates from employers, recruitment consultancies, recruitment advertising agencies and media owners and this year's promised to be even bigger.

NORAS 2008 - results out in January
We're currently collecting data for NORAS 2008 and will be releasing the results in January next year. Please check the NORAS site for updates. There are a couple of key changes for next year: 1) - we're republishing the results every month, giving participating job boards the chance to update their ABCe figures as often as they like and 2) - for the first time, job boards can optionally include audited data on the number of online applications, online job referrals and email referrals that they generate.
