NAS Puts Geographical Intelligence on the Map

Visualization Adds a New Twist on Market Analysis.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 30, 2009 – Imagine seeing, in one glance, a regional profile of areas that have the highest concentration of the talent you seek. Using its new mapping capabilities, NAS Insights, the centralized research operation of NAS Recruitment Communications, can help clients visualize exactly where their recruitment efforts should be targeted.

For a recruiting media plan to be successful, employers need to have many “where” questions answered. Where are potential candidates located? Where are major competitors located? Where do large concentrations of diverse populations exist? NAS Insights is equipped to bring visual clarity to these questions with unrivaled mapping expertise.

NAS Insights mapping solutions can help determine key locations for print media and radio advertising. Maps can also pinpoint heavily traveled highways and roads to support a billboard campaign, or target highly populated cities to support the use of direct mail. They can even be used to calculate the most favorable local recruiting areas based on miles or drive time.

“Maps take market strategy to the next level by providing a visual component to support and fine tune recruitment efforts,” said Kathleen Anne Gaiser, Research Analyst and NAS mapping expert. “Understanding a company’s market is paramount in making informed decisions and making sure recruitment dollars are optimized.”

NAS Insights can create customized maps to assist businesses in any industry with recruiting and workforce planning. For more information, contact your account rep.

NAS Talent Strategist Provides Vital Market Analysis for Healthcare Clients

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 27, 2009 – Kristine Rhodes, Dallas-based Talent Strategist for NAS Recruitment Communications, announced today that recently added metrics tools are helping HR healthcare clients attract the best from a select talent pool.

“NAS Insights’ new online healthcare metrics tool,” Rhodes said, “gives us an additional set of critical data that pinpoints a specific audience. These customized reports are the foundation of a successful recruitment and retention program.”

According to Rhodes, developing a strategic workforce planning initiative requires many building blocks.

“We create healthcare hotsheets for our clients,” Rhodes said. “These monthly reports provide the market analysis that gives them an edge over their competition and helps them make informed decisions. A demographic profile with information about the area’s population, median age, education levels, and unemployment rate can determine the probability of persuading a candidate to relocate and, consequently, whether or not a segment of the budget should be earmarked for national advertising. A report such as the Texas RN Workforce profile provides specifics about the area’s current workforce, including the fact that, by 2020, the demand for RNs in Texas is expected to grow 86%, while the supply will grow only 53%.”
