Integrating your association’s career center with your online member community is a simple way to drive big benefits for members, employers, and your organization.
Your job board delivers a valuable member benefit, connecting members with employers. Meanwhile, your online community gives members a convenient, one-stop shop to network, collaborate, and share information with each other and your organization.
But did you know that integrating the two can be a quick, simple way to drive big benefits for members, employers, and your association?
Associations can create targeted messaging based on job seeker data and drive member engagement. Providing job recommendations to association members within their community can bring roles to the forefront and help attract additional qualified candidates.
Top four benefits:
1. Boost member engagement
Leverage your online community to deliver career opportunities in multiple locations. Members can view and discuss recommended, niche-specific content that is significant to them. Job postings become a consistent extension of that relevant content, helping to keep members engaged and create a more interactive online community for current and prospective members.
2. Increase member value
Offer targeted career recommendations within their online community. Association industry research by Community Brands consistently shows that providing job opportunities is one of the most sought-after member benefits an association can offer. It plays a crucial role in members’ ongoing career success.
3. Maximize your impact
Retain and attract members while creating new opportunities and improving the member experience. Displaying jobs in your private social network – your online community – promotes your career center to both active and passive job seekers. Although they may not have been looking, a member just might find their next great job while interacting with peers on your online community, increasing member engagement and, ultimately, retention.
4. Enhance employer value
Employers pay you to post jobs on your career center and put their job opportunities in front of members. Optimizing their investment will help you to keep them around year after year. The additional exposure of posting those jobs outside of your career center – and in front of highly engaged members interacting on your online community – gives those paying employers a greater return on their investment.
