Depending on where you're located, those April showers may still have a touch of snow mixed in. Or you might be recovering from an April shower that turned into a brutal storm; if so, we hope you and yours are all okay, and we're here to help you if you need to reconstruct your data.
Spring is usually a time of change, and we've got one change for the better: the new COATS Users Group on LinkedIn. It's a members-only community where you can discuss staffing, software and COATS with your fellow users.
Whatever changes your business is going through, we want to help you make the best of them. We hope you think of COATS as a resource that's more than just the software; please use the newsletter, blog, Users Group, webinars and all our other tools to help your business weather any storm.

| Free Webinar, May 26: Job Posting Ads
 Job postings (or job listings, or job ads, depending on your terminology) are one of the most crucial, yet the most often overlooked, marketing tools available to staffing firms. In fact, you might not even think of them as a marketing tool; that's how easy they are to overlook.
This FREE webinar will show you how to create and publish better job postings. COATS Communications Director Catherine Cantieri will walk you through the organization and wording of a posting, then COATS Vice President Karen Connor will tell you how to use COATS to publish your posting for maximum effectiveness.
Registration is limited to only 13 people, so sign up now!

Feature Focus: Management Business Advisor
 While the Management Reports in COATS Staffing Software are a source of in-depth, comprehensive information, sometimes you just want a snapshot, a general overview of the most important aspects of your business's performance.

It's Here: The COATS Users Group on LinkedIn!
 We're proud to announce the new COATS Users Group on LinkedIn. We created this group for COATS users to discuss the software with us and with each other so we can all get more out of it. This is a members-only group, so you don't have to worry about anyone wandering in and spamming us. Unfortunately, that means you do have to apply for membership, but we promise you'll get in; all you have to be is a COATS user. We look forward to seeing you there!
