 Opportunity Knocks
Live Video Interviewing Can Work For You
Catherine Lang-Cline, President
* Co-Founder
"The benefits of live video interviewing are many. First, it can be a huge cost savings for firms that typically fly people in for an interview and pay for their lodging, meals, parking, etc. Secondly, it's efficient, allowing a variety of staffers to spend time with the candidate, even if they work remotely or at different locations."

Philanthropy
 Our Philanthropy Committee, CreativeNext, is proud to support Fairy Goodmothers this year.
Fairy Goodmothers is dedicated to promoting confidence and self-esteem in Central Ohio High School girls. They achieve this by providing formal dresses and accessories to those who lack the means to purchase these items for themselves, thus enabling these girls to attend Prom and feel special during this exciting time.
We'll be holding a drive later this spring to collect gently used dresses and accessories for next season. Watch for details and thanks in advance for your support! |

Raise Your Game
The Future of Employment: Jobs Vs. Work
Kristen Harris, COO * Co-Founder
"We're moving toward a world where companies increasingly value flexibility in accomplishing what they need. That translates into opportunities for those who are willing to consider work options beyond full-time employment. Being open to different arrangements, like temporary, independent or offsite work can dramatically widen the pool of opportunities for you."

Portfolio Matchmaking
April Fool's Day was this past Tuesday and we had some fun with it. We announced our new service, Portfolio Matchmaking, which is a dating service. Here's the fictitious page we created:
http://www.portfolioiscreative.com/portfolio-matchmaking/
So often the refrain about a good laugh is, "It's funny because it's true." Portfolio Matchmaking was created from the idea that what we do really is matchmaking. We understand what our client companies are all about and then we go out and recruit the best people, or the best match, for that company or agency who need our support.
We can provide our direct hire service for those businesses seeking a full-time, salaried employee or we can offer up a solution for a freelance opportunity. Either way, it's about us connecting people with their next great role and a company with their next happy employee.
The language that's used in our business could also be a cause for believing what we're doing is all about finding the perfect match between a person and an opportunity. After an interview has concluded, we ask for feedback from both the candidate and the client. We're always happy to hear, "I love them!"
