September: it's back to school, back to schedules and planning for end-of-the-year holidays! We're ending the third quarter and starting in on Q4 already--where has the time gone?
We will soon be releasing Version 4.3.6 with many helpful statisical reports, so keep your eye out at the end of this month. We're also adding the Employee Portal, a way for employees to log in and review their accounts; let me know if you are interested.
We look at social media this month, as it applies to candidates and to recruiters. If you're already active on social media, we'd love to see you there. To help us connect and communicate with you, we've added a Pinterest area and Google+ account; and don't forget about Facebook and Linked IN - we are still there too with a LOT of informaton- check us out!
Speaking of communicating: you use COATS regularly, which makes you something of an expert on it. Well, now knowledge isn't just its own reward; your knowledge could win you money! Send us a "Did You Know" for COATS and you could win a $25 gift card. We will even post you on the DYK COATSsql Facebook page for your 15 "posts" of fame :)
Hoping Fall brings you some beautiful weather and a great end to our 3rd quarter,

 Focus: Social Media
Last month, we looked at social media for clients, and all the ways it can be used to market your business and keep up with your clients' businesses. This month, we look a other audiences.
Marketing: Social Media for Candidates
Now that you know how to use social media for prospecting and marketing to clients, let's look at candidates. Social media can help you attract more and better candidates, help existing candidates improve and help keep your candidates happy.
Interviewing & Recruiting: Social Media for Recruiters
"Oh, no. Another post about social media. Yup, I already know about how to use LinkedIn for recruiting and how to search a candidate's social media profiles. Bor-ing." Don't worry. This post won't rehash any of that territory because it's about social media outlets just for recruiters.

Legal Roundup: August 2012
 This month's roundup of news in employment law covers all sorts of ground: - A U.S. House bill that would make it illegal to ask job applicants if they've been convicted of a crime prior to making an offer of employment (or in cases where a high level of security is expected)
- Fun with FMLA lawsuits
- More and more examples of why retaliation against harassment claims is always a bad idea
- Sensitive noses and insensitive co-workers

Did You Know We're on Pinterest?
 We've caught the latest wave in social media and have three boards on Pinterest:
Feel free to follow us or repin or just peruse our boards. See you there! We're Also on Google+
 We've also established a page on Google+ for everyone who's on that site. We're posting mostly the same content as on our "Staffing Stuff" Pinterest board. But we must admit, it's a little lonely there right now. If you're on Google+, please let us know and we'll try to form a little staffing outpost on it. :-) |

Help us Help YOU!
 The COATS Users Group on LinkedIn is starting to heat up! Many users are discussing the new Employee Portal! 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!
