Regions of the United States Digital Story - Duration: 4:00.
The US can be categorized into four different geographic regions.
These four regions are the Northeast, the Southeast, the Great Plains, the Southwest,
and the Pacific Northwest.
Each region can be described by its climate and physical geography.
First, we are going to discuss the Northeast region of the United States.
This region includes Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland.
The climate in this region is a humid, continental climate.
In the northernmost areas, the summers are cool.
In the winter, temperatures are frequently below freezing, and snow is common.
Physical geography in this region includes the Appalachian Mountains.
The region borders the Atlantic Ocean to the East and Canada to the North.
The population of this region is 63 million people.
Next, let's talk about the Southeast region of the United States.
This region includes West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Florida.
The climate in this region is a humid subtropical climate.
The summers are hot.
Hurricanes and tropical storms can be common during the summer and fall months.
This region borders the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
A notable geographic feature is the Mississippi River.
Like the Northeast, this region also contains parts of the Appalachian Mountains, and borders
the Atlantic ocean to the East.
The population of this region is 82 million.
Moving Westward, we reach the Great Plains region of the United States.
This region includes Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota.
There is a humid continental climate in this region.
Snow is common in the winter, especially in the northern areas.
The Great Lakes are in this region, as well as the great plains.
The Mississippi River also flows through this part of the US.
The region borders Canada to the North.
The population of the Great Plains region is 67 million.
Next is the Southwest region.
This region includes Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona.
This region has an interesting climate, with a semiarid steppe climate in the West and
a humid climate to the East.
Some areas could even be called alpine or desert.
Physical features of this region are the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River, and the Grand
Canyon.
The region borders the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico itself to the South.
The population of this region is 40 million.
Finally, we have reached the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.
This region includes Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, and
California.
Some would also include Alaska and Hawaii in this category.
This region is large, and therefore the climate varies greatly.
Climates in this region include semiarid, alpine, mediterranean along California's
coast, and desert in Nevada and southern California.
Physical features of this region are the Mojave Desert and the Rocky Mountains.
The region borders the Pacific Ocean to the West, Canada to the North, and Mexico to the
South.
The population of this region is 67 million people.
The US is a large country, and there are many different characteristics of the regions within
it.
Can you think of some similarities and differences between the Southeast, Northeast, Great Plains,
Southwest, and Pacific Northwest regions of the US?

Digital Media and Assistive Technology - Duration: 4:13.
Hi my name is Jacqeline Coon and I am here today to talk about my favorite places on campus, Emporia State University.
My first favorite place is the Rec center
The rec center is a place where you can go and work out.
and I love to work out so that is why this it's one of my favorite places
and I usually come here about 2 to 3 times a week
it lets me let go of my stress from the day
you can get a personal trainer to help you achieve a personal goal
you would like to reach
there are also classes you can take to get into shape
what I love about this place is how small it is
you can work out without being self-conscious
because there aren't as many people to watch you
You can also swim, play basketball, and ping-pong if you so desire
my next favorite place is the soccer fields
I have loved soccer for the longest time and all I need is a soccer ball
and I could spend hours upon hours just playing soccer
you have the freedom to do whatever you want
the field might not be the prettiest thing in the world
but the area around it is pretty
so that is another reason why I like the fields so much
it brings back the good memories of middle school and high school life
the next place is Wooster lake
there are usually ducks in the lake, but they got moved for the winter
and I walk by the lake everyday to go the cafeteria and to classes
the area around the lake is really pretty
especially in early fall when the leaves change colors and everything
I don't have a specific reason other than the lake is really pretty
the last place I like
is in front of Plumb hall
there is corky, a fountain, and walking paths
I love the scenery around the area as well
this is a good place to talk with someone
hangout, or just walk around
Well those were my favorite places on campus
I hope you liked it

Digital Story - Duration: 2:00.
let's explore earth's four seasons.
The four seasons include: spring, summer, fall or autumn, and winter.
Spring happens across the months of March, April, and May.
During spring, bees are busy at work with pollination,
flowers begin to grow and blossom,
insects are lively and crawling.
Summer is during the months of June, July, and August.
With longer days and short nights,
summer is the hottest season.
Summer is also known as the season of strenuous weather.
Fall or autumn is during the months of September, October, and November.
During fall, temperatures are fair,
and leaves change colors and began to fall.
Fall is also known as the season of harvest.
Days shorten and nights grow longer.
Winter comes during the months of December, January, and February.
With longer nights than days,
winter is the coldest icy month.
Insects go away, while animals hibernate.
These are your four seasons.

PEAT Talks Creative Recruiting Strategies for the Digital Age - Duration: 58:00.
I am very pleased today to welcome Jessica Miller-Merrell, of Exceptional HR Consulting.
Jessica is the founder of the HR and workplace resource Workology.com and has been recognized
by Forbes as a Top 50 Social Media Power User. There's a lot of people using social media.
That's a pretty – pretty high stat.
She is a technologist who focuses her efforts in human resources, healthcare, and the workplace.
I first met Jessica at a SHRM event and was struck by her depth of knowledge around recruiting
and HR in general through the employment life cycle. And we struck up a conversation which
today is really the result of that.
We asked Jessica here to really focus on how recruiters and HR leaders can prioritize their
digital recruiting options and move these efforts forward by developing smaller initiatives
designed to drive change and establish buy in.
So she is really here giving the cutting edge of technology and strategy as it relates to
recruiting for companies. And we are here – myself and PEAT – to give the lens of
accessibility. And this is really the beginning of the PEAT-Workology partnership we have
been talking about (inaudible). We are going to have a podcast series, maybe some blogs
and presentations, where we use Jessica's expertise around HR functions and tap into
her audience a little more and expose them to accessibility. And we use our lens and
expertise around accessibility and universal design and help our audience learn a bit more
about the cutting edge and the future of work as it relates to the kind of digital recruiting
and really technology used in the whole employment life cycle.
So that is what we are going to do. This is our maiden voyage, and so I am going to kind
of jump in from time to time adding on, or confusing, or something, whatever Jessica
says to give that accessibility lens.
Would love for people to participate in the conversation with questions or use that Chat
function to add your own insight to the conversation. And we will see how it goes. Thanks for joining
us.
With that I am going to turn it over to Jessica and we will give her a little time before
I probably interrupt her with some accessibility insider question, but Jessica, thanks so much
for joining us today.
Sure. Thanks for having me on.
Hi, guys! Excited to be here, and I love the live caption. This is amazing. And as Josh
said, that we have been doing some collaboration together, and I have been spending some time
diving into the world of accessibility and inclusion and universal design and all these
amazing technologies and tools that are being developed for the workplace.
So before we dive into all those things, I want to talk a little bit about some of the
things we are going to be talking about today.
We will be taking a look at live video, and I am excited for Josh's and PEAT's insight
in this particular area because I know that there are some challenges and some technologies
that maybe we can talk about around live video.
I also want to talk about how we can get creative so you don't have to have a million-dollar
budget or a dedicated social media guru or expert on your team in talent acquisition
to be able to make a difference using social media or digital assets in recruiting.
We will also take a look a little bit at candidate engagement and some different ways that digital
technology tools can help us in these areas as well as metrics and measurement. It is
important to put some KPI to all this tweeting and Facebooking and activity that is happening
online.
At the heart of digital is social media, and even though we are in the age of social media,
there is still a lot of misinformation and assumptions, I think, around how social media
is being used, especially by individuals maybe who are non-users. These could be maybe you
listening in. Could be your boss. Could be the CEO, somebody on your executive leadership
team. They don't understand how social media is permeating everything that we do.
The graphics that you see in front of you come from Nielsen. This is 2016 information.
And I want to draw your attention to a couple different areas. One of the first areas is
the 35-to-49-year-old audience. There are people who make a lot of assumptions that
the only people who use social media are 13-year-old girls or 16-year-olds on Snapchat. And if
you look at these demographics from Nielsen and information, you would see that that is
incorrect. That the 35-to-49-year-old community is spending an average of almost seven hours
a month on social media. And that number has increased 29% since Q3, this is of 2015 to
2016.
Seven hours a week is a long time. And if you look at the 50-plus group, you see from
Nielsen that they saw a 64% increase in time spent on social media. And this is an age
bracket, I think, that most people think, oh, they are not on social media, they aren't
online, they're not using these tools, they are not downloading apps in their iPhone,
and the information from Nielsen is telling us that that is not the case. This is an area
that is growing, and this demographic is spending four-plus hours a week on social media.
I like to start off with statistics from a report like this because they kind of help
us to set the stage a little bit to say social media is happening. It might not be just the
12-year-old girls, or my eight-year-old who wants to set up a YouTube channel that is
active on social media sites. But your employees and your job candidates are active on these
social platforms.
Social media is a passive activity in the job search. And I think that is important
for you to think about as these new tools, like employee review sites, Twitter, Facebook,
even Yelp, are growing more in importance. Candidates are doing so much more research
prior to that moment, that conversion moment, that moment where the sale is executed, where
they apply for the job.
When I look at the digital recruiting landscape, I know that it is complex. And so in this
graphic you will see that the career site is kind of the center of your digital recruiting
universe. One of the things that makes digital recruiting extremely challenging and also,
I think, fun, is the fact that there is no plug-and-play strategy. There is no solution
that is going to work everyone. And that is very common in recruitment. It is unique to
us as an individual organization, as an individual location, or even a group of people that we
are trying to reach in our recruiting effort.
So it really depends on a lot of different – different areas. And this recruiting universe
has the career site in the center. And all other social media platforms, tools, and technologies,
like Instagram, or Sourcing, or text messaging, or Snapchat, even a career landing page, their
goal is to drive that candidate to the ultimate conversion act, which is going to be happening
on your career site or within your talent community. They either apply for a job or
they join your candidate talent community.
All these other sites, with the exception of your career site, are rented space. You
don't own this. You don't control the experience. You are not in charge of the UAC,
the full branding, these are just rented. So it is important to remember that when you
are driving candidates to your ultimate destination which is your career site.
The rise of social media hasn't replaced existing tools like job boards, even career
fairs, or magazine ads. Those are still active out there in space. It has only added to them,
which is what we are going to be talking about some of that today.
Jessica, can I jump in there, make some quick plugs and add ons.
First of all I would like to steer new people to PEAT to our resources and on our website
at PEATWorks.org. We have a whole host of resources and tools, tip sheets and best practices
called Talent Works. It is really all about kind of sourcing and the job recruiting and
the job application process. Both are not limited to one or the other of these dots
on your graphic. So we will have stuff on there that can help you make sure that your
website is accessible, and the most common pitfalls with solutions around job boards
within one's career site or on job boards.
But we also talk about social media and the most-used platforms there. And what are the
ways to make that most accessible and most usable by the broadest number possible so
the company can go out and find the best talent.
So I would encourage people to check out PEATWorks.org. Talent Works, which we put in the Chat box
there.
Thanks.
Great. Thank you. And, yeah, they do have a lot amazing resources.
And when we think of the candidate landscape, I also want to point out that increasingly
more of our job candidates are relying on mobile devices, so it is a mobile-first world.
Mobile internet traffic eclipsed desktop internet last year. So making sure that your website
is mobile and accessible for as many people as possible is extremely important.
For many different individuals, mobile is the first computer of choice. In fact, for
many it is the only computer in their home. So having a mobile apply process is extremely
important.
Candidates now are also expecting the same level and type of experience from us as recruiters
and employers that they are receiving in the consumer world. So consumer world of like
service and technologies. When they make a decision or a purchase decision. Just like
Wendy's is really great on Twitter right now, and they are very engaging and exciting.
You can ask a question via a Chat bot on Facebook to an organization and help understand what
is going on with shipping or level of service. They are getting instant access to resources
and engagement. And so these organizations, they are consumer driven, but candidates and
your employees are expecting the same level of service when it comes to us in the (inaudible)
market, or in the employee engagement market, regarding social media and digital technology.
Because our candidates have this expectation for resources at their fingertips, we need
to find ways to anticipate their questions and needs. And then I also want to think about
automation for these processes. Because I realize there are more tools in our toolbelt
than ever before, and we have a lot more work that we need to be doing. Maybe our teams
are smaller as we have streamlined and cut expenses, so having automation is extremely
important to help manage some of those things.
Social is all about the candidate experience, and as recruiters it is our responsibility
to attract the best talent and provide an experience that is creative and engaging.
Jessica, I know you are going to share some of those with us throughout the presentation,
the cutting edge and new ways that companies are doing this. I want to just double down
and emphasize the mobile curve because not only are they increasingly in use, but I would
say, you know, we like to advocate for accessibility where we can. And the truth is, if you are
doing great universally-designed, clean code, make your stuff accessible, it will work splendidly
on a mobile phone. If you are paying attention to accessibility, you will make sure that
you have a mobile platform so that it can display well. And so accessibility and universal
design really go hand in hand with mobile and the increased use. That's without even
getting into the smartphones, which have always really been on the cutting edge of accessibility.
Before we go on further, Jessica, just going to touch upon a question we had here around
the importance of accessibility of job sites itself or application materials. There is
a lot there. I am not sure exactly what the participant is curious in, but what I would
say is, you know, we came about Talent Works because of a survey we did. Close to 500 people
that self-identify as a person with a disability that had applied for a job online in the last
year. And they found their way to our site to take the survey themselves, so they are
probably pretty tech-savvy folks to begin with.
And almost half of those people had difficulty or could not complete the job application
process. And so, I mean, that's my – my bottom line of why it is important there is
that if you have obstacles and glitches regarding accessibility on your site, you are going
to miss a huge talent pool. You know, anecdotally we have an awesome blog from Sassy Atwater
(sp) on our site about her experience in the job application, and the accessibility issues
she encountered, and how the company dealt with them. And I think it is a powerful and
moving tale around why it is important to build accessibility.
We have got other resources, other PEAT Talks, archived that talk about job boards and their
accessibility issues. And so, you know, without going too much into it, I would just say it's
crucial to make sure your application and recruitment stuff is accessible or you are
just going to miss talent. And any company out there knows the competition for talent
is steep, and you want all the options possible.
That said, if that doesn't answer people's questions correctly, we will give information
at the end to address it further.
Pardon the interruption, and back to you, Jessica.
I love this. Thank you, Josh. I – I – I'm learning, too. I can't wait to check out
this article that you have shared here. I think getting feedback from job seekers is
so critical to building out your recruitment strategy, whether it is using job boards or
using digital technology.
One of the technologies I do want to talk about, and if you are in the Chat box here,
maybe, if you know who this is, post just the word "yes." Okay? I just want to see.
So, if you can – if you know who this – this photo, or this strange picture, is, go ahead
and post the word "yes" in the Chat box. I see a few people that have (inaudible).
This is April, all right. She is a giraffe whose birth was livestreamed on the internet.
It was the single most watched livestream video in the history of the internet. I think
it was over 32 billion minutes of time that was spent watching her livestream. And they
put up the video, the zoo in Pennsylvania, and they made the statement that this giraffe
was getting ready to have a baby. And giraffes are in – are pregnant for a very long time,
I think it is 14 months. And so the media caught wind, thought this giraffe was giving
birth any day. And for probably about 45 days, my daughter and I logged in every morning
and every evening to check on April to see if she had her baby yet. And I think many
of you, it looks like, have probably – were doing the same thing. We all had kind of like
April fever.
So this, in my mind, is a great example of how live video provides an opportunity to
engage a community of people. For us it is our job seekers or employee population. And
what I really liked about April was the participation that was happening in the live feed. So people
from all over the world were logging in, and talking to each other, and sharing. And I
see a lot of those possibilities and things happening in the areas of live video, particularly
with Facebook.
So one of the companies I do want to talk about, and I will talk some more about in
depth here in a little bit, is American Heart Association. They have successfully used live
video through periscope video chats and Twitter chats to engage their job seekers. They are
really focused on diversity initiatives and have a commitment to presenting one diverse
candidate to the final round of interviews. And have done that using live video, among
things.
Let me talk about some more of the benefits here for you.
The video offers real-time engagement. It allows you to build trust. I have a nice report
that I will show you in a moment from the Edelman Trust monitor. So it allows you to
actively engage a job seeker. Look them in – eye to eye. They can see you and build
that relationship. It allows you to humanize the hiring process. I feel like HR always
gets some bad PR, recruiters fall into that same category, because the job seeker doesn't
necessarily always understand the hiring process, or the timeline, or even the difference between
a corporate recruiter and a third-party recruiter or a headhunter recruiter.
So video kind of allows you to humanize that process. You put a person aligned with a brand
that can share stories about the culture, the company, and you can be able to answer
questions in real time like we are doing here but through the power of video.
Here is the report that I was mentioning. This is an example of humanizing the hiring
process. This is a report that comes to us from Edelman. Every year they have a trust
monitor, and it looks at who is the most trustworthy person. It's based for consumer sales and
products, but I am looking at this from an employee-centric perspective. And you can
see in the Edelman trust monitor – or in the Edelman trust monitor it shows that whether
it is hiring managers, recruiters, or employee ambassadors, employees are the most credible
and trustworthy of all representatives in your company. That is more than the CEO, more
than a blogger or influencer, more than a media spokesperson. And so video allows you
to really amplify that trust.
Let's talk about some examples of live video for you.
One of my favorites is a career service center at FIU. And they have a live video, Facebook
live chat, that happens once a week or once every couple times a week. It's not high
tech. it's not overly produced. It is live. And you simply log in to Facebook Live using
your social media account and shoot your video. FIU career services answers questions for
their students, and they provide them with information. And you can see here, this video,
which was screenshotted a while ago, but it has almost 1,800 views. And they didn't
spend any money in promoting or really producing this. So it offers a really great way to be
able to engage your job seeker community.
Jessica, I remember one time, and maybe I'm jumping the gun and you are going to get to
it, but you referenced a rise in use of live videostreams. Do you remember those statistics?
Now you are putting me on the spot. Um, so –
Putting you on the spot, but –
Yes.
It was a lot. The point is it was astronomical – exponential in its use in the last six
months and it will probably keep increasing. And so keep going with these examples, and
I want to talk a little bit about –
Okay.
Disability, but just so the audience knows this is – this is being used and rapidly
growing.
Yeah, you're messing with my flow, Josh, but that's okay.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
(Inaudible). You're good. You're good.
Eight billion daily views on Facebook video, okay? And they have seen a 100% growth in
six months. And I will talk a little bit more in a second here about some different platforms.
Another company I wanted to just share, and I don't have anything about their particular
area in the slides, but go to AT&T Careers' Facebook page if you will. They are doing
kind of an ask-me-anything-style live Facebook chat that is really effective. And individual
recruiters, talent acquisition leaders, are answering questions live for job seekers on
the fly. These media assets are also downloadable, uploadable to YouTube. They can be edited.
Placed different places throughout your recruiting sort of digital tool. But AT&T also has a
really great Facebook Live.
Not to mention they have a really amazing chat box as well. So when you log into their
page, their Facebook chat box pops up encouraging you to engage them immediately.
Oh, let me go back real fast here because I did mention American Heart Association,
and I have a really great podcast interview with Nisha Raghavan. She is the recruiting
leader for American Heart Association. They are a small nonprofit, so they run very lean.
And they really rely on their employees and their brand ambassadors within the organization
to share stories on social media. So they don't have a professional production studio
or an agency that they are using to engage. They simply use a hashtag, which is theahalife,
or the aha life – American Heart Association, that they post all over social media.
It's very active. It's not just Nisha and the recruiting team. It is employees that
are engaging, sharing what it is like, living in the moment, working at a great organization
for them that really has – has a purpose.
I do want to talk a little bit about the individual social sites for you to think about because
there is a lot of them. So I'm just going to kind of quickly go through a few.
Facebook here is the F. You are familiar with that.
The little bird here is Twitter. It's a very great tool. I love Twitter. Now 280 characters,
expanded recently for everyone. Longer tweets. A lot of engagement. Real-time breaking news.
It is a great way to have Twitter chats and talk to different types of individuals across
the company. Companies like AT&T and others have used Twitter chats to be able to engage
specific protected classes like women in technology to be able to drive interest and conversation
with their organization and hopefully increase the number of candidates that are applying
for their programs in specific positions.
We are also probably familiar with LinkedIn. That is kind of the professional network,
I think, social network of choice for us.
Also, Pinterest is another platform here. It's a little "p". That is predominantly
female. That is something that you should consider looking at. I have seen some companies
do some interesting things there including pinning a board that includes pictures to
be able to provide employees with guidance on dress codes. If your organization has like
a lot of retail outlets and they purchase their own polos or pants or whatnot, I have
seen organizations make boards that way to help communicate with the do's and don'ts
of a dress code. I don't think any of us in HR and recruiting want to deal with those
kind of issues, but it provides some guidance there and makes it a little fun with social.
Another area is Instagram. And I mentioned the Facebook 100% growth in six months. Engagement
on Instagram is ten times higher than Facebook. So less words, more photos, more videos. Kind
of real-time captures and conversations. So ten-times higher engagement over a photo.
And Instagram is also 84 times higher engagement than Twitter.
In the bottom row here you see the little "v". That's a vine. That is sort of
a Twitter tool that is very niche. It has a small following. It loops video. You record
it, upload it, and then the video keeps looping.
Another one here is a little yellow ghost. You might be familiar with it. It is Snapchat.
Going to talk about some Snapchat examples here in a minute. It is also a video and photo
engagement platform. Content disappears after 24 hours. It disappears. (Inaudible) away.
The next one over here is Periscope. It is kind of a little pin with the – it kind
of looks like an eyeball. But that is the video platform that I mentioned that the American
Heart Association has had some success with.
Hopefully you are familiar with YouTube in terms of video. They offer the ability to
record livestream video and also upload video. And that is helpful, you know, to be able
to engage candidates and provide storytelling opportunities.
The last one that I just will mention briefly is a tool called Medium. And that is a blogging
tool. It is a free platform that anyone can use. It has a cult following in the area of
technology. So you can upload video, or post articles and stories. It is kind of the tech
tool of choice. There are a number of recent articles that have went viral on Medium, mostly
kind of employee stories, but a lot of the major media outlets, Business Week, and Buzzfeed,
and others – I can't believe Buzzfeed a major news outlet – but they are posting
on Medium.
It probably is now numbers-wise.
I want to chime in just on the different platforms, just talking about social media in general
as it relates to accessibility. One of the challenges around – for employers is just
kind of keeping up the pace – the pace of technology, the pace of games. But thankfully
we are seeing improvements in that area. When we first put out Talent Works a couple of
years ago, there were a host of issues on many of these social media platforms that
have since – they have made great gains. And so whether it is, you know, closed captioning,
or being able to recognize facial recognition, or being able to put alt text into Twitter,
social media is very much paying attention to accessibility, and so it means that employers
should be as well.
A couple of things in recruiting, and, again, the best practice of, you know, like we have
(inaudible) captioning. But if you have a video, you should make sure you have captioning.
Have a transcript so people can access it.
But she was talking about the live video and the huge use of that by employers. That does
present some challenges. There are companies that have piloting things. Facebook has some.
Microsoft Oath, which was formerly Yahoo. All of them have some versions of live captioning
that works on machine learning. But, you know, as you probably know from maybe dictating
to your phone or something, it doesn't always work smoothly, but it is improving. But I
would expect soon that would be a feature that works on almost all live videos. But
until then I want to make sure employers and recruiters are aware if using live video to
be mindful to try to engage as much as possible. And if you can ever put a transcript up later,
that is super helpful.
Thank you. And I – that's what I was alluding to, too, because that has been a conversation
that has come up – question a few times in some different sessions and panels that
I have done is what service can you use, and Facebook has launched, as of June of this
year, closed captioning on Facebook Live. It's not perfect, but we will continue to
see enhancements in those areas.
And I want to talk about a few more examples and then we will get into some different areas
that I think will be a lot of fun to kind of look at social and digital differently.
This is Instagram here, and you can see it is not just about their job postings. This
is Zappos in the example. They are sharing about bring your child to work day. And they
just have a cute little photo here that they are using to engage. Zappos is all about engagement.
They have an interesting application process. You don't actually formally apply for a
specific role. It is more about a culture fit, and then through a series of networking
and kind of open houses that happen over a period of time.
Speaking of diversity on social media, I talked a little bit about American Heart Association.
AOL has an interesting case study that they have used recently with regard to Snapchat.
And they had a Built by Girls campaign which increased application interest by18%. And
for one week AOL ran ten second ads on Snapchat in the video section of Discover. There is
a portion of Snapchat that is kind of like a news and media site. It is just quick videos
and articles, so you can run ads in there, and that's what AOL did.
And I mentioned the 18% interest in applications, which I think is interesting but it is not
outstanding. What I found interesting is that while they had an 18% application interest
increase, they did have an increase – an increase of profile views on Glass Door directly
after like running this campaign of 40%. So, these candidates might not have been going
directly to the AOL website, but they were more likely going to Glass Door to read about
what it is like at the organization.
So this week-long campaign reached eight million users and generated 17 million views. And
this information comes to us according to Snapchat.
So my suggestion to you is don't just think about social media in terms of – or digital
tools in terms of – Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, employee review sites, job boards, Yelp, Google,
all these different media assets and communities that are happening online are opportunities
to be able to provide your candidates information and resources about your organization and
why you are a great option for them to consider for employment.
Another quick Snapchat story for you is I think that, you know, AOL is an interesting
story, but that was a large expense that they – large media expense – that they spent
on this particular campaign. One example that I did want to point out is with AT&T. So they
have been using Snapchat Spectacle. And they have a Life at AT&T Snapchat account. So these
are just little sunglasses that have a camera attached to the top. As you can see the women
there, they are touching the top of their sunglasses to take the photo or shoots a ten-second
video that is done in Bluetooth directly into their Snapchat app on their phone.
And so with the Life at AT&T Snapchat account, they purchased a large number of these spectacles,
shipped them all over to different employees who were brand ambassadors through the organization,
and allowed them to take over their Life at AT&T Snapchat for the day.
So what ends up happening is that before you do a Snapchat takeover, the first thing you
do is you tell all your friends with Snapchat and social media that you are doing a takeover.
And you invite everybody in your community to go over to the Life at AT&T Snapchat and
join you.
Most of those people don't leave. And so every day a new person comes and takes over
that account and does the same thing. And so they have been able to brow their following
really quickly. These spectacles were under – they were about $100.00, and so if they
bought 20 of them, it is a relatively minimum investment, and then would just ship them
all over the country to the different brand ambassadors who took over their account for
the day.
I love this example because it gets employees involved, empowers them, and that organization
is giving them a huge amount of trust to – which is then, again, just like Edelman trust monitor
– is all about building that trust and then driving those buy-in decisions, those applying
decisions directly to your career site.
One other tool I want to talk about is virtual reality. This is a growing area, and not just
in the areas of training, and development, and sort of storytelling. But I am seeing
a number of companies providing sort of virtual career fairs, or virtual tours of their organization.
One of those companies is Gap. And at South by Southwest they had a virtual reality experience.
Basically you went to their job fair booth, and stopped by, strapped on a VR headset,
and I was able to experience a 360-degree virtual tour of the San Francisco and New
York offices. I mean I could see the bridge out the window and felt like I was sitting
in their coffee bar right in San Francisco. It was – it was amazing. And you wear the
glasses, you have the headset on, and then you go through the tour.
This, for them, was a success. It was somewhat expensive. However, you can purchase kind
of the cardboard branded version of the VR headsets and use them at career fairs. I have
seen a number of organizations do that.
With Gap, they chose to do this at a number of small events that were really specialized,
so engineers, the STEM community. But then also like fashion designers that they wanted
to court and bring, so they wanted to say, here is how we are different than, you know,
the competition down the street, come with us and you can see what it is really like
in New York fashion week.
So this was a great example, and they saw some really great success from it.
I also want to talk a little bit about is Programmatic. I think Programmatic is a great
way to be able to target candidates using a pay-for-click model similar to what happens
on social media, Facebook and Instagram and Twitter.
So you can target candidates, either on job postings or through social media. You can
pop a pixel into some of these social profiles, and then what ends up happening, and I'm
sure you have seen this happen when you have been at Nordstrom's or Amazon online and
suddenly this purse or these shoes or whatever gadget follows you over the internet. You
can use programmatic job postings, or retargeting, or targeted social ads to be able to engage
these job seekers. So if they visit a specific landing page on your career site or attend
a certain event, you add a code and then allow that candidate to be able to follow – you
follow them all over the web. And so they continue to see your job ad or opportunities
or invitation to a career fair. The experience is – is completely up to you.
When your (inaudible) tags, it just pops up all over the web. And with programmatic in
particular, you have the ability to dial your activity up or down. So programmatic really
allows you to give visibility pay-per-click model on some of these job boards providing
candidates a real targeted experience. The number of people who go beyond the first page
in a Google search or even a job board list is relatively minimal. So these sponsored
ads allow you to be able to reach those candidates that are searching for a series of specific
keywords and hopefully visit your profile or the specific job posting, you convert them
to a candidate, and then once you have enough candidates, say you just needed 20, you just
shut that off and then send it over to another job posting.
This has proved very – very useful, and I am able to – to using KPIs – assume
that what my cost-per-applicant is based on previous activity. And when you think about
some of these organizations or some of these roles, if you use a third-party headhunter
or you are using a traditional job board, you now how expensive they can be. And so
you just need 30 candidates to be able to make a hire because you know what your ratios
are, you just spend $6.00 per click, that's going to net you 18 candidates. It might lead
to a specific hire. And the cost for that is relatively small when you think about a
third-party agency or even some of these job boards or a LinkedIn recruiter seat.
Before we kind of dive into some other areas, I do want to talk about knowing your audience.
I think that, you know, we have talked about some sexy, cool stuff here, VR, programmatic,
and you are saying, well, Snapchat sounds fun, but I don't know if this is for me.
I don't know if my employees or my candidates are using virtual reality or are they really
using Facebook in their everyday lives.
The key for you is to start with a survey. So talk with your existing candidates or recent
hires. I have a 20-question survey that I use with my clients. You put them through
and ask them what they do in their job search, the tools that they use, what did they use
personally versus professionally, and you gain all this information.
What is nice is that when you have this information you have – you are able to go to an executive
sponsor in your organization, could be the COO or the VP of sales that keeps bugging
you because he needs, you know, 15 sales person – people tomorrow. Pull them in and say,
hey, I'm working on something, I have a good idea, I would like to lighthouse this
with your team, but I need your executive support.
So this executive sponsor goes to bat for you in these critical meetings and will be
willing to maybe front a little bit of the budget and some experimentation with this
lighthouse.
It is critical to have a senior leader on your side in these closed-door confrontations
that you might not be a part of. And so once you get that relationship and that participation
with the sponsor, right, because they want their hires – they want better quality hires,
they want them trained faster, they want to spend less money, and they don't want to
spend all this time sorting through all these candidates. You can help them with that. You
want to do some experimentation with your lighthouse, which is what you are shining
a spotlight on. It's not a pilot, it's a lighthouse. And you are shining a spotlight
on something that you are working on.
It can be a 30-, 60-, or 90-day program. Maybe it is around programmatic or maybe you are
doing some social targeting or some advertising. But that allows you to have a plan and then
have a sponsor. And then you can start to focus on the metrics to measurement, like
how you prove your model, your assumption. And then you can kind of work through your
success, failures, but you have your KPI so you will be able to monitor your progress.
Before we go on to some additional reporting, I do want to talk about activities and times
– peak times – you should be posting on social media because I think, again, just
like assuming that there are only 12-year-old girls on Snapchat or Facebook, the time to
post on social media is often surprising. And what I have found is the busiest day is
Facebook and Twitter is on Sunday. And candidates are sharing and connecting with friends. This
is personal conversations, not necessarily job-search related. However, there is something
that normally happens, and I have seen it happen on Twitter in my research. It is called
the Sunday Blues. And it normally peaks on Twitter around 2:00 p.m. their time when the
realization hits them that they have to go back to work on Monday. And so they post – tend
to post more negative things about their business, or their organization, their work, or their
boss on Sundays at 2:00 p.m.
And then on Monday, that is the busiest day across the board applying for jobs. So my
point to you is engagement doesn't necessarily happen Monday through Friday from 8:00 to
5:00. So consider adding some of these well-thought-out scheduled activities maybe on those peak times
on social media, which are the weekend.
As far as organization of content on social media, it is really critical not only to be
automated as much as possible, but to have a plan. And that starts with what I call an
editorial calendar. I like to use a Google spreadsheet template to track conversations.
It helps to decide the types of content of social media so you can share with your team.
But one example of this is pie day, which happens on March 14th. Also AT&T, they use
this across all social media channels with regard to their STEM recruiting efforts.
I thought it was cool. It was planned out in advance, and they worked directly with
the corporate, marketing, and communications team to build out the graphics and associated
media assets that they needed. And then they were able to tag team a little bit on the
different social profiles.
By having a plan you can do that, and it keeps you from kind of running around with your
hair on fire last minute. So the ed cal is a great way to collaborate with marketing
and communications sort of trying to build that relationship because so much of what
we do – I know we know this – is marketing and communications related, but not everybody
outside of recruitment and talent acquisition necessarily gets that – that's a lot of
what we are doing.
When it comes to candidate engagement, I do want to just say that I hear you. I know that
you are working with teams that were less than two years ago and seven years ago, and
we have all of these tools and technology. So automation is your best friend. And there
are some different ways to be able to tackle that so that you aren't responding – you
don't have to be on Twitter every day, every five minutes, tweeting something amazing.
It is important to use different tools, like your ATF, so set up some different automation
messaging. Drive them to access once they apply for a role. Have a Frequently Asked
Questions asset that you have listed on your career site or your blog that you can drive
people to. Or maybe it is a video directly from an employee or the CEO, someone within
your organization, that can talk about what they can expect throughout the hiring and
recruitment process. Give them that information that they need so they feel like that they
are getting sort of that humanized personal touch even though you are kind of intimating
that on the back end.
Also you can automate your social feeds a little bit. And I think that is a totally
acceptable thing to do. And that could be using some tools like MeetEdgar or some Hootsuite
are a couple of my favorite ones.
All right. I know we are getting close on time, so I am just going to talk briefly about
text messaging and then we can kind of move through to some metrics here.
I have seen some real success with text messaging where we have had an 80% response rate from
cold text message to candidates who had never engaged with a recruiter before. So this is
a great way to be able to engage candidates at a different level in a different way.
So just quickly here, this is just an email confirma – or a text message confirmation
just confirming with the candidate that they have an interview. I have seen this done a
number of different ways. Another one is just a cold text message. Again, 80% response rate
that I have seen with a couple of different clients just strictly using text messaging.
Keep in mind that text messaging itself has a 99% read rate within 60 seconds. So people
are reading the texts. They are choosing not to respond or to respond. But it so much higher
than an email, or a voicemail, or sometimes even a social media message.
Here is another one that is talking about completing your onboarding packet. So pushing
people through the hiring process.
Another example of using text messaging is through like a digital business card. I know
that a lot of us don't have business cards handy, or maybe sometimes we are in place
where we don't one on our person, so you can create a virtual text business card. You
can test it out. Just text JMM to 55678, and then you will see what pops up on the screen.
Jessie, I'll just jump in there and I know text messaging, (a) you gave the metrics for
why it is useful and important. I have seen it increasingly used. It is definitely where
folks are going because it is where their audience is. I just have to say, make a plug,
that that is highly accessible. I, again, mention about the smartphone. But if you just
– as long as you are mindful of the text you are putting in there. I saw some abbreviations,
I would avoid that, but, you know, anyone can read it. The phones themselves can speak
the text message. So I think it is a great way to reach a broad audience.
Hadn't thought about the abbreviations. So you are limited to characters with a standard
text message. It's 160 characters.
People are used to that, so they can work through it. There's a screen reader. But
best practice is definitely to be mindful of those.
That's a great suggestion.
Let's talk a little bit about metrics here quickly.
Things that you need to measure in terms of visual recruiting include source of hire.
More than just a drop down. We should be cooking these candidates and be able to measure where
they are coming from to determine what candidates are the highest-quality candidates and highest-quality
hires, what are those sources.
Another common term you will see is impressions, and that is just kind of the possibility,
like somebody scrolling through. They are not stopping, but your ad or your article
or your blog or your tweet is an impression popping through the screen.
And conversion is when they actually have a call to action and they do something. They
subscribe to your newsletter. They apply for job. They join your online digital career
event that you are having.
Engagements are conversations that are happening, so they tweet you a question, what is the
status on my resume? You respond. That's an engagement.
Clicks are clicks. They are clicking through your URL, and then a common metric that we
have for us is time to fill.
One tool that I think that all of us should be taking advantage of is Google Analytics.
If you get anything from this presentation other than Josh's amazing tips on accessibility
which are certainly important, and it would be interesting to see – I don't think
we have this capability in Google Analytics – but I would love to see the metrics around
candidates who are using a website that is accessible versus one that is not accessible
because I would gather to think that your time on site is going to be longer, candidates
are going to be more engaged, they are going to be viewing more pages, they are not just
going to be leaving the site.
But Google Analytics is a free tool. It is easy to set up. You just pop some code into
your existing career site, and then using a Gmail account, you can understand and see
the number of views on your page, where they are going to next, the amount of time that
they are spending on those pages and on your career site overall, as well as the type of
devices that they are using.
Some final thoughts before we take some questions here.
I think that social recruiting is a creative activity, so kind of art and science. I like
the arts, quite obviously, but it is the science side that really drives the business case
and gets the ROI so that we can begin to experiment and evolve our digital strategies even more.
What is important is don't be afraid to spotlight these small projects and plans that
you have.
And be okay with mistakes because I – in my experience – have learned more through
my failures than I have with my successes. And that is a lot of what this digital recruiting
space is. It's not a science yet. You can look at metrics and measurements, but really
be prepared for it to go sideways or a different way. That is where that good executive sponsor
is going to come in to be able to really help you.
Awesome. Thank you, Jessica.
So we did have a couple more minutes left, and I would love for people to chime in with
your own questions, whether it be around accessibility or around recruiting in the digital age. You
can use the Chat window there to put your questions in, and we will try to get to some
of them if we can. I see someone is typing now. I'll wait one second.
While we are waiting, actually, I will go ahead and plug to save time for next month's
call. Wo we won't be – we won't be meeting in December, we won't have a PEAT TALKS.
But in January, on the third Thursday, the 18th, we are going to have Oath's Senior
Director, which used to be Yahoo, Senior Director of Accessibility Media Larry Goldberg and
Facebook's Director of Accessibility Jeff Wieland. They lead up a program called Teach
Access. And they are working with industry, academia, action groups to expand the quality
and quantity of undergraduate programs to teach the fundamentals of accessibility and
universal design.
So I really encourage folks to come and learn. Larry and Jeff are awesome. That will be in
the new year. I am looking forward to having them on here.
Looks like we got a question here that says, you mentioned the importance of source of
hire. Some people are having trouble getting their HR officers to understand "drop down"
menu isn't an accurate way to collect true source of hire. Do you have any resources
that I can explore for a better way to capture this information?
I'm going to – that seems squarely in more of Jessica HR expertise area. Does that
translate for you, Jessica, and can you approach Rachel's question?
Yeah. Thanks, Rachel, I can definitely help you with this.
So I think that the dropdown menu – number one, at least they are using a dropdown menu,
so they have some information. But that information is fatally flawed. Most candidates will pick
either, one, the easiest one, which normally is the first one that you have listed on your
dropdown. Or two, they will pick the one that they think is most likely to get them hired,
right? So it's not accurate information.
And one thing that we have done in the past with a company that I was working with, is
we added a fake job site that we don't even recruit on as the first option. And 70% of
the candidates, during like a 60-day window that we tested this out, they picked option
one, which was one that didn't even exist.
So you are correct in that the dropdown menu is not an accurate way to really assess source
of hire.
The best strategy to use is cookie-ing the sources. So you drop a little code on a job
posting, and then it will pull that information back. And so then you – depending upon the
actual tracking system that you are using – it will be able to recognize that cookie
and say, okay, this person came from, you know, XYZ website, or this Twitter account,
or Facebook. Cookie-ing is the best way to be able to get that information. You are going
to only really be able to get the final destination. So you don't get the full picture unless
you use some of these new age career sites that are in existence right now where you
cookie your site and you can track some of the activities. There are number of technologies
that are available right now for career site optimization that you can use that will be
able to show you, in some cases, the path that the candidate took, the number of sites
that they visited, the Glass Door account that they have used before the application.
If you want resources, I can kind of talk more offline about it. I can put you in touch
with one of my talent acquisition friends that is all over this, and she has some really
fascinating research that she has done on her own with her organization.
Well, thanks for the question answer, and really I think we can probably go to the next
slide which has – Jessica shares her contact information. And so if there are further questions,
you can capture it there. Again, you can download this on our website, and this will be archived,
the whole presentation, online before too long. But she has kindly offered up her information
there for follow-up questions.
We can also be reached at info@peatworks.org, or replying to the – well not (inaudible)
to Adobe. Let's stick to info@peatworks.org. But any questions, feel free to follow up.
So thank you very much, everyone, for joining us. Thank you, Jessica. I plugged the PEAT
Talk in January. We are taking December off. But I did want to plug – just highlight
an online course that I think a lot of people here may be interested in. it is for hiring
managers and recruiters, and it is called Introduction to Inclusive Talent Acquisition.
It is a free online course. Self-paced. It is put out by the Harvard School in partnership
with the Perkins School for the Blind. And it really helps people learn about inclusion
and really how to best attract and hire people with disabilities during that part of the
process. So we tell people to check that out. And you can enroll up until December 12th.
And we have got a link up on our website. So I wanted to plug that. I thought some of
our audience members from today might be interested.
Definitely give a special thanks to Jessica for speaking with us today, for sharing her
insights and expertise from the HR world. All of you who took time to join us. We – we
are – as I mentioned, this is the beginning of our partnership. Jessica and PEAT, we are
going to work on – we are currently working on a podcast series called the Future of Work.
We are going to talk about artificial intelligence and more about virtual reality, live videos,
the gig economy. Lots of cutting edge stuff that is going to impact employers and the
accessibility issues with those.
So stay tuned to Workology. Stay tuned to PEAT Works. And we will be getting those out,
hopefully some this year and definitely on into the new year if you are interested in
those topics.
So thanks so much. Thank you again, Jessica, and I hope everybody has a great rest of the
day.

Digital Technology and Consumerism in China - Duration: 4:25.
It's extremely convenient. I buy stuff on Taobao from home
and it's delivered to me the next day
Very convenient, very fast.
Now with online shopping
a lot of people will have impulse buys
If the product were being sold in a physical store
I think I'd have to consider it a lot more
I went on vacation to 22 cities
I didn't bring a wallet or credit card
I was able to everything with my phone
Q: what negative impacts could things like Wechat and Taobao have?
The negative impact is spending too much money
You originally don't need anything, but you see something you like so you buy it
So you end up buying a lot of stuff
Before if you had clothes for this season
you'd just wear what you had
Now it's not like that
There's this phrase in China that says
there's always that one piece of clothing missing from a woman's closet.
In the past people in China were very poor
They'd yearn for the nice things they saw
Now that people have money in their pockets
they like to buy expensive things to show off their status
Society getting wealthier causes huge amounts of waste
Before when China was poor, a shirt would be worn for maybe 3-5 years
Now a shirt's only worn a few times before it's thrown out

Learn to Block Purchases on Android - Digital Parenting Minute [Ep 9] - Duration: 1:34.
Today, I'm going to talk to you about
how you can make sure there aren't any unwanted purchases
on your Android device, by insuring you have the correct
authentication settings for the Google Play Store.
Let's jump into it.
(tribal drumming)
From your Android device, you will need
to launch the Play Store.
Once in the Play Store, you can select
the menu button to open the side menu.
From here, select settings.
From the settings menu, scroll to the option that says
Require authentication for purchases.
You will need to make sure that this is set to
For all purchases through Google Play on this device.
This will make sure that every time there is a purchase
to be made, that you have to authenticate
before completing the purchase.
Depending on the version of Android that you have,
it may be configured to always ask for authentication
if the application is targeted for kids.
However, it's still a good idea
to make sure this setting is set to all purchases.
From back in the settings menu,
you also can enable fingerprint authentication
if supported by your Android device.
This will allow your authentication for purchases
to be either your fingerprint or your password.
This can ease the process of having
to authenticate for each purchase.
With this setting in place, you don't have
to worry about your child making unauthorized purchases
from your Android device,
as long as they don't know your password.
