What's cracking at TalentEgg

For the team here at TalentEgg, the summer is really about preparing and the Fall – when students are back at school – is all about execution.

In the past 6 weeks,

We’ve published 5 special Focus microsite series’: Focus on Accounting, Focus on Engineering, Focus on Financial Services, Focus on Mining (in partnership with MiHR), and Focus on Sales & Marketing.

Coming up in the next few weeks is still Focus on Petroleum, in partnership with the Petroleum Human Resource Council (and we have a whole bunch planned for January/February too).

These special microsites have been fantastically received, with students, professors, and career professionals commenting that each Focus serves as a top-notch, unparalleled resources that truly leverages the power of the web to give students and new grads a useful resource and starting point for planning their careers. If you haven’t yet, I strongly urge you to check them out!

TalentEgg.ca has hit milestone numbers: Including 45% traffic growth from August to September, the publication of our 650th career article for students and new grads, and the addition of over 15 new employers to the TalentEgg.ca site, including IBM, Cenovus Energy, Blockbuster, Procter & Gamble, Hershey’s, and more!

We were featured in the Financial Post and on BNN: A full page article was published in the Financial Post highlighting TalentEgg’s rapid growth, and we were also featured on a special segment for BNN taped here at TalentEgg-HQ!

We hosted a party for writers, interns, and friends of TalentEgg: Last Friday, we had a little get-together and invited the people who have helped us get to these significant, fantastic milestones.

Yesterday, I took a bit of time to reflect on all the changes happening at TalentEgg, and attempted to look at our growth and the products we offer from an objective, 10,000 ft standpoint. The long and short of it is – you can expect a lot of continued (and maybe even ENHANCED) energy and enthusiasm from us. We’re aggressively building the content on the site, adding new, top quality employers all the time, and expanding and enriching the editorial and resource-content that accompanies it.

If you represent an employer and your company isn’t on TalentEgg yet, talk to us about what a profile on TalentEgg involves, and see how you can get on board. If you want more information in the mean time, check our new “employer info page”.

And if you’re a student or recent grad – talk to us! Post your questions in our discussion forum, and send us your feedback!
