Your members turn to your association for information and support, including help with planning and growing their careers. In fact, the Association Trends Study shows that job opportunities and career advancement support are two of the most important benefits for members.
Of course, there are many career websites out there today. But as a trusted resource, your association has an opportunity to provide THE go-to online career center for your industry or profession. You can set your online career center apart from other career sites by offering industry-specific job opportunities and a wealth of unique career development resources – all in one convenient location.
Providing Data to Help Your Members Make Career Decisions
A powerful way to provide unique member value is to offer data to help your members make career decisions. For example, imagine if you could provide your members with data to help them make more informed decisions about whether to apply for a job based on location.
YM Careers by Momentive Software makes it possible to do just that with the Community Intel tool built into the job search page on your YM Careers-powered online job board.
What is Community Intel for Association Job Boards?
Community Intel is a built-in tool on the job search page that provides candidates with a dataset for a specific job location. This information allows your members to make a well-informed decision about applying for a particular job without leaving your online job board to conduct research. Community Intel displays location-based data, including:
- Cost of living index
- Median apartment rent
- Safety index
- Cost of basic utilities and high-speed internet
- Transportation costs
How does Community Intel work?
Community Intel offers multiple features to help job seekers make informed job decisions and to help your association deliver greater member value:
- Integration with the job search page – Community Intel enables you to provide relevant, timely data to job seekers in one convenient location as they search for jobs, helping you keep them on your online job board.
- Auto-detection of job location – Your job search page can automatically determine each job-seeker’s location based on their IP address, making it easy for you to deliver a more personalized and intuitive job search experience.
- Trusted data – Location-based data is collected and updated regularly using reputable sources, including corporate websites and government-reporting institutions, allowing your association to provide trustworthy data to your members.
How Can Community Intel Help with Career Planning?
Today’s workforce faces many circumstances that can lead job seekers to consider a move to another city. For example, a candidate might:
- Be interested in relocating across the state or country
- Work for one of the many companies that require employees to return to the office
- Work for a company that is moving, and is considering a move to be closer to the office
In cases like these, Community Intel helps with career planning. It empowers candidates with specific data from a city, equipping them with the knowledge they need to make an informed decision about a job move.
