Demographics: Our site subscribers are typically mobile wireless professionals who aren't actively seeking a new position (aka passive / qualified, already employed candidates) that wish to receive labor news, interviews and new opportunities in our industry.

In most cases, our site visitors send confidential email inquiries and/or CVs, resumes to our clients when a new position is posted to this blog. Accordingly, Candidates do not post their credentials to our site.

Mobile Content / Wireless Employers: One way you can offer extra exposure on the benefits and opportunities of your company is to be interviewed in our monthly HR Q&A eNewsletter, MobileContent Careers. Here is your opportunity to give some insight on what your prospective candidate can expect when working at your company from day one.

Our Q&A is sent to you via email (MS Word) that takes very little time to complete. You have the option of discussing any of our 7 primary HR topics: Retention, Relocation, Safety, Compliance, Training, Staffing/Recruiting, and Compensation as they may pertain to your company. Mix and match topics.

Accordingly, we (MobileWirelessJobs / MobileContentJobs) have already prepared questions based on the 7 HR topics. Pick those questions you wish to talk about or feel free to create your own questions and answers.

There will be no possibility of being misquoted and you may also run these questions/responses by your PR or Corporate Communications Dept for approval if necessary.

In order to participate, you must follow these requirements:

1) Mobile Content / Wireless Employer - Your company must be related to the Mobile Content and Wireless industries. All other industries will not be accepted.

2) Open Positions - Your company must be actively seeking qualified Mobile Content / Wireless Candidates (either passive or aggressive) for open positions and be willing to list at least some of these opportunities on MobileWirelessJobs.com / MobileContentJobs.com. We encourage new employers to participate in this effort for MobileWirelessJobs.com / MobileContentJobs.com.

Sample Interview:

MobileWirelessJobs: What techniques does your company use to retain employees?

Employer: First and foremost we've created a culture that is a good fit for star performers who enjoy collaborating with others. We focus on hiring employees who are a strong fit for the company and will support and enhance the culture we want to maintain. We are a venture-backed, pre-IPO startup, positioned as a technical leader in an emerging, high-growth market space, so the business and technical opportunity for employees is fantastic. We conduct annual employee surveys to see how we're collectively doing in the areas that are most important to us, and our people initiatives are developed based on the survey results. Some of the programs we've implemented include rewards & recognition and training & development. We have fantastic parties every quarter, a great work environment, and lots of nice little perks.

MobileWirelessJobs: Has retaining employees ever hurt the company in terms of hiring newer, more qualified employees?

Employer: We only hire the very best in the first place, and we communicate openly about performance, so we haven't had a problem with this yet.

MobileWirelessJobs: To what degree do you track employee satisfaction? How are you tracking it?

Employer: We're a small company of only 80 employees with a culture of open communication, and a strong open-door policy, so on a day-to-day basis, we have a pretty good idea of how people are doing. We also conduct an extensive, confidential employee survey on an annual basis to identify and address any issues that may not be readily apparent, and to develop new initiatives for improvement.

MobileWirelessJobs: What exercises outside the office are used to improve employee morale? (e.g. softball, company picnics, etc.)

Employer: We have a great holiday party every year for employees and their significant others, and an annual summer picnic for families. During the other two quarters of the year, we have incredibly fun, all-company outings. We've done things like go-kart racing, The Go Game, and geo-caching. We have a company softball team that was nearly undefeated the past two seasons. Our rewards and recognition program includes team rewards and outings to celebrate team accomplishments.

MobileWirelessJobs: What percentage of employees have you retained? What is your turn-over ratio?

Employer: We've retained over 80% of the people we've hired over the past 4 years. Voluntary turnover is about 10%.
