Shaker Presents Clients with Emerging Recruitment Solutions 

CHICAGO, IL – Shaker Recruitment Advertising & Communications announces they now provide text  messaging solutions as a means to reach targeted job candidates with recruitment messages.  This rapidly growing communications medium is a hot new outlet for organizations to extend their recruitment messages to potential candidates by placing their messages directly into the palms of their target  audience. 

Personal, instantaneous and accountable, Shaker’s text messaging service is a means of initiating and  maintaining a line of communication with prospective candidates as well as current employees.  

Text messaging over mobile phones and personal data assistants (PDA's) is quickly becoming a  preferred form of quick, brief communications for many – of all ages. 

“From text alerts being sent to specific individuals to email being retrofitted for spontaneous response  through instant messaging, text messaging offers our clients a valuable opportunity to reach prospective job applicants wherever they may be and any time of day,” said Mike Temkin, Vice President of Strategic Planning and Development.   

“More people from all of walks of life have cell phones than have computers. And they have their phones with them more hours of the day than they have access to computers. As important as computers have  been for digital, internet-related communications, the multi-purpose cell phone will become more prevalent.”  

According to both the Mobile Marketing Association and Pew Internet & American Life Project Surveys, 40% of U.S. mobile phone users utilize text messaging, and the number is growing with more "smart" mobile phone products coming to market at lower, more affordable prices. In June, 2007, more than 10  billion text messages were sent and received in the U.S.”
