Bernard Hodes Group is a global marketing communications company that provides multiple products and services for recruiters and employers. They span the range of communications services from developing a recruitment strategy, to marketing company and jobs and even providing the technology to manage inbound candidates through its SaaS ATS it brands HodesiQ.
The company calls this its “360 Degree Methodology” and with the range of products and services it offers, this is no mere boast.
Want to promote your corporate brand to potential candidates? There’s a service for that, of course, complete with the HodesQTrac survey that takes the measure of your company’s image among your own employees.
Looking to recruit college students and build a diverse workforce? Talk to Hodes about its campus and diversity recruiting programs. It has developed diversity programs for the FBI and CitiBank and campus outreach for the likes of newcomer Citrix that created a buzz on the campuses it targeted and won an EMA Merit for College Recruitment Communications Giveaways.
Need to manage the rush of candidates that the Hodes advertising and communications generate? Call HodesiQ about its web-based talent and hiring management system. Or you can just turn the whole thing over to Hodes’ RPO group.
The range of services is nothing short of astonishing. Besides all the services you can imagine, some, like its “Mystery Shopping” service that analyzes the quality of employer-candidate contact, are almost unimaginable. So we make no pretense here of trying to list them all.
What began as a modest, three-person help-wanted ad agency founded in New York City in 1970 by Bernard S. Hodes, is today one of the largest recruitment-focused agencies in the world. Owned by media conglomerate Omnicon, Hodes has 80 offices in Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia. Its blue chip client list reads like the Fortune 500. Its specialty divisions are staffed with experienced professionals who know the industry; its healthcare recruiting division, created in 1995 is staffed by nurses.
