Author International Intellectual Property recruiters, Fellows and Associates, head to Toronto for the 44th AIPPI World Intellectual Property Congress
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) August 22, 2014
The World Intellectual Property Congress, now in its 44th year, is hosted by the non-profit International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI) and boasts nearly 9000 members from over 100 different countries. Founded in 1897 it is the oldest association in the Intellectual Property sector and aims to help improve and promote the protection of Intellectual Property on a national and international scale.
The Fellows and Associates team will be making the trip across the North Atlantic next month to rub shoulders with fellow AIPPI members; including lawyers, patent and trade mark attorneys, judges, scientists and engineers, as well as professionals from large multinational corporations. “This will be my second year at the AIPPI World Intellectual Property Congress and I am very much looking forward to it” enthuses consultant Phillipa Field. “I had the pleasure of attending in Seoul in 2012 not long after I had joined Fellows and Associates and found it an invaluable introduction into the Intellectual Property sector”.
The congress is an opportunity for Intellectual Property professionals to build and refresh their knowledge of international IP practices and developments, as well as meeting with fellow industry professionals from across the world in relaxed and informal surroundings. “Our main focus at these events is to network and build upon our database of contacts in the IP field, however we also see it as a fantastic opportunity to further educate ourselves on the industry in which we work” explains Director Pete Fellows. “Fellows and Associates are Intellectual Property specialists in as much as we only focus on roles operating within this sector. The more we know about the industry, the more detailed and effective a service we can offer our clients and candidates.”
The company invest a huge amount in ensuring that they maintain their reputation as a leader in Intellectual Property recruitment, both in terms of knowledge and level of service. As well as attending networking events and conferences the team place significant effort in the upkeep and content of their website. “Our aim is to have a variety of content available that our visitors can digest, rather than it simply serving as an on line job board. We produce our own videos, write and commission articles of interest, as well as providing up to date and detailed job postings.”
The Fellows and Associates attendees, Pete Fellows and Phillipa Field, are currently in the final stages of organising their schedules for the trip to Canada. They plan to meet a number of IP professionals from varying countries across the world specialising in different areas of the industry, in particular IP service providers, in-house counsel and US IP lawyers. “We are currently researching the US Intellectual Property market as we think it is an area to which we can lend our recruitment expertise” Pete Fellows explains. “We already have an established network of US IP professionals, which we are looking to grow further, and believe our international perspective may be able to help in offering an alternative solution to their normal suppliers.”
It seems that the Fellows and Associates team have had a lot to look forward to over recent months, with the celebration of their fifth anniversary in August and Pete and Phillipa’s trip to the AIPPI Congress in Toronto in September. “2014 has been a fantastic year so far” comments Phillipa Field. “We have been extremely busy working with existing clients, as well as seeing a promising uptake in instructions in new avenues of IP recruitment. We have arranged for a special celebration to mark our fifth anniversary, of which further details will be available on our website very soon, and have already returned from one successful business trip at the INTA Annual Meeting in Hong Kong before preparing for Toronto next month.”

Work4 Releases First Social Job Sharing Solution That Empowers Recruiters with Full Automation, Customization, and Control
San Francisco (PRWEB) June 11, 2013
Today, Work4, the #1 Facebook Recruiting Solution, announces the release of its brand-new recruiter productivity solution, Social Job Sharing Recruiter. This powerful solution, which has already been adopted with great success by many of Work4’s Fortune 500 clients, empowers talent acquisition professionals to automatically share jobs across social networks, scale and promote specific hiring initiatives, engage a talent community, and spread a branded recruiting message, while putting control–and time–back into the recruiter’s hands.
With nearly all recruiters now using one or more social networks to find and engage talent, it becomes ever more imperative for employers to find cost-efficient and effective methods for streamlining the process of sharing jobs through social media. This is now mission critical, with 89% of today’s candidates active on social networks, and 81% of job seekers on Facebook expecting companies and brands to post job opportunities there.
Work4 takes efficiency and optimization of social job distribution to the next level by giving recruiters the ability to “set it and forget it,” while retaining complete control over the jobs and messaging shared with friends, followers, and connections through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
“Our main goal is to facilitate a better connection between recruiters and candidates while saving employers time and resources,” said Work4 CEO Stéphane Le Viet. “By putting powerful automation tools for broadcasting jobs over social networks in recruiters’ hands and then streamlining how they control and customize messages and sharing, we’re able to help companies reach more of the right people with the right jobs in less time and with fewer wasted resources.”
On the macro level, Social Job Sharing Recruiter represents an HR management tool that can give employers global visibility into recruiters’ sharing activities, as well as insight into the performance of individual recruiters’ sharing campaigns and social media channels. On the micro level, this solution gives organizations’ individual recruiters control over the jobs they “own,” from scheduling specific jobs to customizing the messaging and choosing the frequency of posts on each social network.
Already, Work4’s premier clients, including many global Fortune 500 organizations, have seen tremendous success: the solution has already driven an average of 34% of job views and 30% of apply clicks on 10 beta customers’ Facebook Career Sites.
“Although our adventure with Work4 is a relatively young one, we couldn’t be happier with the services so far,” said National Bank of Canada’s Eric Belair, Senior Consultant Talent Attraction and Diversity. “Work4 enables us to easily and automatically distribute and share our various career opportunities across our selected social media platforms. This tool allows us to save time while reaching precisely the right candidates…Work4 has quickly become a key tool in our recruitment strategies.”
Social Job Sharing Recruiter is a revolutionary social recruiting tool because it provides recruiters with a single, easy-to-use platform for managing their job distribution across social networks, while eliminating the factors that often limit successful implementation of a social recruiting strategy, such as time, ease of adoption, or incompatibility with existing technology.
This solution integrates with existing talent management systems, so recruiters can continue using familiar tools without having to invest in or train on new technology. Jobs imported from an applicant tracking system are pushed to the chosen social networks with natural language and rotating text; however, recruiters have the ability to create custom, branded calls to action, which makes Social Job Sharing Recruiter a great tool for strengthening employer branding. Increased brand awareness, in turn, can help bring in more potential candidates, which has the potential to increase the number of completed job applications and speed the hiring process.
Social Job Sharing Recruiter can also be embedded in a corporate career site while working in tandem with other Work4 offerings, in order to bring candidates back to a custom branded Facebook Career Site and help recruiters monitor progress and campaign effectiveness with analytics.
Said Le Viet, “From simplifying the recruiter’s process to expanding the reach of job shares, to increasing job views and brand awareness, Social Job Sharing Recruiter promises to help recruiters tap into the power of social networks to better connect with the right candidates.”
