Mr. Hank Fichtner, Flashvue President & Founder
Hank Fichtner created his first video resume and realized his entrepreneurial talents while still a student at Lafayette College. Opening for business from his dormitory room, he offered web-based video profiles to fellow students. These home-made videos quickly became so popular that he concluded that his next step should be to refine the concept further and make it available to a broader market. In 2004, with the strong backing and shared vision of Hal Kamine, Mr. Fichtner founded Flashvue to perfect his idea and bring its benefits to the recruiting industry.

Welcome and continental breakfast to begin promptly at 9:30 AM. No cost to attend this meeting.

Third Party Recruiting

Since employers increasingly use third party recruiters and have diminished their internal career ladders, co-op/intern professionals and career counselors need to be aware of these practices so as to better advise students looking for employment.

• What policies should be created when deciding to work with third party recruiters?
• What are some guidelines for temp agencies or search firms that want access to your students?
• What are the ethics of a co-op/intern professional or career counselor turning a candidate over to another party?
• When a temp agency says the position is temp to perm, how can one tell it it’s true?

These are only some of the questions to be addressed at the March NJCEIA meeting.

Speaker: Barrie Peterson, M. Div.
Director of the Institute on Work

Barrie Peterson has been a career counselor for 15 years. He wrote the “Job Hunting” column across the top of the Bergen Record Business page in the mid-90’s and co-founded the Institute on Work at Seton Hall University in 1997. A nationally-recognized expert on workplace ethics and the growth of various forms of contingent work, he publishes the “Consumer Guide to “Best Practices” Temp Agencies” listing 42 participating NJ agencies and 250 reports on other agencies. He has been quoted in the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Star-Ledger, Asbury Park Press, Herald-News, Business Week and Trenton Times and recently was a panelist on NJ Public TV’s four part series on job search for “New Jersey Works”.
