JobDig Expands Into Indianapolis

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Indianapolis, IN – On August 4, 2008, JobDig will publish and distribute a free weekly jobs newspaper throughout the greater Indianapolis area. JobDig delivers weekly job opportunities through print, radio, television and online channels to help job seekers connect with local employers. JobDig serves 16 markets in 15 states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, Utah, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Tennessee and now Indiana.

JobDig’s Central Indiana edition will provide local job listings and award winning career content, written by industry experts on topics such as resume writing, interviewing, networking, and career coaching. The paper will be distributed at 1,800 high-traffic locations between Kokomo and Bloomington and just East of Henderson, IN. JobDig will print 42,000 papers per week with an estimated readership of 82,000 people per week.

In addition to the local print publication, JobDig has partnered with Indianapolis radio and TV stations to help employers reach passive job seekers as well as brand their businesses at a low cost.  JobDig’s radio partnership is with Emmis Marketing Group, which includes stations: Indy’s News Center 93.1 FM, 97.1 Hank FM, B105.7, and 1070 the Fan.  The TV partnership is with Comcast, which will provide hiring managers with exposure on AMC, FX, TLC, and TNT. 

Action Staffing, one of JobDig’s satisfied Des Moines, IA customers states, “JobDig has been a huge asset towards helping our company stay on the cutting edge of recruiting. I believe that because it is a free publication, it reaches far more people than we could with a publication that requires a subscription. Also the service that we have received has been impeccable and every week I have a sense that they are there to partner with us in helping us meet our staffing needs.” JobDig is excited to extend its services to hiring managers in Central Indiana!

Canaries Feature JobDig on Game Day!

Friday, July 18th, 2008

In preparation of our upcoming Job Fair with the Sioux Falls Canaries, JobDig was featured at the Canaries’ home game on Sunday July 13, 2008. We set up a booth and passed out papers at the front gates as the fans entered the ball park. Our JobDig mascot stood at the front entrance high-fiving and taking pictures with the families in attendance. The stadium announcers introduced JobDig and the upcoming Job Fair over the intercom as the crowd settled in for the game. Frequently throughout the game, our JobDig logo was displayed on the big screen. The day was a huge success and many lucky winners left the game with fun JobDig prizes! Stay tuned for more information regarding the JobDig-Canaries Job Fair on August 14, 2008 from 10AM-3:30PM.
