(3/11/2011) - The Charles Schwab Hiring Event featured the theme of " We're ready to invest in your future" and presented a list of open technical professional jobs. These positions are open to candidates for long term employment rather than short-term contract to hire, according to Andrew Bercich, Talent Acquisition Recruiter from Charles Schwab.

According to the email:

Schwab will be recruiting for entry to senior level IT professionals, including developers, software engineers, quality engineers, IT managers and project managers. A variety of skills sets are desired, including mainframe development, JAVA, Microsoft, MS Exchange Server, security, UNIX, Linux, C#, .Net, SQL and Informatica ETL.

A full list of the job names and job numbers was given to attendees. The details can be accessed from www.connectingcolorado.com by job number or the Charles Schwab website by job title.

The Arapahoe/Douglas Works presented the hiring event with an added social networking twist by using a targeted email invitation campaign, an on-line pre- registration process and a return notification which included a free Parking Pass. Hurray! No more walk-in, paper and pen pre-registration process using a clip board. Registration is now electronic for the most part. However, I did see the paper and clip-board used for check-in. Oh well, I guess the process can never go completely paper-less.

Overall, the event was well planned and executed.

It was a complete success on many fronts. At the end of the event a follow-up email was sent asking members to respond to a survey and invited them to join the ADW Connections group for professional networking, job search tips and more!
