Printing Industries of America (PIA) has unveiled its newest product, the talent acquisition program Open House Recruiting. Powered by technology partner JobOn, Open House Recruiting is a hiring solution that marries the modern virtual recruiting strategies of today with a traditional face-to-face open house. Access to Open House Recruiting is an exclusive benefit to Printing Industries of America members.

“One of the biggest challenges facing the printing industry today is finding new talent to replenish its rapidly aging workforce,” says Julie Shaffer, vice president of education and marketing strategies with Printing Industries of America. “Our aim is to provide PIA members with an affordable, cutting-edge solution that will help them attract a new generation of workers to the print community.”

The Open House Recruiting program is a complete turnkey solution that sources viable candidates and delivers them to a company’s door. The program comes with the Open House Hosting kit that includes suggested activities, interview questions, sample itineraries and digital signage templates. A customized employment posting is disseminated through digital channels for maximum exposure.

Interested applicants complete an online video questionnaire. From their responses, a recruiter vets potential candidates for the hiring company. Select candidates receive an invitation to an in-person open house at the printer’s facility. The hosting company can conduct private interviews with promising candidates during or after the open house.

With an eye on affordability, Open House Recruiting is available in three pricing models. These include one-time access to the service or one of two tiered subscription plans, for those companies that regularly recruit new staff.
