FIU Alumni Association teams with CareerCampaigns, LLC to help alumni find jobs


MIAMI – In response to the rising unemployment rate, the Florida International University Alumni Association and CareerCampaigns, LLC have teamed up to help FIU alumni find jobs.
Sarasota-based CareerCampaigns assists talented, qualified professionals in winning new, promising and challenging positions throughout Florida through a blend of specialized recruiting expertise, technology and customer support.

“We believe the innovative service that CareerCampaigns provides will be a great asset to our alumni,” said Duane Wiles, Associate Executive Director of the Office of Alumni Relations. “In today’s challenging employment environment, we are pleased to be able to offer our alumni an even greater opportunity to get their name and professional credentials in front of local employers looking for the very best job candidates.”
The service is free to all FIU alumni and a portion of the fees CareerCampaigns collects from employers after a successful placement will be donated to the FIU Alumni Association.
CareerCampaigns’ online Talent Center is based on a new model for delivering qualified, experienced candidates directly to employers from its pool of job seekers. CareerCampaigns has been successful in finding and screening candidates for accounting, engineering, healthcare, finance, IT, legal, sales and marketing, HR, and many other types of positions in a wide range of industries and professions.

An important aspect of the service for employers is CareerCampaigns’ ability to provide them with a detailed profile for each candidate, which includes a business portrait, a recorded 30 second audio commercial and a leadership profile, in addition to their resume.
“This is an incredible advantage for employers,” said Dan Nelson, CareerCampaigns’ CEO. “This gives employers a good sense of a candidate’s aptitude, qualifications and possible fit within the company. Our goal is to help employers spend their time interviewing and hiring qualified candidates instead of trying to find them.”
The FIU Alumni Association is open to forming meaningful partnerships with on and off campus organizations that will help develop, implement, and execute a successful lifelong alumni career program.
