Use a Job Board to Revolutionize Your EDO's Branding and Marketing Strategy

Economic Development Organizations (EDOs) are constantly looking for ways to promote their brand and their region, with the goal of attracting new companies and employees and demonstrating value to the organizations that fund them.

How can you be expected to find the time, the money, and the inspiration to market your EDO and enhance your organization's brand in your community?

The solution is to focus on the one simple issue that gets everyone's attention: JOBS.
