SHOCKTOBERFEST
Peppershock is FIVE years old! To commemorate we’re hosting an open house we’ve dubbed “ShocktOberfest.” Come and celebrate with us, on Thursday, October 30th, 2008. The festivities start at 4:00 pm and end around 8:00 pm. Be prepared for a frightful evening full of trick-or-treats and Boo-ze and eats. This event will be an open house held at the ever so terrifying Peppershock office on 122 N. Yale Street, Nampa. The adult only party will include prizes for best costume. You could be the lucky winner of an .mp3 player or Peppershock gift certificate!
THE HAGERMAN PROJECT:
An upcoming project for the Peppershock crew is the filming of a documentary for television on the Hagerman Fossil Beds. The story of Idaho’s prehistoric past will be explored with the help of Geologist Bob Lorkowski with production scheduled to begin this month. The documentary will also discuss the Hagerman Horse and the wide variety of other species found in the area.

YOUR BEST RECRUITING TOOL
In order for any business to succeed it is important to have quality employees and the recruiting of new employees can be a difficult task. An upbeat and interesting recruitment video will help your business create new hype and motivation for your current and future employees. The industry is moving away from the traditional ideas for recruitment videos and moving towards something that is fresh and entertaining. Liz Claiborne Inc created a new recruitment video to fill a variety of positions across many stores throughout the U.S. The video has received about 16,000 hits between their web site and Yahoo Hot Jobs. The idea for a new recruitment video is to show the business in the best light, its exciting aspects, and even the opportunities available for employees. A new video would create excitement amongst potential employees…making your business an exciting place to work for.
