SilverCensus Inc., a senior living, health services and national placement directory, and Stamford-based GoliathJobs, parent company of JobsOver50.com, have merged to form SilverCensus.com, an online resource for senior living and health care.

“This merger will integrate the valuable 50-plus health services offered to SilverCensus users with the niche employment services offered to baby boomers, retirees and employers via JobsOver50.com,” said David Mezzapelle, director of marketing and development at GoliathJobs. Combining resources will enhance the services of both businesses and complement their missions, he said.

SilverCensus helps consumers educate themselves on health-care options, facilities and rights. The service, free for consumers and caregivers, assists those who need to conduct research for friends, patients or family members.

Paying clients, including national nursing home corporations, rehabilitation facilities, home health-care agencies, independent living communities and assisted living facilities, are offered a profile geared to generate their links at the top of Internet searches and a place in SilverCensus’s video directory.

“Adding employment to the site will allow healthy active seniors to search for jobs. Health-care organizations can now post their open positions for no additional charge in order to target candidates on GoliathJobs or JobsOver50,” said Jessica Adams, director at SilverCensus.

GoliathJobs was founded in 2006 with Mezzapelle playing a key role in studying generational trends and demographics.

The partnership will take advantage of Adams’ success in uncovering emerging markets and concepts, according to Mezzapelle, who said she has made Silver Census a leading online health service directory. “Adams has an impressive track record in the coordination of home health-care services with a proven skill set to communicate appropriate options with clients and their loved ones,” he said.

Mezzapelle and Adams will be the marketing and development team leaders. The company has divided responsibilities on a regional basis between its two headquarters in Stamford and Jupiter, Fla.

“We are hiring regional marketing managers nationally,” Mezzapelle said, adding that the Florida office has five employees plus interns and plans to expand. “We’re planning to go international in 2010. Europe, South America and Central America are having the same growth rate in the 50-and-over category as the US.”

Mergers of online companies are occurring with more frequency as the country rebounds from the recession, said Mark Pruner, president of Web Counsel LLC, an interactive marketing company in Stamford. “Consolidation is going on in the industry. You see it in tough economic times. It’s a way to acquire good technology and expand market jobs,” he said.

I read a great article written by Jonelle Marte for The Wall Street Journal. This article, titled “An Internship From Your Couch,” discusses the increasing popularity of virtual internships.

At GoliathJobs, we work closely with career service centers and employers nationally in order to assist in their ongoing missions. On a daily basis we see that virtual internships are becoming very popular. For years colleges requried interns to actually work at an employer’s location. Now they are starting to see that it is not always necessary and, in fact, this opens up the door for more opportunities for their students.

GoliathJobs itself is even practicing this around the country. We employ many interns for various purposes and we can easily measure their performance whether they work virtually or in one of our offices.

In the early 90s my previous company, Goliath Technology, was practicing “virtual internships” with marketing students. Their function was to connect with local businesses and corporations in the towns surrounding their campus. The purpose was to create awareness of Goliath Technology as their #1 choice for IT procurement (technology-related computer equipment, software, licensing, network infrastructure, etc). Glad to see we were ahead of our time.

Below please find a great article that appeared in BusinessWeek. As you will read, the ability to source the optimum multicultural workforce is difficult - even in this troubling employment market. At GoliathJobs & JobsOver50 we see this as an opportunity for a strong HR staff to prevail and push their company in front of their global competition.

The War for talent never ends. Middle manager in China? Good luck finding them, let alone keeping them. Assembly line workers in Central Europe? They’re well-educated and hard-working: Trouble is every company wants them. The cubicle warriors of Bangalore? They get the job done- if they stick around. For corporations, managing this widely scattered, talented, restive, multicultural workforce has never been harder.

This Special Report, that coincided with the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, brings readers to the front lines of the struggle. It delves into IBM’s effort to reinvent the way it gets tasks done around the world, follows a Nokia manager as he recruits a workforce from scratch in Transylvania, meets a restless generation of IT workers in India, and hears from the corporate road warriors who never, ever stop traveling.

These and other stories make a simple but powerful: The old way of managing across boarders is fading fast. In the first half of the 20th century, the globalization of business was based on British colonial model. Headquarters, functions, and capital were in one place, with managers dispatched to run regional operations like colonies. In the second half of the 1900s, companies adopted the multinational model, replicating their home country operations in other places where they did business. Country units rarely dealt with other divisions in other markets.

Today, global corporations are transforming themselves into “transnational,” moving work to the places with the talent to handle the job and the tome to do it at the right cost. The threat of a U.S. recession only makes such efforts at lowering expenses and grabbing the best talent even more urgent. William J. Amelio, the CEO of Lenovo, the world’s third-largest computer maker, calls his global workforce strategy “world-sourcing.” Lenovo had executive offices in five cities worldwide and organizes its workforce around hubs of expertise, such as hardware designers in Japan and marketers in Indian. “You operate as if there’s just one time zone,” Amelio says. “And you’re always on.”

If anything, companies are devising new strategies to reach global scales faster. To retain workers in Chine, for example, PepsiCo’s snacks unit funneled nearly 300 extra people into its talent assessment program last year and promoted three times as many mangers as it did in 2006. In mid-2007 storage equipment maker EMC started a global innovation network for research and development workers at six labs around the globe. EMC set up a wiki Web site for scientist and engineers to develop technologies and product concepts together.

Moving people across borders and ensuring that workers’ visas and permits are compliant with local immigrations rules are also vital to the tasks of globalization. Deloitte principal Robin I. Lissak has a client, a CEO of a large multinational, who was told he could quintuple his business in Dubai if he quickly moved 2,000 workers there from India. But like half of the companies in Deloitte’s 2007 Global Mobility Survey, the CEO simply wasn’t up to do it, “You’re not just moving people from the U.S. to the rest of the world anymore,” says Lissak. “You’re spending people from all continents to all continents.” The companies that play this global, mobile game best will emerge the winners.
