Introduction to Recruiting On the Internet
|
|
JOB-HUNT.ORG works for recruiters as well as for job hunters. Use Job-Hunt
to find the Web site where your next hire is looking for you!
Check out the Recruiting On the Internet section
of Job-Hunt for Web sites and training in the skills of on-line recruiting.
And, contact Job-Hunt for our Recruiting
On the InternetTM (ROI) training.
Make Job-Hunt.Org a Bookmark or Favorite (just hit the "d"
key while holding down the "Control" key on your PC), and then
come back because JOB-HUNT.ORG is frequently updated, and the perfect
employment site for your needs may be here the next time you visit,
if it is not included in our listings now.
Picking Employment Sites
Which Sites Will Work for You?
It's an old fisherman's saying that you need to "fish where the fish are"
in order to catch them. The same holds true when you are looking for job
applicants.
Job-Hunt.Org can be a big help to recruiters. There are literally thousands
of Web employment sites. Where should you post your jobs? Job-Hunt has,
so far, 14 categories of On-Line Job Listings. They are your best
place to start. For example:
- Job Sites by
Location - if Job-Hunt is a good measure of job seeker interest
(and, of course, we think that it is), job seekers prefer the
job sites with a geographic focus -- the States
of the United States category and the countries and regions of the International
category. Pick the country or state, and explore until you find an appropriate
local resource for your postings.
- Employment Super Sites - these
get the most attention, usually because they pay for the visibility
in all kinds of media (one has a blimp!). They have hundreds of thousands
of jobs posted, and those postings draw hundreds of thousands of applicants
from across the world in a variety of industries and professions. You
should probably be posting your job openings on at least one of the
Super Sites.
- Specialty Employment Sites - choose these carefully depending
on which site is probably going to draw the most job applicants you
want, using Job-Hunt's category listings.

Evaluation Criteria
- Look at the job site from an applicant's point of view. Search
for a job there, and try posting a resume yourself.
- How easy, or how hard, is it for an applicant to find the job
they want?
- How easy, or how hard, is it for the applicant to apply for a
job once they find one they like?
- Does it have a Job Agent (see above)?
- Does it protect the applicant's privacy?
- If you were an applicant, would you use this site?
- How much traffic does the site get? Is it the right traffic for
your needs? Ask the sites you are considering for their demographic,
and compare the data to your requirements.
- What percentage of the traffic to that site (job seekers) is relevant
to the jobs you are posting? If it's a marketing site, you would
not expect much response to your engineering or IT postings.
- What percentage of the resumes, if there is a resume database,
at the site are relevant to the jobs you are posting? Again, if
there is a high percentage of marketing resumes, you searches for
engineering and IT resumes probably won't be as productive as they
could be at another site with a high percentage of engineering and
IT resumes.
- Can you edit existing job postings or replace filled opportunities
within your allotted time frame? Applicants hate out-of-date
postings, and the best sites want the applicants to be happy, so they
let you change your postings -- even if it's to post a completely new
job.
- Access convenience? Access control can make your life easy
or miserable, particularly in a small HR department. Can you log into
the site from anywhere or just from a specific computer at the office?
How many people can access your account to add/change/delete postings?
- Do they allow HTML code in the job postings? Usually, that
is good news because job listings will be more interesting with HTML.
However, it's a two-edged sword. HTML tags enable you to add interest
to your postings, and, if they are allowed but you don't know how to
use them, your postings can disappear into the woodwork.HTML can be
very complex, but a few "appearance" tags (like bold, italics,
and page breaks) are not rocket science. (See Basic
HTML for resumes fo some simple tags.) Just don't underline anything
-- people assume that anything underlined is a link to something, and
they get confused and frustrated when they can't make the link work.
