In this second article in the series we take a look at
recruitment utilising jobsites, A quick search on Google
for the word "jobsite" instantly gives you 451000 search
results, so where do you begin? Like so many things word of
mouth can seem a good place to start, unfortunately
everyone involved in recruiting staff has a favourite
jobsite and they unlikely to tell you that the one they are
currently paying for does not give value for money as it
would make them look a fool for having chosen to buy the
jobsites services in the first place.
Before beginning your search there are a few basic
questions to ask yourself and to make this process easier
to explain I am going to use an example. I am seeking to
hire a sales manager for a bank, so I now go to Google and
search for banking sales jobs to see which sites such a
jobseeker would come across first, the site currently
holding the number one spot is .
Great so I have now found the best site to use it must get
the largest number of candidates visiting it; well perhaps
we should investigate the site further to see how it is
going to help us find that top flight sales manager for our
bank. First I do a search on the site for sales manager
banking in the UK and get 104 vacancies in the results,
although not one is for a major retail bank, this might
just put off my candidate, but before we give up we will
delve a little further. Now we look for the page of
services for recruiters, The information for recruiters
page gives me some information on the services available
and yet gives me no information on prices, all I am offered
is contact forms, a phone umber in the USA and some
testimonials that are anonymous, there is no demographic
information as to how many visitors the site receives or
any evidence that supports how effective the site is.
I now go to the post a job page and find I am offered the
option of paying online and that a single advert for the UK
market will cost me a staggering $985 which even with the
historic high of sterling against the dollar is very
expensive and I have been given no evidence as to what kind
of result I should expect for my money. Ask for a free
trial as well as some evidence of the likelihood of success
in filling your sales job before using this site or any
other site that gives so little information or evidence up
front,
In the next article in the series we take a look at a
jobsite that has been designed to maximise the utility of
both sales jobseekers and sales recruiters and to offer
excellent value for money,
