Sales and the 'Talent Magnet'

A lot is written about being a ‘Talent Magnet’, either as a company, or as President. It’s all good practice – listen, mentor, reward, provide clear goals and career maps. Good practice for the employer, but what about the employee?

Cost-effective Solutions to Source Quality Candidates

No Comments

Struggling Economy. Weakening Labor Market. Increased Layoffs. All phrases Hiring Managers shudder to hear. As economic conditions continue to face turbulent times, companies are turning to more cost-effective solutions to source quality candidates. A daunting task for any business with reducing resources.

Yet despite all the gloom and doom brought on by the threat of a recession, there is one place Hiring Executives, Staffing Mangers and Recruiters alike, can go to find top talent on a tight budget. The solution is Job.com.

Job.com is a growing leader in the Online Recruitment space attracting over 5.5 million unique, career-minded visitors each month. Adding 1.76 million job seeking members and experiencing over a 50% increase in unique visitor traffic year to date over 2007, the career site now houses over 10 million registered job seekers and over 3.6 million active resumes. Job.com’s continued success has positioned itself as a top 200 Internet destination and has ranked as the fourth most visited career site for 26 consecutive months, according to comScore Media Metrix. Generating over 350,000 new members and over 150,000 new resume posts each month, Job.com is the perfect platform to advertise jobs, search resumes and place candidates.

However numbers alone cannot cure the common HR cutback. Job.com offers a full suite of products and services that help connect employers and recruiters with qualified candidates while reducing their cost per hire. From time saving tools and an easy-to-use interface, to a newly released network of niche career sites, Job.com’s hiring solutions provide the quantity and the quality making it the best recruiting value on the Internet.

By posting just one job ad on Job.com an employer’s job will instantly be introduced to an audience of millions found searching for jobs on over 12 different job sites. That one job ad will also be sent to the thousands of Job.com members who have opted in to receive weekly job alerts of jobs that match their profile via email.

And this is just the beginning. As the world of Online Recruiting evolves, employers and recruiters are shifting toward niche job boards to place more targeted ads. Through its network of over 65 industry, state and regionally specific career sites, Job.com’s employer and recruiter members have the advantage of promoting their openings nationally while additionally zeroing in on local candidates who specialize in the exact discipline of the position.

Job.com’s job posting platform not only provides employers and recruiters with a high degree of visibility, it also offers flexibility through the use of their reusable job slots. All of Job.com’s job posting members receive 24-7 account access to which they can log in to their account and edit, remove or replace their job postings at any time.

Employers and Recruiters can also track the performance of their job ads through the dynamic Job Dashboard Interface. This allows them to be resilient with their postings, giving them the opportunity to quickly and seamlessly make changes to any portion of the ad without any penalty to their account.

Although Job.com’s reusable job slots drive eagerly searching candidates to a company’s job openings, employers and recruiters can be proactive throughout their hiring process by searching for candidates in Job.com’s resume database.

When searching resumes, Job.com’s members may save their custom created searches and set up resume search agents to automatically run the searches they’ve saved and send matching resumes directly to their email on a daily or weekly basis. This feature not only prevents employers from having to sort through irrelevant resumes but also notifies them of each qualified candidate that passes through the portal as soon as they post their resume, keeping employers ahead of their competition.

It is critical for employers to take a two-prong approach when recruiting. Job.com offers combination job posting and nationwide resume search packages for less than $5 a day. By advertising jobs and searching Job.com’s resume database, employers and recruiters can target both active and passive job seekers in order to find and place candidates fast.

In addition to its reusable job posting slots and resume database of over 3.6 million active resumes, Job.com’s employers and recruiters have the ability to connect with a diverse and unique member base, exclusive to Job.com. According to comScore Media Metrix’s Cross Visiting report, Over 54% of Job.com’s unique visitor traffic did not visit CareerBuilder, Monster and Yahoo!HotJobs in the month of June, 2008 alone.

With an explosive amount of growth throughout the first half of the year and on track to deliver 70 million unique visitors for all of ’08, Job.com is the premier recruiting portal for any company size and pocketbook. The portal’s simple and affordable pricing structure is designed to cater to businesses small, medium and large regardless of their hiring needs. Basic job postings or resume searching only packages are available for just $199 and combination job posting and resume searching packages are based on a priority ranking structure where the more job postings an employer or recruiter purchases, the higher their jobs appear in Job.com’s search listings. Combination packages are in order as follows: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. All of Job.com’s membership packages can be purchased on an annual or monthly basis, without the hassle of contracts.

For over 10 years, the Job.com Team has been developing cost-effective solutions for the Online Recruitment Industry. ResumeZapper.com, Job.com’s flagship product, was designed to match quality candidates with quality recruiters. Job.com later launched EmailMyResume.com, created to expand a job seeker’s reach by connecting them with both employers and recruiters. By providing quality resume distribution at no cost to employers and recruiters, Job.com pioneered cost-effective recruiting and is committed to evolving its services to fit the Industry’s dynamic needs.

Although the current condition of the economy has put a strain on businesses across the US, the multi-billion dollar recruitment industry continues to climb and more businesses are relying on the Internet to find quality talent. Finding that quality talent shouldn’t be limited to large corporations with big budgets. It’s clear to see that Job.com’s suite of products and services offer tremendous value at rates affordable by all employers and recruiters. Whether you’re searching for 5 candidates or 125, Job.com lets you hire quality candidates for less!
