February 2008 Index Highlights : Index rises five points, ending three-month downward trend, but is now seven percent below its year-ago reading, indicating further deceleration in U.S. online recruitment …
Corra has noticed that Ladders runs an interesting commercial, advertising it’s online job recruitment service. It starts out with two Pro tennis players on court, but before long everyone and his mother is trying to play on the same court. Result–total confusion.
The commercial drives a good point home about online job recruitment. It’s chaotic, confusions, and far too many applications and resumes are either lost in the shuffle or outright ignored. Who can blame the recruiters? The load is overwhelming. Who could sift through all of those jobs?
So it is small wonder with most online sites that business may be on the decline. Some of these online job sites are little more than platforms for HR related and employment related advertising. Others my offer advertisements for consumer goods and services.
If you are recruiting your employment candidates through a staffing agency, a headhunter service, if you will, then once you find a prospect how do you filter further? Interviews for one thing, and possibly psychological testing. Then, of course, it is always wide to conduct background checks. Run a criminal report and for mid-to higher level candidates, run an education verification as well as a Social Security Trace.
These background searches may help simplify and increasing complex process.
Check them out before you hire.
