The internet has changed the way we do so many things, and job search is just one of the things that the internet has changed.
Think about it... Almost every home has a computer today with internet access, and the majority of people know how to use a computer. It doesn't matter if you are a cleaner, operative, driver, sales person, receptionist, manager or an accountant. Everyone looks online for jobs!
Advertising jobs online can be expensive, some sites charge £500 for a job posting. With so many job boards available, an effective online recruitment strategy will ensure that the job is posted on a selection of job boards, to ensure that the right audience and number of quality applicants apply.
The great thing about the internet is that your jobs are advertised 24/7, this gives you great online exposure and maximises the opportunity of finding people for even the most speciailised positions.
You can also search online CV databases to search for your ideal candidate. Today thousands of job seekers up their CV to job websites. This is a primary tool that recruitment agencies use to source candidates for their Clients.
Online recruitment is the future for sure, a recent survey from personnel today showed that most companies are preferring web based recruitment over traditional recruitment methods.
So if the future of recruitment is online, how are you going to benefit from this?
You can go it alone, learn the ropes of key word optimisations, how to get your job ranked highly, how to effectively search online CV databases, what job boards work for what type of jobs etc.
Or you can engage the services of an expert online recruitment company, but be careful when selecting a company if you decide to go this route. Think about what is important to your company and what relationship you want with your online recruitment company.
Do you want brand awareness in your jobs?
Do you want freedom to contact clients?
Do you want a fixed cost?
Do you want to work with open book recruitment systems?
Think about what is important to you and your company, and weigh up your options.
