When you have to hire for more than five jobs, it gets hard to keep track of everything on many job websites. You have to put up job posts, update them, take them down, and answer people who apply for jobs. It's good if you have a system to keep track of applicants that works with job websites.
But sometimes, you can't connect this system to many job websites. Also, not every small company can pay for a fancy system to track applicants.
There are ways to help you do your job better, find more people for jobs, and not spend so much time on paperwork:
- Job Ad Platforms: These help you put your job ads on many websites and pick the best ones based on cost and how good the applicants are. Even if you can't connect these platforms to your tracking system, you can still keep all your information in one spot. Some examples are Appcast and PandoLogic.
- Special Job Websites: Some websites focus on certain jobs, like tech or healthcare. They can also show your job ad on websites that are similar. Some examples are Dice for tech jobs and Medzilla for healthcare jobs.
- Social Media: Websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter can also help share your job ads. They can reach a lot of people, either for free or by paying a little. Some services let you send your job ad to many social media sites at once, like Sendible.
Choosing the best job board or platform to post on is important. Here's how to pick the right one:
- Know Your Audience: Different job boards are better for different types of jobs. For tech jobs, you might use Dice. For healthcare jobs, you might use Medzilla. Pick a job board that matches the kind of job you're offering.
- Check the Cost: Some job boards are free, and others cost money. Make sure the cost fits your budget and is worth it for the kind of people you want to hire.
- Look at How Many People Use It: A job board with lots of people using it might be a good choice. More people mean more chances to find the right person for the job.
- Ask for Recommendations: Sometimes, other people in your field can suggest good job boards they've used before.
- Try a Few Options: Sometimes, you need to try a few job boards to see which one works best for you. You might find one that's really good for the kind of jobs you're offering.
Picking the right job board or platform can help you find the best people for your jobs without spending too much time or money. Therefore I do recommend to use job aggregators, they have already thought that through.
There's no one perfect way to do this, but at Talentory, we're working on bringing all these options together to make your job easier.
