Online Job Boards

Internet hosts many websites and online classifieds that accept free job postings.

In these sites, posting a job ad is chargeable. This fee allows you to use the tools available on the site organize, edit and manage the resumes you received through your posts.

Niche Websites

These websites are more intently focused on specific professions or skills, making your recruiting process easier. Some sites may even provide you with a list of pre-qualified applicants who are skilled in their fields.

Resume Based Websites

There are many websites who allow candidates to upload their resume for free. While they host resumes for free, employers are charged for looking through the websites for the right candidates. This is an alternative to paying an employment website for hosting your job opening ad. A free trial gives you access to resume databases with hidden contact information.

Networking Websites

Social networking is a very popular, upcoming online feature that has got most of the professionals hooked. You can consider this as your long-term recruiting tactic where you have to build network with candidates, referrals, etc. Best features of social networking are that it is free of charge and it grows virally, developing trust among the referrals.

You must always choose a recruiter who is well informed of your domain and can help you fulfill your requirements. It is also important to be aware of their recruiting process. Some firms charge a fixed fee (which is normally very expensive) whether they get you the right person or not. They may also charge a portion of the annual salary of the post. However, most of the firms are less expensive, charging you only if the candidate is selected.

Search Marketing

You can use Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click (PPC), Link Building or many other search marketing techniques to bring higher visibility to your website to drive qualified visitors. This way you can ensure that the candidates are genuinely interested with your job opportunity.
