4 Qualities to Look for When Searching Our Free Resumes for Employers

Even with Jobvertise’s superior human resources tools, sifting through free resumes for employers can be time consuming. So to help speed up the process and save everyone from a dreaded case of sandpaper eyes, we wanted to share a bit of advice for finding the best candidates. In our experience, there are several qualities commonly found in wonderful employees. Here is a glance at four of those attributes:

#1: Adaptable
One characteristic commonly found in job candidates with executive potential is adaptability. A good way to tell if a potential hire has that quality is to look at their past work history. Those that held more than one position within a firm or positions that inherently required multitasking tend to be adaptable.

#2: Inquisitive
We’d also suggest looking for signs that the job candidate is inquisitive or otherwise interested in learning new things. Tell-tale signs of such are often found in the education section of a person’s resume. Examples include certificates earned after college graduation and participation in skill based seminars.

#3: Accommodating
The ability to be accommodating is another characteristic to keep an eye out for when using our human resources tools. A great way to determine a person’s flexibility is to look at which hours they list as being available for work. Other methods include looking at what they listed as their desired starting salary and whether or not they listed being open to relocation.

#4: Philanthropy
Lastly, you can sometimes identify a great, prospective team player by their propensity to participate in philanthropic endeavors. After all, most charitable organizations require volunteers to work together in teams. Thus, items to look for when scanning our free resumes for employers include a history of volunteer work.

Online Recruiting Tools Can Help Firms Meet 2014 HR Goals

With 2014 on the horizon, we wanted to take a moment to talk about current and emergent HR trends. As it stands now, the majority of experts agree that there are several areas that will impact human resources management in the New Year. Here’s a quick overview and how using online recruiting tools can help:

The current and emerging trends that are expected to play a key role in staffing matters next year include, but are not restricted to, the following:
  • Mobile Devices and System Integration
  • Social Media and Gamification
  • Globalization and Outsourcing
  • Cloud Computing and Big Data
Jobvertise’s online recruiting tools can help when it comes to trends related to mobile devices, system integration, globalization, outsourcing and social media. To begin with, our free online job and resume database is the largest one in the world. So finding world-savvy, high quality employees both domestically and abroad is merely a mouse click or two away.

In addition, our online recruiting tools are designed to be integrated into a company’s existing websites and used with social media outlets. For example, with our recruiting tool, job search boxes and RSS feeds may be added to a firm’s choice of sites. There is also an option to create a dedicated jobs page that can be linked to and shared across assorted platforms.

On top of all of that, our recruiting services and resume search plans can help to decrease the time between job postings and success. That’s because our premium plans offer access to potential employee’s e-mail addresses, phone numbers, targeted alert tools and search options.

Do you have questions or want more information about online recruiting tools? If so, please contact us through the Jobvertise site. We’d be delighted to help you achieve your firm’s human resources goals in 2014.

Free Resume Search Can Help Solve Unfortunate Staff Shortages

To those that work in the human resources industry, it should come as no great surprise that unfortunate staffing shortages do happen. What may not be so obvious is how to correct them. If you find yourself in such a position this holiday season, we’d like to recommend taking the following actions:

Start to repair the damage by logging onto Jobvertise. Once you are on site, conduct a free resume search. It will turn up the resumes of those presently looking for employment in your geographical area. Under the free search plan, you’ll be able to look at 20 of those resumes each day.

Next, take the 20 job candidates that appeared during your free resume search and go over what they posted. As you do, look for any red flags. If you find a resume that doesn’t quite suit your needs, discard it and move on. When you are finished, go back over the remaining resumes and attempt to make contact with the job seekers. Hopefully, you’ll be able to set up interviews quickly and make a final selection.

If you have very little time to fill your firm’s open positions, consider signing up for a paid resume search plan and our recruiting services instead. The paid search plans allow you to view anywhere from 50 to 300 resumes per day. In addition, you’ll be able to get supplemental contact information like direct e-mails. That should make it easier for you to make contact and set up interviews.

The recruiting services, on the other hand, can help bring your firm’s job postings to the attention of qualified candidates. Additional recruitment resources available include, but are not limited to, featured jobs listings, RSS feeds and customized job notification pages.

Use A Free Resume Database To Quickly Find The Best Candidates

Every human resources representative wishes that all applicants that walked in for a job interview would be great candidates for the job. Unfortunately, that is not how it works. However, there are ways in which one may reduce the amount of time they spend looking at applicants that are not cut out for the job. One such way is to use a free resume database.
Businessinsider.com did a review of a free resume database and came up with a list of some of the benefits for an employer:
Benefits for employers
  • No subscription necessary
  • Preview resumes without ever leaving the search results page
  • Set up unlimited saved searches and receive daily emails with new and updated resumes matching search criteria.
This is a great way to look at things. Employers are able to gain a wide range of benefits when they use a free resume database that they would not have available to them if they were not taking advantage of such technologies. They immediately get a better grasp of what the potential candidate for hire is going to be like, and in fact can hand select the people that they would like to offer an interview to.

Perhaps there is someone waiting out there to be hired for the job you have to fill but they are unaware it exists. If they knew about it, maybe they would jump at the chance to work for you. It is difficult to say for sure, but there is a likelihood that someone out there is missing the opportunity that you have to offer. Don't let that happen by simply using a free resume database
.
Contact us if you have any more questions regarding why you might consider using a free resume database.
