Jobvertise Applications Increase 400%; Server Upgrade Completed

Jobvertise, the world's number one free Jobs and Resumes database upgraded server capacity due to overwhelming increases in applications and database size.

With a 400% increase in applications over the last 3 months some employers have experienced the site lagging due to lengthy response times for database queries. Some searches in the past have resulted in "server overloaded" messages which is unacceptable.

We have upgraded the servers which will result in faster response times and quicker results from the database.

Thank you for using Jobvertise!

Jobvertise employer account gets a facelift

You may have noticed that things have changed for the better when you log into Jobvertise. We've spent a lot of time removing the clutter and giving you better and consistent navigation throughout the site.

For example, here is the typical login page:

You can see that there are now pull down menus containing easy navigational links and also and a quick links area on the right for the most common tasks.

There is a consistent logout button at the bottom of the pages and relevant navigational links.

Checkboxes or warning signs on the left column alert you to things that are optimal or need to be done.











We also have improved dialog boxes used throughout the site which gives you a better visual representation of what occurred form the previous page. For example:

The top dialog box indicates success by the green checkbox and green outline of the box. The bottom dialog box alerts you to a problem because of the octagon which represents a stop sign, an "X", and a red outline of the box. 

These visual cues alert you to what is going on in multiple ways in addition to text message.

Please enjoy your new employer account area and let us know if there is something we can do better!

Free Resume Database Can Help Staff Satellite Offices in Canada

Your USA based import/export business is doing exceedingly well. Now you’re at the point where it’s necessary to open satellite offices in several Canadian provinces. How are you going to find the experienced staff needed to man those new outposts? If you don’t mind us saying, we’d suggest utilizing our free resume database.

Our free resume database contains more than just American job seekers. You’ll also find employment information for qualified, Canadian job seekers and overseas candidates as well. So you can be ready when your firm finally decides to expand to the Pacific Rim or some other International trading zone too.

To use the free resume database, simply log onto Jobvertise and click the Canada Resume Search link. Once there, type in your keywords, city or zip and select a Canadian Province from the drop-down menu. Then hit the “Search Resumes” button and get to work finding the right employees for those satellite offices. If you don’t have the time to devote to searching each province individually, consider upgrading to a premium plan.

At Jobvertise, our premium plans have a resume alert feature. Thus, while you are actively searching for people to fill open positions in Ontario, you can make arrangements to receive e-mails identifying candidates that may be able to fill your firm’s New Brunswick and Nova Scotia satellite offices. Then, when you’re ready, you can use those e-mail alerts to start making contact with the cream of the crop in those two providences.

The other great thing about our service is that you can post batch job openings and create job pages for each of your firm’s satellite offices too. It’s all part of our suite of helpful, human resource tools. To learn more about them and how to start using our free resume database to staff all of your company’s satellite offices, please contact us today.

Free Resumes for Employers Seeking Data Entry Keyers

It’s no secret that today’s businesses thrive on data, and a lot of it! So there is never a shortage of open data entry keyer positions available in the world’s busiest economic zones. But how does a business find the best data keyers for the multitude of crucial tasks at hand? We’d recommend starting with our online human resource tool. It includes access to free resumes for employers.

At Jobvertise, we consistently receive resumes from experienced and hopeful data entry keyers from around the world. All of those resumes are placed by those individuals into our Jobvertise database, which is currently 1 million+ strong. Accessible 24/7, 365 days a year, it is the best place for employers to go when they need good data entry help, fast.

Like so many of our online human resource tool’s features, it’s completely free to use. And we offer premium add-ons for modest fees too. The list of beneficial, premium resume search plan features for companies in need of data entry help is quite extensive. For instance, let’s say that data entry help is needed at a large, international firm with 100+ locations and 50+ divisions. And on average, each division typically needs 250 new employees every summer to handle an influx of seasonal orders.

Well, with our online tool, Human Resource Department Managers at each of the company’s 50+ divisions could share one login and collectively search 300 data entry keyers’ resumes per day! In addition, they’d be given priority access during peak search times and have opportunities to bypass old resumes and focus on the newly posted ones.

When viewing the data entry keyers’ resumes, those same managers would also be able to see all of the candidate’s contact information so they could reach out to the best ones as soon as possible. And given how crucial having the right data entry team is to so many different industries, that’s truly a phenomenal plus. To learn more about these resume search plan benefits and others, please contact us today.

Search Resumes: Finding The Right Applicant The Easy Way

There was once a day when finding a new hire meant putting out an ad in the paper and waiting for the right person to notice it and come calling. No longer is this amount of waiting and chance necessary. Now, the applicant market is much deeper, and it is a lot easier to just search resumes and find the people that can do the work you need done.

Using Metrics
When searching for new employees, a business owner can go take a look at whatever qualifications they might consider to be important. It is a lot easier to simply type in a search for particular criteria than it is to wait and hope that someone who comes to interview has the qualities you are looking for. The job seekers on the website will post all of the information that you need to know about them right on the site
.
Broaden Your Search
A resume search site is great because it allows the user to broaden his or her horizons in terms of where they might get their employees. It creates a larger pool for them to select from, and this in turn adds more diversity to the workplace and helps improve the quality of employees who are selected. That in and of itself is a good reason to switch over to the resume search websites.

Contact Potential Hires
When a business reaches out and contacts someone who has put their resume on a search site, there is a good chance that the potential hire will at least contact the business back. Many will accept an interview if one is offered to them, and some will accept a job offer if they are able to get to that point.

Search Resumes for Free and Find Qualified Landscaping Staff

It is estimated that more than 75% of Americans turn towards landscaping companies in search of the perfect lawn and garden. Some choose to seek professional help because they don’t have the personal resources to get the job done right and others just prefer to utilize their resources elsewhere. Regardless of consumers’ reasoning, it is clear that now is the peak time for landing lawn and garden care jobs. And if your landscaping firm is hoping to make the most of the season, be sure to stop by Jobvertise and search resumes for free.

At Jobvertise, we maintain an international database that contains the resumes of 1 million+ qualified people actively seeking employment in a wide range of fields. Of course one of those fields is landscaping. Thus, at any given moment of the day or night, you may find qualified people to serve as the following team players:

• Landscape supervisors, foreman and project directors
• Core aeration technicians and artificial turf installers
• Landscape crew members and crew leaders
• Lawn and garden pest control technicians
• Commercial mowers and hardscapers
• Research agricultural technicians
• Gardeners and nursery managers
• Landscape architectural designers

In addition to passively searching for landscaping staff, employers are also welcome to make use of our recruiting services. They include the ability to post landscaping related help wanted ads and set-up a personalized jobs page. For start-up, small and moderate size landscaping companies, such services can really prove to be invaluable. That’s because they reduce the need for having to pay for, post and keep track of landscaping help wanted listings across multiple venues.

To learn more about using our database to search for new members of your seasonal landscaping team, please contact us. Our recruiting experts would love to help you staff your landscaping company for the summer season and well beyond.

Why Your Top Performers Should Interview Candidates from our Free Resume Database

Our free resume database makes it easier to find qualified candidates for any position, but you still need to find the right people to interview them. These are 5 good reasons to give your top performers a role in the selection process at your company.

Once you pick out the candidates you're going to bring in for an interview, include your top performers in the panel or give them a chance to talk one-on-one with each person prior to making any hiring decision. Consider the value your star employees bring to the table:

Focusing on results rather than qualifications: A high achiever probably wants to see if a team member can increase sales, improve quality, speed up delivery or make progress toward other goals. They're less likely to spend time worrying about a candidate's exact number of years of experience or past GPA.

Spotting potential: Of course, qualifications may be the easiest thing for many people to measure. Top performers are better positioned to recognize what a recent graduate or career changer is capable of.

Assessing accomplishments: There's considerable pressure on job hunters to inflate their resumes. An employee with firsthand experience can delve into details and tell what's realistic and relevant.

Discussing obstacles: Even if the candidate pulled off miracles in their last job, you'll be introducing them into new terrain. Your employee can point out the unique challenges as they see them.

Demonstrating high energy: Different industries require different qualities, but high energy levels are one thing most stellar employees have in common. Look for a candidate who matches the enthusiasm and engagement you find in your best team members.

Our customers say that Jobvertise delivers better results than the higher priced resume sites. Contact us today to search 1 million resumes free or discuss a customized plan for you.

Search Resumes Online So Your Next Hire Doesn't Look Just Like You

Do you search resumes like you're looking for a friend or for an employee? It's natural to gravitate towards people who seem like us and make us feel comfortable. On the other hand, online job databases and other resources can help your company grow by extending your horizons.
Some of the reasons people give for screening out resumes are downright puzzling. Cultural fit matters, but there's no reason a candidate can't be an excellent computer programmer and play tournament bridge. Think about it. You probably wouldn't lose any sleep if you spotted a top performer in your department carrying around a book about card games. It doesn't make any sense to dismiss people because their hobbies or birth places are different from your own.
In fact, there are many advantages to going beyond your network to make your next hire:

Fill in competency gaps: Think about your company's strengths and weaknesses when you're filling any position. This may be a chance to bring someone on board who has valuable certifications and licenses. Maybe you have plenty of talented writers and you need someone who is good with numbers.

Gain fresh perspectives: One reason we're attracted to people who seem familiar is because they're likely to want to fit in and please us. On the other hand, we grow more when our thinking is challenged. Conflicts can make a team perform better as long as people treat each other with respect.

Reach new customers: Welcome employees with different backgrounds and experiences. They may help you to break into new markets.

Of course, it takes work to make a diverse team gel. Select managers who know how to make each individual feel valued and give their best efforts. During recruitment, focus on a candidate's character, communication style and interpersonal skills.

Employers and recruiters can search more than 1 million resumes for free at Jobvertise. Contact us to learn more about our free services and premium plans.

Job Hunting Via Online Recruiting

You’ve been looking for a job but you haven’t found anything yet and your attention span is starting to slip. Things are not as easy as they used to be. Five to ten years ago, there were only a handful of websites that focused on job searches. There were headhunters knocking down candidate’s doors and the interview process was usually relatively quick. But times have changed.

Now there is considerable legwork required to fins a new job. Gone are the days when you could call a headhunter and have them do the searching for you. Now the onus is on you. So, how do you stay focused on your job search to find a new job? Here are some tips and tricks:

Research With so many online recruiting websites out there claiming to have the newest jobs posted and the most relevant data to help you decide on a position, it can be difficult to determine which site is reputable. Figuring it all out requires research and patience. Here are some important things to consider when selecting a job search website:

Diversify You don’t have to choose just one website for your job search. Try several. In this way, your resume is available to a wider range of businesses.
 
Know Your Source
There are traditional job board sites where companies list jobs directly, job sites that pull available jobs from multiple job boards, and niche boards that focus on specific positions or skill sets. Educate yourself so you know what to expect from the results. In a word: research!
Schedule Conducting a job search is very much like working. You must be diligent and proactive to find success. It is important that you practice effective time management as you conduct your searches.

• Allocate time to create and tweak your resume – Your resume is the first thing that employers see. Putting your best foot forward is imperative.
• Create multiple cover letter templates – It’s important to customize your resume for your audience, however, having a template that is ready to be modified is an excellent way to save time.
• Conduct thorough searches – Select keywords and tasks that relate to your job experience.
• Know what is required – Be sure you understand what the employer wants from job candidates
• Set up alerts to let you know when jobs that match your skill set are available.
• Network with people on social media sites geared toward business interests like LinkedIn. They may have opportunities available that are not on the job boards.

All of these things take time to do, but with proper planning they can be accomplished in a matter of hours each day.

Change Your Scenery If sitting in front of the computer and looking for jobs is starting to frustrate you, print copies of your resume and walk them in to businesses. Network with people that are in your industry in person as opposed to online.

Allow Yourself Some Downtime Sitting in front of the computer all day will tire anyone out. Let yourself get up and stretch, take a short walk, or grab something to eat.   Read an unrelated article for a change of pace. Once you feel rejuvenated, get back to it!

Looking for a job is tough. It is time consuming and can be daunting but with perseverance, you can get through. Contact us to learn about your next steps!

The Power of Online Recruiting Tools.

The technologies introduced by the internet have made job hunting easier and more accessible than any time in history. What used to a cumbersome task that required one to create resumes, search for prospective employers in the yellow pages and cold call business -- among many other inconveniences -- now requires little more than a cup of coffee, some time and a lot of patience.

Online recruiting tools make the job hunting task for employers easier as well. By having access to a database of potential job candidates, along with their associated information -- such as their resumes, social media account handles and perhaps photos -- they no longer have to be inconvenienced with meeting one person after another simply based on what they see in the persons resume.

Since online recruiting removes most of the face-to-face contact that used to be a staple of the job search, some things employers should look out for when screening potential applicants are:

1. The format of their resume
With the countless amounts of resume templates available, there is no excuse for a person to have one that is not formatted appropriately because it indicates a lack of an ability to pay attention to detail.

2. Always look at public facing social media accounts
More can be told about a person from their social media interactions than by even meeting them. In general, the way a person conducts themselves on social media networks is highly indicative of how they would conduct themselves in the work place.

If you are looking for a job or for someone to fill a job and want to use the best online recruiting tools in the process, feel free to contact us to get you started today!

Online Recruiting for Companies in Locations That Are Hard to Sell

When you are engaged in online recruiting, your candidates could be coming from anywhere in the world. How do you get people excited about a possible move from Paris or Hawaii to a community that is harder to sell?

Start out locally: If you can fill the vacant position with a candidate who already lives nearby you may not even have to address the issue. Of course, this may also save you money in relocation expenses and help you schedule an earlier start date.

Personalize your approach: The good news is that there may be plenty of people out there who appreciate your community more than any popular tourist destination. Places without a lot of nightlife may be attractive to a parent who cares more about quality schools and affordable home prices. A remote location and mild weather may suit the athlete who wants to run outdoors all year. An arts lover may be enchanted by an older city whose population is declining if there’s still charming architecture and a stellar art museum and orchestra.

Consider splitting time between two cities: In recent years, there has been a big increase in people who call more than one place home on an extended basis. The logistics are challenging, but the rewards may be worth it for some candidates. If circumstances permit, you may want to let them try out the commute before making a final commitment.

Discuss the timeline: Staying in a place for one year is different from making a permanent move. Maybe you need specialized talent for a short term contract. By stating that at the outset you can attract candidates who are willing to make an interim move while they pursue other longer term prospects.
