Jobvertise makes home page mobile friendly

The Jobvertise home page is now mobile friendly and easier to navigate. We added time saving drop down menus and a more prominent job search box. 

The home page is easily viewable on most smartphone devices encouraging more job searches and ultimately more applications. The same layout is also visible on larger screens giving consistent navigation and feel.

In general, we cleaned up the home page and have completed the job search results page. We are working on the second level pages next and will roll those out when they are ready. We are excited about this facelift and also supporting mobile devices!

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.

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.

Free Resume Search: The Hunt For Better Candidates

Businesses sometimes have to search out candidates for various jobs in a hurry. It could be that there is a position that needs to be filled, and they are at a loss for who to put in that role. If that is the case, a free resume search can help them identify potential candidates for hire quite easily.

Locate Candidates Quickly
Those searching through resumes will enjoy the fact that they are able to locate the candidates they are looking for quickly and easily with customized searches. Customized searches allow for resume screening. It means that people who are in the local area and could actually fill the position can be found. Other criteria can be used to screen through candidates. Perhaps you are only interested in those with a college degree. If so, you can screen out those who do not have one easily.

Check Resumes Before An Interview
Before asking a candidate to come in for an interview it is possible to review their entire resume. You may want to note the things that you have questions about within their resume. It is a good way to prepare for a candidate before they are ever in your office doing an interview with you. Many business owners find this to be a great benefit to interviewing candidates.

Review What The Talent Base Is
Sometimes it is a benefit to simply look at the total base of talent available in the workforce at a given time. It can help you compare what your workforce level of talent is compared to what the talent of the general public is. This may help lead you to make some decisions about your personnel in general.

2013 Online Recruiting Report Released

Last year, online recruiting took a huge turn, as reported by the Research and Markets recent press release. The report covered a number of different topics, including the preferred recruiting sources for top American companies. Titled, "US Online Recruitment Market - 2013 Report", it revealed a number of up and coming trends for recruiters heading into 2014.

One trend on the upswing in online recruiting is the mobile unit. Whether it is a smartphone or a tablet, more recruiters are using these devices to post jobs because more job seekers are paying attention. The overall recruiting market is witnessing an overall increase in the number of job applicants using a mobile device. Naturally, companies and recruiters need to follow suit and tailor their job postings to fit onto the smaller screens.

Social media is another growing trend in online recruiting. In fact, it is one of the major drivers in recruiting for 2013, with the trend expected to continue into the new year. This recruitment method is cost effective and offers recruiters a wider pool of potential candidates. Recruiters have more candidate information at their fingertips for one low, or non-existent, yearly cost. This is driving recruiters to sites such as LinkedIn in droves.

There are challenges to the system, however. Technology moves at the speed of light and security is a major concern. Confidentiality isn't always on par with online recruiting either, and job seekers are noticing the trend. Heading into 2014, job seekers might shy away from online recruiting if security and confidentiality issues aren't addressed, according to this report.

Online recruiting is secure in its most basic uses, but it does come with its downfalls. As recruiters move their searches to the Internet, they need to step up their systems of security and practice strict confidentiality to attract the best talent to their company. The talent is out there; it's only a matter of helping job seekers trust the online forums used to cultivate their skills.

If you have any other questions, please contact us.

Choosing the Correct Type of Interview Questions

Employers have to screen possible candidates for the latest job opening. Job interviews are custom for a new job or advancement within the company. According to your company, what questions should you ask candidates during the interview?  Human resources are responsible for performing the interview process, so choosing the interview questions is very important.  This is going to decide who joins the company.  You have two choices: the standard questions or oddball ones.

Standard questions are common interview questions most companies use.  What human resources have to do is listen to the answers and watch their body language.  There are plenty of questions to select.  The downside of this is candidates can access common interview questions online.  They can prepare the best answers to please the ear just to land the job.  The good news for you is that you are expecting this.  You have the power of choosing which questions to ask and in what order.  You can weed out the ones that give generic answers without showing their personality.

Thinking outside the box and asking unorthodox questions will throw candidates off guard.  They have to think on their feet if they want the job.  Check out their answers and mannerisms during the interview.  Math questions, personal struggles, songs, recipes and completing a task on the spot are examples of how zany the questions can be.  The downside of the method is the time it takes to conjure an oddball question.  The questions have to connect to the job.  However, it will be worth it in the end.  This type of interview is great for job openings related to problem-solvers and thinking on your feet.

A combination of both is a good idea.  You can use the standard questions as warm-ups to the oddball ones, vice versa or a mix and match.  They'll be prepared for the standard questions and won't see the oddball questions coming.  You'll know which candidates to eliminate with this process.

Don't go too far in the interview.  Asking questions that doesn't pertain to the job is illegal.  There is a line hiring mangers cannot cross.  Evaluate the questions before the round of interviews begin and make sure the HR representative doesn't have a history of being too assertive.

Take your time choosing a candidate.  You don't want to hire someone just to fire them and rehire for the same position.  Contact us for more information.

Strategic Reasons Why Staffing Agencies are Necessary for Your Company

Staffing agencies is another way to search for permanent workers.  Along with the obvious reasons - filling vacancies between employees, adding workers during seasonal time, and giving overworked employees relief - temporary services help companies in other ways.  Three reasons why a staffing or temporary service is necessary are below.

Temporary services occupy people from every industry.  You can find the right person for the project; all it takes is research.  The candidate offer specialized experience that your employees don't possess.  You can get the project done today without hiring a permanent employee.  It's great for companies whose finances are struggling.

Employees in staffing services offer a fresh perspective to situations.  Current workers in the company have gone stale with ideas or refusing to think outside the box.  Companies that crave a different angle will hire an employee from a temporary agency for those innovative ideas.  If you do decide to hire the person, that person will bring fresh ideas to the fold.  Their experience may be just the thing you're looking for.

If you do choose to find candidates, a temporary service worker is a great solution.  You've seen the resume and saw the work ethic in person.  You had time to interact with them for a few days, a few weeks or a few months.  You know how they interact with customers, management and other employees.  If this person is a great fit, you can hire them straight from the temporary service to your business. It's easier for companies to hire someone they know and feel comfortable with than hiring someone based a resume; you have more information to go on.  That's why networking is so popular.

Staffing or temporary services are a great opportunity to try someone out before you hire them.  Staffing agencies are also good to fill up the work staff quickly during high traffic and seasonal periods.  Don't ditch the online recruiting tool and searching for the perfect online resume for staffing services.  Add this trick with online recruiting tools and resume searching to find the best candidates for your company.  Contact us for more information.
