If you are a stranger to Job Boards or an internet novice then job boards can seem quite intimidating. Lots of adverts, flashing lights & pop ups can confound you; numerous links can baffle you and let’s not even mention the confusing search options and job posting forms! One thing is for sure though, job boards are essential to your job search or for finding your perfect employee. So why should you use job boards & with so many jobs to choose from, how do you know which one/s to use?It’s all about casting that bigger net. As an employer you could simply pen your advert on a scrap of paper & attach it to a lamp post in your local high street & probably get a few applications for the tiny cost of the stationery. What about the quality though? You may get lucky & find your dream employee, although it’s unlikely.
For the relatively low expense (compared with recruitment agencies) of a job board your advert can potentially reach thousands, thereby increasing the chance of finding a quality employee. We all know the value of a great employee and how detrimental a poor one can be. It’s all a matter of maths, a poor employer = potentially £1000s lost in training & lost revenue, the cost of a job board advert = possibly less than £100!Why should job seekers use job boards?Do not underestimate their importance to finding you your dream job. If you are job seeking do you want to see only 5% of the jobs relevant to you or do you want to see 99% of them? It’s an easy choice to make so you should know that newspaper adverts cost potential employers much time & money so only a small number of their jobs, if at all, make it into the newspaper.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1520596
