Internet Advantages

Reasons to Use the Internet for Recruiting

The Internet is the fastest-growing means of communication in the history of mankind. But because it's relatively new, some organizations are reluctant to get on board the online recruiting train. Here are some compelling facts that outline the benefits of recruiting via the Internet and explain how easy it is for employers to use:

1. Cost
A recent study by the Employment Management Association estimated that the cost-per-hire using traditional advertising was $3,295.00, while the cost-per-hire using the Internet was almost ten times lower - just $377.00!

2. Content
Internet recruiting companies provide a sizable content advantage over traditional advertising. The high column-inch or per-line cost of print advertising forces employers to shorten job descriptions. With a NationJob job listing (the equivalent of two standard "paper" pages, single spaced), you can provide plenty of information about the position and have room left over to sell the benefits of working for your company vs. your competition.

3. Coverage
Nationwide instead of local or regional. NationJob's site is used by hundreds of thousands of job seekers because it's functional and easy to navigate. P.J. Scout, our personal job search agent, is an automated system that helps job seekers narrow their hunt by pinpointing only those job listings that match their criteria (e.g. salary range, location, etc.). This means fewer unqualified candidates responding to your ads. P.J. currently has over 950,000 subscribers and is growing at a net rate of over 100,000 subscribers per year. According to Newspaper Association of America figures, if P.J. Scout was a newspaper, its "circulation" would place it in the top 2 percent of all American newspapers.

4. Convenience
We make it easy for you to post jobs. Submission and updating of jobs is as easy as using the mail, e-mail or a fax machine. We accept information in any legible format. We can even pull it off an existing web site.

5. Communication
Job seekers can submit their resumes by e-mail instantly, even while they're still reading. This instant "dialogue" is especially crucial in a tight job market where seconds count. It can significantly shorten the hiring process, giving you a better chance at hiring an outstanding candidate before one of your competitors does.

6. Copy changes
Ad content can be changed frequently with no hassles.

7. Cross posting
We cross-post your job listings to frequently visited sites on the Internet including America's Job Bank, and other web sites extending their reach to thousands more job seekers.
