Taylor, MI (PRWEB) October 14, 2008
Believe it or not, even during this time of economic turmoil, there are still jobs available and employers who are in need of qualified candidates. A recession has cost our nation many jobs and has increased unemployment rates throughout the country. Yet, companies that are fortunate enough to continue operating must do so with a sufficient staff. When it comes time to seek qualified candidates, should these employers still pay the high prices of the "Big Three" job boards, Hot Jobs™, Careerbuilder™ or Monster™? At over $300 each for a listing that could range from 30-60 days, is it necessary to invest this much so early in the recruitment process? JobDrama.com is a career network that stands by the belief that these costs should not be as high as they are.
Many of the job boards boast that for all the money that is paid, the listing stays online for 30-60 days. However, most people won't even apply for a job that is more than two weeks old. Basically, the employer is paying over $300 for a two week window where the job listing is the most popular. Consider this, with the labor market overflowing with job seekers, within the first few days that the job opening is posted, an employer could receive over 50 applicants and any one of those could, most likely, fill the position. Now you have overpaid for an ad that runs longer than necessary and will most likely not be noticed on day 15 and beyond.
In this economy, countless people are hurting for jobs, why should it cost an employer so much to spread the word about a career opportunity? Couldn't that money be better spent on benefits, employee rewards or even an improved profit margin? Nova Yeoman, CEO and Founder of http://www.JobDrama.com, believes that quality doesn't have to cost more than what is reasonable. "As an affordable alternative to the mainstream job boards and local newspaper, JobDrama.com offers a price of only $59 to post a job that runs for 4 weeks with unlimited words and the option to add a picture or logo for free."
Imagine the costs that staffing agencies incur when seeking to find candidates to fill a variety of temporary to permanent jobs. Even with the "deal" that is offered by the "Big Three" job boards, a company can still spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to attract applicants. If a company needs to post more than 3 jobs per month, we should all rejoice and be glad that the opportunities are out there. JobDrama.com gives an incentive for companies to continually list their openings. For $199 per month, an employer or staffing agency can post unlimited jobs, with unlimited words, which include free pictures or logos.
One could reason that the free job boards, such as the popular Craigslist™ would be a better choice. "What many are finding is that the free job boards are flooded with 'work from home' or 'get rich quick' schemes, making it difficult for qualified candidates to sift through and locate the legitimate job listings. In the end, this becomes an obstacle to employers. Time is money and the longer it takes to fill a position; the more behind a company could get in production. Hoping that an applicant will find and apply to their job listing on a free job board, is like hoping that the candidate will find their needle in a haystack." -Nova Yeoman
