SnagAJob.com's in the news
We haven’t passed a stimulus bill or had octuplets (yet), but SnagAJob.com has been in the news several times in recent weeks.
On Fox Business News, CEO Shawn Boyer talked about employment trends and what makes SnagAJob.com the best job board for matching employers with hourly employees.
We’ve been featured in The Washington Post and on local news networks. And on CNN, we were mentioned in a recent piece by reporter Gerri Willis on the tough job market for teens.

What should you do with overqualified applicants?
MBAs are applying for theme park jobs. Managers with ten years of experience are vying for entry-level positions. Highly qualified applicants are flooding the workforce. So is this a good thing or a peril in the world of hourly hiring?
If you’re seeing more applicants who are overqualified for your hourly positions, don’t be quick to toss them out. Highly qualified applicants who are seeking “survival jobs” are, in general, highly motivated and willing to work.
What about turnover? Overqualified workers may not stick around forever if something better comes along. But look at it this way – if the average turnover for hourly jobs is 300 percent, what do you have to lose? Hiring more qualified, more experienced workers for your hourly positions can benefit your business in ways you never expected – and if you give these workers the opportunity to advance, they may stay with you for a long time.
SnagAJob.com has more highly qualified hourly job seekers than ever before. The number of primary income earners has gone up by 189 percent year over year, while the number of job seekers aged 35 to 54 has increased by 229 percent.

"Being able to access applications for the different locations via computer was a huge time saver for me. Our restaurants are a total of 30 miles apart which means a lot of driving just to pick up applications. I appreciated the applications listing the miles from the applicant’s address to the restaurant’s address… I would say easily 50% of the hires that I made while I was handling that aspect of the business were from the SnagAJob.com applications… A definite time saver."

"I am so happy to say that I joined with SnagAJob.com a couple of months ago and ended up with a job in December of 2008… The name of the company is WIS International. We do inventory for stores such as JC Penney, Toys "R" Us, Food Lion and Walmart… I had been out of work since 2006. It had not been easy to find work, but SnagAJob.com made it easy sending job alerts to my email and I chose the ones I was interested in. Thanks to SnagAJob.com I have a wonderful job with very nice supervisors."
