The Recruiting Edge - The SnagAJob.com Employment Newsletter A publication from: SnagAJob.com - The #1 Source for Hourly Employment
  May 2009
ISSUE #16

Now available! Your guide to hiring a winning hourly workforce

A search for books about hiring turns up nearly 10,000 results on Amazon.com. Very few, however, focus on the 70 million hourly workers in America’s workforce. That’s why SnagAJob.com CEO Shawn Boyer wrote “Help Wanted & Help Found” – to guide and inform recruiters and business owners whose success depends on the hourly workers they hire for their front lines.

                 Help Wanted & Help Found

“Help Wanted & Help Found” is the product of nine years spent studying hourly recruitment tactics at great American companies. It’s written in an engaging, workbook-style format to help readers develop an hourly recruiting strategy and measure their results.

In this book, you’ll discover:

  • What job seekers are really looking for (p. 52)
  • How to use interviews to predict performance (p. 89)
  • Why an employee’s first day matters so much (p. 108)
  • Which metrics best measure the success of your hiring tactics (p. 130)

Craigslist recruiting: too good to be true?Arms crossed

More and more companies are looking for ways to cut back – especially when it comes to recruitment. But posting on discount websites like Craigslist could be doing your company more harm than good. According to a recent article on noted recruiting blog Cheezhead (4/13/2009) Craigslist is “losing effectiveness as a recruiting source under the weight of its own success,” and recruiters who use the site say they’re running into some major issues.

The biggest Craigslist headache is too many unqualified candidates. How much time do you want to spend sorting through resumes? The sheer number of applications being received by recruiters is staggering – and taking up valuable time. At SnagAJob.com you can sort the best from the rest by using screening questions.

Have you experienced the two other big problems recruiters are having with Craigslist? Find out what you need to know.
