Is it
necessary to respond to all applicants?
More and more job applicants, hourly and otherwise, are
reporting that they’re not hearing back from employers –
sometimes, there’s silence even after an interview. If
you’re not responding to all of your job applicants, you
could be sending the wrong message. A recent Taleo
survey shows that 99% of online job seekers not
only want, but expect some kind of response after
submitting their application.
We hear a lot of reasons why companies don’t respond to
applicants.

- Job seekers don’t mind.
- They don’t even notice.
- It takes up too much time.
- It won’t matter in the long run.
Every single one of those reasons isn’t true. Job
Seekers do care and will often wait for weeks or
even months for a response, long after you’ve made your
hiring decision.
So what’s a busy recruiter to do?

Location-based plans: a cheaper way to hire
Every recruiter and hiring manager knows that hourly
hiring ain’t easy.
- The average hourly turnover rate (across all
industries) hovers around 100%. That means
replacing all your hourly employees every year.
- In the quick-service restaurant industry, the
standard turnover rate is even higher: 151%.
- It costs more than $2,000 to replace the
average hourly foodservice employee.
- It costs more than $19,000 to replace the
average foodservice manager.
Ouch. The good news is you can control your costs!
Online recruiting is cheaper than other forms of
recruiting, with a cost per hire averaging around $200.
Many companies we work with, both small and national,
have lowered their cost per hire to $20 or less – often
while seeing a reduction in turnover.
How do they do it? One big factor is our unique
location-based hiring plans. Instead of paying per
posting, you can pay one low, flat price to post all
jobs at each business location. As the applicants keep
flowing, you can see your cost per hire drop.

I found a job!
"I came across your
website a little over a year ago. I
never thought that I would be able to get a
job over the internet. I applied for a
job at
Boston Market. About a week later
I got a phone call from my manager. I went
in for an interview and was hired that day.
I have been working there a little over 1
year. I was promoted to Certified
Trainer about 5 months after being hired. I
am the translator at my job. I never
thought that Spanish would come in handy.
Now, I only speak Spanish at work...
Thank you so much
SnagAJob.com."
