My company in Dallas, TX is hiring for a web developer position. I love that no one can follow directions. If someone can’t follow simple directions, how are they going to work on a $30,000 or $150,000 website?

Anyway, any suggestions on where you place employment ads for a reasonable rate?

@kc_kreative As a current job seeker, I like Indeed too. It lists jobs from all over the web. It’s one-stop-shopping.

@donpurdum Jobing.com is another good place to list a job.

@donpurdum LinkedIn is a good place. Also if you give other employees a referral bonus, and add a spiff if they promote via social media, that can work, too.

ps… Online recruiting is SO MUCH MORE WORK than old recruiting was. Back in 1995 (bwa ha ha!), we ran an ad in ‘the’ Sunday paper. On Weds afternoon, an admin person took about 10 minutes to open 100 envelopes that had come in, and place all resumes and cover letters in a big pile.

5:00 PM Weds I would get the big pile
- 10 mins to  scan the cover letters and top of the resume, quickly sort into about 70 ‘probably nots’ and 30 ‘maybes’.
- 30 minutes to go through the ‘maybes’ in detail,
- 5:45 start calling about 10 of them for a phone scan
- 7:30 PM, go home with 5 – 10 first interviews booked. DONE!

So. Much. Easier. than the hours it takes to open 200 emails, with no ‘barrier to entry’ of them having had to print it out and put it in an envelope. Every last email with an attachment called ‘resume’ (whose resume????) Print them out (or not…), find them and re-open them every time you want to check something… manage them…

I like LinkedIn and locally we have a company JobsInME.com which is a good resource. I know they also have JobsInUS.com and sites in a bunch of states…not sure if they have a JobsInTX.com or not.
