Ecommerce - It's a Solution for Finding Folks As Well As Goods

While ecommerce and other firms with products and services to tout feel the daily frustration of producing, marketing and distributing their goods or services, and struggle to find a solution, nothing is more frustrating for these managers and entrepreneurs than the constantly revolving door. Hiring and training personnel, especially key personnel, is a daily headache - and a costly one. For some hard-to-fill positions, and in industries such as call centers where the turnover is 60 percent annually, hiring and retention is a daunting and often thankless, unending task.

Ecommerce - a Recruiter's Employer of Choice Solution

One solution is doing it the ecommerce way - and more and more companies are doing so. Not only does the Internet provide a greater reach for candidate search since it almost completely eliminates geographic issues, it also offers a well-known company the anonymity it needs to not be inundated by a deluge of unqualified candidates who just want to join such a noted firm. The cost is actually considerably lower than the price of a print advertisement, without the constraints of page size and cost.

In an ecommerce platform, a firm can use the time and space it takes for the solution to the old issue of being the employer of choice. A business can, for instance, list all its unique percs, and specify all job tasks and qualifications. It can, for instance, mention that employees are offered the use of the company's free video library, concierge service for laundry, and other unique percs that might, with space and cost constraints, go unsaid in a print ad.

The Big Gun Ecommerce Recruitment Solutions

There are many noteworthy recruitment sites offering an ecommerce hiring solution globally. The largest, with the greatest volume of advertising and the largest number of resumes in their resume database are Monster and CareerBuilder. Monster averages about 800, 000 jobs in its database at any given time; CareerBuilder, with 26 million unique visitors to its site each month, is the creation of newspaper giants Gannett, Knight Ridder and Tribune companies. Ecommerce giant MSN has joined CareerBuilder and the merged product now claims to be the number one online recruitment solutions offering.

Specialization May Be Your Ecommerce Recruitment Solution

Recruitment solutions via ecommerce do not always mean the biggest site with the greatest global reach, however. Sometimes the more specialized niche publications garner the most qualified job candidate resumes - at a much lower cost as well.

www.engineerjobs.com, for instance, is a nationwide engineering and technical employment ecommerce solution. Its resume database access is free of charge, as well as a link from the site to your site's career pages.

Journalismjobs.com, one of the most noteworthy and long-established recruitment solutions sites for the media, receives nearly 2 million page views each month, with hundreds of jobs listed from such notable employers as the Arizona Republic, Atlanta Journal-Constitution and National Public Radio. NurseJobsUsa.com offers 16, 000 jobs for viewing by nursing job candidates, as well as a resume database.
