Retailers Seek More Affordable Job Recruitment
With the retail industry growing rapidly from year to year, many retailers have started searching for cheaper alternatives to large online job recruitment websites such as Monster.com.
Fayetteville, AR (PRWEB) May 16, 2005 -- With the retail industry growing
rapidly from year to year, many retailers have begun using online job
recruitment services to help fill corporate and store-based positions. The
information technology era has provided many new ways for retail employers to
recruit via the internet. The most popular job recruitment websites include
Monster.com and Hcareers.com
These type of job recruitment websites
offer retail employers the chance to advertise jobs on a nationwide level, as
opposed to the limited ability of local advertising. Most retailers advertise
jobs on their own company websites, in addition to job recruitment websites. By
using online job recruitment services, retail employers have access to thousands
of resumes to search for qualified candidates. These types of websites greatly
increase the scope and visibility of employers current open positions.
While these websites seem like a much more productive way for retailers
to find qualified job candidates, they have also become exceedingly expensive.
Websites like Monster.com and Hcareers.com are charging retailers anywhere from
$200 - $350 per job posting, in addition to initial account setup fees and
add-on services. Most retail employers are extremely satisfied with the ability
to reach a large online market but are often discouraged by high priced posting
fees.
There have been several websites which have taken a new approach to
the dramatic problem of overpriced retailing recruitment. RetailHeroes.com is a
prime example of this type of website. Colin Fagras, Director of Marketing for
RetailHeroes.com said, “We have found a new solution to help retailers with
their job recruitment services by running a smaller company and offering much
more affordable pricing. We target smaller markets and provide more targeted and
qualified candidates for our employers.” RetailHeroes.com offers the same
variety of services and professionalism as the larger recruitment websites, but
they offer job postings at substantially reduced prices and they tend to have
much closer relationships with retailers. “We keep very close relationships with
our employers. We feel by offering more affordable pricing and solid customer
service, retailers will stop using overpriced corporate websites and continue
recruiting with our company,” Mr. Fagras stated.
With the increasing cost
of online job recruitment and the ever growing number of retailers nationwide,
employers will be forced to either fork out the expensive fees of advertising
with larger websites or begin to advertise with smaller, yet more affordable and
more targeted websites such as RetailHeroes.com.
