It's About Time (and Money)
There are some phrases in our language that seem to want the impossible from us. We’re expected to “burn the candle at both ends” and “be two places at once.” The old expression “time is money” presents a conundrum as well, because it suggests that you can have only one of those valuable commodities at a time.
But ConstructionJobs.com offers you both. Time and money. How, you wonder?
Think for a moment about the budget you have to work with and out of which you must acquire the resources you need to generate a profit. That budget covers everything from advertising job opportunities to relocating new hires. In addition to making wise financial choices, executives have to manage their time effectively as well - and with a multitude of responsibilities, this can often be the more difficult task. So, clearly, the dual task of budgeting time and money well is a demand you face.
Consider some of the traditional tools used to find candidates to fill open positions and how they impact your budget, and then see how ConstructionJobs.com can help you effectively budget all your resources.
Classified ads – This familiar forum for advertising job opportunities has become less effective over time due to its limitations and hidden costs. July’s newsletter covered this topic well. While it can be an economical resource, it takes time to prepare an ad within specific size restrictions. The alternative - hiring a third party to create camera ready ad copy - costs more money …and (you guessed it) more time. And you often have to wait days to see changes in your ad copy take affect.
ConstructionJobs.com makes it easy for you to post a job, with no limit to the size of your ad. In addition, your ad can feature a corporate logo as well as information about your company or a link to your web site, all of which creates a professional presentation that helps sell your company to the prospects who view it. While you can call for help if and when you need it, it’s just as easy to log into your account 24 hours a day to make any changes to your job post and have those changes take affect immediately.
Third Party Recruiters – If money is no object, then a headhunter will help save you time by doing the legwork to find a qualified candidate for you to interview. This service, however, can cost tens of thousands of dollars for a single hire.
ConstructionJobs.com has the tools to automate an ongoing search for candidates with specific qualifications and save you time. It’s easy to set up an alert if you have access to our resume database. And as new candidates enter that database, those who match the criteria in your alerts will be set aside for you to review at your convenience.
We have plans that will meet your needs. An annual contract with ConstructionJobs gives you unlimited job posting and access to our constantly growing resume database for only a few hundred dollars a month.
Make the most of the time and money you have to find the right people. Call ConstructionJobs today. Don’t you think it’s about time (and money)?
