Hiring

Employers looking to hire professionals are often unsure of how or where to begin their employee search.  There are a number of services and tools available to decrease the amount of time necessary for hiring employees while increasing the quality and quantity of applicants.  Career services, online job boards, job fairs, and classified ads each offer specific benefits to employers hiring every type of candidate, including entry-level to experienced, as well as jobseekers attempting to find work. 

Exceptionally busy or understaffed organizations looking for employees to fill permanent or temporary positions may enlist the help of employment services.  Temporary services place candidates in an organization on an hourly wage contract for short periods of time, generally to help with unexpected absences or unusually high business demands.  Employment agencies and staffing firms are very similar due to the amount of screening each perform on candidates, and that they only make placements on a permanent basis.  Employment agencies offer employers and candidates the opportunity to experience the candidate or company for a one to three month period before making any hiring commitments.  Recruitment firms, on the other hand, are for employers looking for employees on a permanent and highly professional level.  These positions offer immediate hire, so candidates are willing to compete for these experienced positions.  Employment agencies may employ professionals based on fee agreements or wage contracts, while recruiters only work on a fee basis. 

Due to the immense costs and commitment to employment services, many organizations utilize online job boards to hire someone selected from candidate pools which meet specific employment criteria.  For less specialized occupations, many employers rely on large job boards that offer a large quantity of individuals, but they do not always meet standards set by employers.  Niche based job boards, such as iHire LLC, offer fewer candidates that are qualified for and interested in employers’ positions. 

Job fairs and classified ads are for employers wishing to hire independently.  Job fairs are gatherings where one or many employers devote their time to meeting with numerous jobseekers.  They often advertise these hiring events in the newspaper classifieds, but they can get relatively costly, and may require excess employees to run all of the activities that are involved.  Classifieds are available both in print and online.  Organizations may post available positions or search work wanted pages.  An employer search of these pages is commonly labor intensive, and often unsuccessful. 

Employers should thoroughly research the costs, necessary labor, guarantees, and obligations associated with each search tool to ensure the best method is utilized.
