thesaint sfc Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 Hi Guys, I'm looking to recruit someone and wondered where people had the most success in finding jobs / posting jobs? I've had a look on Monster and whilst I'm happy to pay their fee if it secures me a good employee, I'm a bit shocked at how expensive they are considering I could have no success. Any ideas?

mightysaints Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 What sort of work is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 What sort of work is it. Very important. I've never looked for a job in a JobCentre. I work in IT and use the big portals, like jobsite or jobserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience its worth biting the bullet and paying for the best medium in your sector (no idea what that is). For charity jobs Ive recruited for in the past I tried all kinds of cheap websites but the Guardian always came up with the successful candidate - which made it worthwhile even though it was the most expensive.

Bearsy Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 Is it ringing my housephone every day to leave a message about PPIs? I thought you mostly use robots for that, but I am willing to give it a go, cut out the middle man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 I put my jobs in plastic bag and post them to the taxman. Sometimes I mix in some wee wee too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you mostly use robots for that, but I am willing to give it a go, cut out the middle man Robots would not be useful for this task, Bear. As Lt Commander Data shows, they are low on emotion and big on logic. We're good on the emotion. A robot would have no problem banging on a pensioner's door to sell them a financial product to use in the fictive financial system. They could bang all night if they wanted to. Robots do not sleep. However, the robot would probably shut down in a shower of blue sparks if asked to justify the position, or explain what it was exactly that it did. The OP needs a merciless cúnt, not a mechanised automaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 I used to work for Enhance Media who own NORAS. If it's a highly skilled job it might be worth you checking it out. It's free to download. Failing that, I work in online recruitment and know how most job boards are set up and how to write your ad copy to give it maximum exposure. If you'd like me to take a look at your ad and offer advice, I am happy to. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 Ooh, get you! Are you saying that all Saints supporters are poor? On a more serious note, I don't think HNW individuals like being cold called anymore (probably less) than us poor oiks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 Don't go through an agency, they're sh!te to be employed by and you'll just end up with somebody permanently whining at you about their payslips. Trust me, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 By the way, did you get the business idea after watching Wolf of Wall Street? It worked well for them, just try not to spend all your money on midgets and hookers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Super Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Don't go through an agency, they're sh!te to be employed by and you'll just end up with somebody permanently whining at you about their payslips. Trust me, I know. You're mixing up recruitment agency with high street agency... As previously said, find an agency that specialises in sales recruitment and give them the job to look at. IF they ask you to pay up front, avoid like the plague! A decent agency will charge no fee until the role has been filled - then you are looking at 15-20% of the basic salary, but ensure this is agreed up front. You can negotiate lower fees of course, however the lower you go, the less interest the agency will pay towards finding the best candidate! Appoint an agency today and you should be able to shortlist candidates by the end of the week and interview next week.... Is the time and hassle of looking at CVs worth the cost of using an agency is the question to ask? Trust me, you put an ad up on a decent job board for a sales role and you will probably have to sift through a hundred or so CVs in order to find two or three good candidates... A final piece of advice, if you are going to do it yourself, don't put a phone number on the advert or you WILL get every agency calling you to tell you they have the best candidates waiting for you to look at!
