Aside from marketing your startup to potential customers, you also need to market to potential employees.
About a month ago, I had an open Marketing Manager position to fill, and I turned to ZipRecruiter to help take away some of the tedious administrative tasks that come along with hiring. Because when you think about it, the process of posting a job, sifting through resumes, etc. is a gigantic time sink. Just a few of the associated tasks:
- Writing the job post in a way that makes it stand out from boring job posts
- Posting it on multiple job boards
- Managing and reviewing resumes
- Rating candidates
- Scheduling phone screens
- Scheduling interviews
ZipRecruiter takes away many of the management headaches.
Posting a Job
Rather than posting a job individually to all job boards, ZipRecruiter lets you upload once and post to many sites:
Some sites require payment (like Craigslist and Monster), and ZipRecruiter guides you through that process.
Managing Resumes
Through ZipRecruiter, you can see resumes for each job, save them directly to Google Docs, rate them, and share with colleagues. That’s exactly what we did. Once we found a few solid candidates, we did phone interviews, followed by in-person interviews.
I definitely plan on using ZipRecruiter in the future. In less than a month, we were able to post a job easily and hire a candidate.
