Has your company experienced the painstaking process of sifting through countless resumes on job board sites, only to find a handful of qualified candidates, or worse, no qualified candidates at all? 

We know this experience well. 

We see it happening in real-time online. 

We often hear our clients talk about the gaps they run into when relying solely on job boards for their hiring. 

And while these job board sites might have some positive qualities, it can often be time-consuming and costly to maintain, leaving your organization desperate for a more efficient hiring solution.

Today, we’re unraveling the alternatives and exploring how partnering with That’s Good HR can give you a significant advantage in the hiring game.

The Pitfalls of Job Boards

Over the past 20 years, for many employers, job boards have been a go-to platform for talent-sourcing. But as with anything, it’s not without its drawbacks. 

There are some increasingly common challenges that have companies looking for options outside of popular job board sites. 

Inundated with Irrelevant Resumes

Sorting through resumes can be an overwhelming task that consumes a significant amount of time and energy. Job board postings often attract a wide range of applicants, including unqualified candidates who may not possess the necessary qualifications or experience. 

In fact, according to a survey by CareerPlug, job boards produced 88% of all applications but only 29% of hires in 2022. 

This flood of resumes makes it challenging for employers to successfully identify the best talent for the role. 

As a result, employers waste valuable hours sifting through resumes that don’t align with the job requirements. Oftentimes, employers are tasked with contacting candidates, scheduling interviews, and keeping in touch with potential hires with individuals who don’t end up fitting the bill.

These efforts inevitably delay the hiring process and hinder productivity.

Costly to Boost Job Postings

Typically, job boards have a pay-per-click model and other ad features that can quickly eat into your hiring budget. While the platform offers a wide-reaching audience, each click comes at a cost, and without careful monitoring, expenses can quickly add up. 

Additionally, oftentimes employers feel compelled to boost their job postings to maximize visibility and attract more candidates by purchasing premium placements and additional advertising.  These attempts to boost listings can strain the recruiting budget and may not always yield the desired results.

Lack of Industry Insights + Knowledge

Job sites provide a limited scope of information, neglecting crucial details related to industry trends, competitor analysis, and specific skill sets required for success in your niche. 

By overlooking these factors, employers risk missing out on candidates who possess specialized knowledge or unique experiences that could drive innovation and growth within their organization.

Exploring Alternatives: Efficiency at Its Finest
