Want to attract job applicants without wasting a lot of time, money and effort?

There is no shortage of job applicants out there these days.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that you can waste a lot of time and effort on the answering responses to your ads on the phone trying to weed out poor candidates.  Then, when applicants arrive for the interview and fill out their applications, you still wind up wasting time with unqualifed applicants.  This situation is particularly problematic due to the large number of people looking for work these days. 

About a year ago, we set up a new Web site to help you attract workers while taking 90% of the effort and expense out of the recruiting process. The National Home Cleaning Service Employment Center is a great resource that you may not be taking advantage of and is probably worth your consideration.  Be sure to check it out through the above link.

Here's how this Web site can help you:

• It provides an overview of what the work entails, along with a job description, so the applicant is fully aware of what he or she will be expected to do;
• Job seekers can fill out your application form right online, and it is sent directly to the email box of the person in your business who looks after recruiting employees;
• Unless you decline the option, there will be a link to a map on the top of the application form so that applicants can (a) print out directions to your office and (b) determine the distance from their home to your office, which eliminates people who live too far away to make the job practical;
• If you wish, the application can be translated into a selection of other languagues at the click of a button;
• The site works for you 24 X 7 and you even receive applications in your inbox while you are sleeping;
• You review incoming applications at YOUR leisure and call back only those you're interested in interviewing in person, which means no sitting around the office taking phone calls from job seekers and less time and effort spent on the recruiting process.

How well does it work?  Well, Ken Steele, one of our House Cleaning Biz 101 customers who subscribes to this program had 370 people go to his online application in September alone.  That's 370 phone calls he did not have to deal with.  Of course, he did not get 370 applications (and I am sure he didn't want that many) because (1) many visitors disqualified themselves for whatever reason or (2) they chose not to answer all the questions on the application, in which case the system will not allow it to be submitted.

To direct prospective applicants to his application, he runs the following FREE help wanted ad on Craig's List on a continuous basis.  So be sure to look around the site to see if it could be a benefit to your recruiting efforts, too.  It gets its share of visitors every day, but if you really want to make it work for you, drive traffic to it like Ken is doing.
