I felt it necessary to reply. I did not mention anything about my
company being woman owned. Someone else went to the website, which I
had no part in designing, on their own to find this out.
It was me who went to the website. It would be the first thing I do for
any company I would decide to work with. I hope you don't think I have
anything against you or your company in particular because I don't.
Even if I was looking for a job, I would not send your company a resume
based on the web site. If you're hiring tech types, they're going to
expect that your web site to be "complete", not fancy, just "complete".
I expect a bricks and mortar address or a good reason you don't have
one. I don't mind if you're recruiting for Boston but you're located in
San Diego but I need to know where you are and what you do before I engage.
If you're looking for the "best", then expect that they are smart and
provide the appearance that they're going to be looked after once they
engage.
All these things are reasons I would probably pass on your company.
As for a good place to post, I use craigslist. The other thing that is
usually very successful is the current employees personal contacts.
BTW - get the hiring manager to put together 3 questions for candidates
to answer as part of the application process. Not only do you weed out
the chaff, the good candidates know that and usually entices them to
apply. Just make it so that the candidate does not have to spend too
much time working it out (10 mins max).
... The position
for which I mentioned is not even with us. Correct, I am a recruiter
trying to find innovative ways to find qualified candiates for a
position I have available. I figured I would try and find the best. I
asked if it was OK to do this and have received several responses that
it is not. I thought I have removed my post.
Good luck.
