Job board resellers have emerged in recent years and have really disrupted the candidate and job search industry. For the past 20 years we have come to know companies like Monster, Reed, and Jobserve and many other job posting site brands that are either specific to industries (niche job boards) or general jobs which cater for every requirement.

However, there has been a real emergence of job board resellers who offer a service to rival the traditional job boards.

When choosing your job board partner what are the reasons you should use a traditional job board over one of the new players in this market?

What Is A Job Board?

A job board is a website that lists job vacancies. If you are a candidate searching for job opportunities, you will enjoy a feature-rich job search experience that allows you to filter by role, experience level, contract type, salary, etc. In other words, job seekers have access to a search engine dedicated to job listings.

If you are a recruiter, you will find free job boards and some that are paid for. All job board providers will help you manage the recruitment process. They can also help with things like CV writing and interview tips.

What Is A Job Board Reseller?

A job board reseller acts like a media buyer where they buy large volumes of job ads with specific job boards. Due to their buying power, they get huge discounts which enable them to pass on the discount to the advertiser, while distributing job listings across multiple job boards to maximise their audience and attract more job seekers.

The Importance Of Resellers

Resellers play a crucial role by getting your ad and job title more impressions from a relevant audience, which then converts into higher-quality applicants. Ads can appear on niche job boards and specialist job boards, which is incredibly important when considering relevance and targeting candidates with industry specific skills or qualifications.

With Hiring People, you can post your job advert across multiple job boards for a flat fee. In one process, you can post jobs and reach candidates visiting any of a hundred or more online job boards. Achieving this level of exposure would take days of form filling on each general and niche job board, which simply isn’t an effective use of your time when you need to get an active job post out there.

The latest technology and software (applicant tracking system) works to help you manage the process. From automated replies to candidate filtering and creating a talent pool database, you have a greater level of control over your job openings.
