JobPage – Find the Best Candidate for the Gig

JobPage is a tool that businesses can use to recruit job applicants and manage potential candidates for the positions they’re trying to fill. Businesses that use JobPage can take advantage of many of the same tools that professional agencies use when recruiting and managing new talent, without spending a fortune during the process.

Whether you’re looking for a new executive assistant or a new head of development, you’d be wise to check out JobPage for help getting started on the hunt. Select a plan based on the size of your company and the JobPage features you need access to, and you can get started recruiting new talent within just one minute of creating an account. Start building a new ‘job page’ by describing the position you’re looking to fill and selecting the skills that all successful applicants must have, keeping in mind the helpful tips that JobPage provides when typing up the job description. Once your new job page has been created, you’ll want to promote it using all the most popular free IT job boards out there right now. With JobPage, you can post the position on multiple online boards at once – choosing between free and paid boards – while also sharing information about the opening on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and via email.

Visit your analytics page to see how many people are viewing your job posting and how many of the people who saw the posting are actually applying for the gig. JobPage focuses on finding candidates for technical and marketing roles, so your search will be targeted and candidates are more likely to be qualified for the roles you’re trying to fill. You can communicate with candidates who have applied for the position from within the JobPage system – which helps keep things organized and in one place – and track of which applicants have been shortlisted with the help of the application’s helpful ranking features.
