Hiring in the Internet Age

Views 5 Views    Comments 0 Comments    Share Share    Posted 09-08-2008  
We just completed a new hire at our firm, and we haven`t even met the new employee yet.

There`s a lot of press out there about the dangers of the internet as it relates to employees. "What if your employer finds your MySpace page?" But what about the employer side? As it turns out, using new internet tools for hiring employees can be amazingly productive. We just completed a new hire at our firm - and we haven`t even met the candidate in person. We`ll shake hands for the first time on his first day. Here`s how the internet helped us find the perfect fit in a new employee:

The potential employee pool is now international. As a small business owner, it`s a great feeling to get a resume from Iran. We`re instantly international. By placing an ad online, you`ll increased your potential market a thousand fold. In the old days, the local classifieds were your only tool. Maybe you`d spring for a more expensive ad in a bigger paper, like the New York Times. With ads online, you`re reaching a worldwide audience in one fell swoop.
