Hi,
I feel your opinion is wrong. Job sites will help a lot. If you post the requirement you may not get good profiles but if you have some time and if you can source the resume then you will get excellent profiles

Hi Friends,
I am running a small software development company and use job boards regularly for finding right candidates to hire.
But my experience with job sites like Naukri, Monster has'nt been very positive. A single job post fetches upto 100-150 responses and most of them are unqualified.
Is it only me or has this been the experience of others also.
As we are a small company, we do not have a seperate HR department... so sorting through resumes really becomes a headache....
I would like to ask the community members about their opinion on Job Sites, do they work for you? It does'nt work for me atleast

I think your openion is not ok. You recieved good response. There are several way getting correct resumes.
And the main issue is to sort out and shortlisting the candidates. You have to spend the time.
I have experiences for the same. Instead of giving advertisements in new papers, the better way is serching through such sites.

Hi
Thanks for the reponses.
Jobsites do get the responses but Quality-to-Quantity ratio is very low. I got only 10-15 good resumes out of 149.
For the company of our size, a much better scenario would be to get around 25-30 good quality resumes only.
But I still dont know how to do that , almost all job sites give high quantity but low quality.
Also with job sites one cannot target passive candidates, Any opinions on how to target passive candidates?

Hi Ankit,
Job sites work. Almost all professionals are now on them. The trick then is to set your requirements accurately.
I feel you are not getting the right response because you havent categorised your needs correctly.
If the requirement is specific, you need to put it exactly as it is.
Hope this helps.

Hi Shilpa,
I am not saying that job sites dont work. Its just that they are not very efficient.
Infact I find forums like these could be much more useful for hiring candidates.
If our company has a requirement of HR professional, posting on this forum will fetch much better responses as compared to posting on job sites.
I guess from now onwards I will start posting job vacancies in niche forums like these, because niche forums can provide targeting which a generic job site does not provide.
What do other members here think about it???

Hi Ankit
Basically sourcing of applications is what you are talking about. It is almost equivalent to sourcing customers. In sales and marketing, you have enquiries and what is the final hit rate? It depends on so many factors.
1. Your companys brand image
2..Reach of the advertisement
3. Job Profile
4. Your Pay structure
5. Availability of the man power
I have released advertisements worth 10 lakhs, the advertisement was rated as one of the best, but I received just five applications!!! And I did not select any one. When we introspected later, we realised that we were trying to over sell the job.
My advice to you would be to go through some Placement Agencies who knows the trick. It is worth spending.
