Jobster - Loaded with Options

Jobster is a site designed to connect employers with job seekers. Per their website - they are a “leading innovator in online recruitment technology”. Jobster gives employers many options when using their site - such as posting jobs, searching for candidates, building a talent network, managing email campaigns‚ and promoting their brand.

As with most career websites, their are free and pay plans to choose from. Jobster has a variety of different packages designed to meet most recruiting needs. Jobster has partnerships in place with companies such as‚ Facebook and ZoomInfo to provide a wealth of contacts and additional sourcing data found outside of the Jobster network. Posting jobs gives you the option to pay $25 up front and receive unlimited applicants, or pay nothing upfront, and pay $5 only when a job seeker‚ applies to your posting. There are other ad options and upgrades, such as sending a feed of all your company jobs to be included in their search engine.

The free option lets you create a user profile and search across their network by key words and locations. Each profile can be filled with work history, resumes, personal information, videos‚ and tags.

Here is an example search. I want to find people with sales experience located in Miami, Florida. Please note the arrows in the screenshot. Each profile has what Jobster calls “superstar tags” which are key words a user picks out to best describe themselves. There are ways to refine your search on the right hand side, such as filtering profiles to find only those who are “job hunting”.

An example of a profile I clicked on is here. Alot of profiles have resumes attached to them, and there are ways to reach out to each user by “leaving a note”.‚ Users can get set-up in their system for notifications on notes, candidates, profiles, you name it.

    I was just wondering what your thoughts were on Jobster and whether or not you feel this is a viable option for recruiters?

    Thanks!

    Jobster definetely is an option for recruiters and internet sourcers to take advantage of. The free option for sure - the ability to sign up for a profile on their site for one, and search across other profiles based on key words (tags for their site). You can reach out to others on the site too by sending “notes”. I will do a video tutorial on the site in the next week or two to give a good demonstration of the site in use. Stay tuned…

    I run a small staffing firm specializing in IT and purchased the Jobter System. It’s very powerful and a great vehicle to identify passive candidates.
