One hiring assistant for applications from your job posts.
Posting on several job boards brings more applicants and more mess. Here's how to use one front door, and let one hiring assistant screen it all.
Your hiring assistant: $99 per open position. No monthly fee.
You need a sales assistant, so you post everywhere: two job boards, your website, and a Facebook group. Now applications arrive in four places. One board has its own inbox. The other emails you. Your website form goes to your partner's email. The same person applies twice. Nobody has the full picture, and the good applicants wait.
Posting in more places brings more people. It also multiplies the mess.
The four ways people apply
- Inside the job board. Fast for the applicant. The CVs stay in that board's account, and you have to log in to see them.
- By email. Good for people who like attaching a CV. Easy to lose in a busy inbox.
- Through a link. One apply page you can use in every post. The easiest to keep in order.
- By message or chat. Quick, but almost impossible to compare people fairly.
The more of these you mix, the harder it is to keep track. The answer is one front door.
Use one front door for every post
- Same apply link in every post. Wherever people find the job, they apply in the same place.
- Same job title and must-haves everywhere. If the posts differ, you'll get different kinds of applicants and confuse yourself.
- Add an email option. Some people will always want to send a CV. Give them one address, not your personal one.
Find out which board works
Ask every applicant where they saw the job, or use a different link for each board if you can. After one hire, you'll know which board brought the people you shortlisted. Next time, spend your money there.
One assistant for every post
Now picture a hiring assistant at that front door. Every application, from every board, goes to the same person. They check each one against your must-haves, follow up, send the polite no's, and hand you one shortlist. It doesn't matter if you posted in one place or six.
That's what you get with BKKStaff. You get one hiring link and one apply-by-email address for the job. You put them in every post. Your assistant screens everything that comes in, treats people who applied twice as one applicant, and builds your interview shortlist.
There's no direct connection to any job board. If a board lets you add a link or an email address, it works. It costs $99 USD for one open position for 30 days. See pricing.
Common questions
Do you post the job on the boards for me?
No. You choose the boards and post the job. Your assistant handles the applications.
What if someone applies from two boards?
Your assistant treats them as one applicant for the job.
Is this applicant tracking software?
No. Tracking software organizes applications so you can read them. A hiring assistant reads them for you. And there's no monthly plan.
