Indeed no longer posts jobs from free sites

It used to be that Indeed would scour the internet for all job postings. Wheter the site was a pay for a posting site like CareerBuilder, a company website, or a free posting site like Craigslist or Ebay Classifieds - the job posting would appear on the results of the Indeed job search engine result. Not any more. They no longer show results from free posting sites. So if your posting appears on Craigslist, ebay classifieds, or other free sites, it will no longer appear on Indeed.

This means, the recruiting strategy of posting on a free site and then have it appear on Craigslist will not work anymore.

 

ODesk

I just discovered a website called ODesk.com. It is a place for employers to post jobs that are online or remote based, and it is a place for remote workers to find online or remote jobs.

So a virtual recruiting company can post their virtual recruiting or other virtual jobs on oDesk for free. Applicants can apply for free. Of course, ODesk charges of the company hires a worker.

I have not tested it yet, but it appears to be in line with the virtual recruiting arena.

Edit-Grid

I discovered this new online website that allows organizations to share spreadsheets and other things online to multiple users in real time. It looks like an advanced version of googledocs. I am in the process of testing it, but my first impression is that it looks really good.

TimeTrade- Online Appointment Setting

I discovered this new website called TimeTrade: http://www.timetrade.com/.

I have not tested it yet and it costs only $49/year for the lowest version. But it may be a great way to do automated and quick appontment setting.

 

FreeScreenSharing.com

FreeScreenSharing.com as the name implies is a free screen sharing sight. I have not tested it yet, but it it may be a good training tool to share remote users your computer screen.

Resumebucket.com

I discovered this new website called ResumeBucket.com. It allows job seekers to post their resume and it allows employers to post jobs for free. I have not tested it fully yet, but my first impression is that it looks worth exploring further.

Bounty Jobs

It is almost impossible for a new recruiter to get into Bounty Jobs anymore. The que is so long because everyone wants to get into it that if you have not gotten into it yet, it is too late.

RecruitHire is a bust

After starting out with great promise, RecruitHire is now a bust. RecruitHire acquired Dayak.com last year. dayak was going great matching recruiters with open job requirements. However, now that Dayak no longer exits and only RecruitHire exists, it does not completely work any more. Or at least work to any kind of usefulness. No one is using it and putting up jobs. Without jobs, there is no purpose of even having the site.

SugarSync- Share your data anywhere from any device

 

I just got introduced to a cool new webtool called SugarSync.

The tagline of the site says:

Access All Your Data.
Anytime. Anywhere.
From Any Device.

SugarSync is easy, secure, and accessible online file sync and backup.

I have not tested it fully. However, the ability for you and your people to access and share data anytime and anywherw is an important ability in this virtual world.

Talent Hook

I just got introduced to TalentHook.com. The site states it is : "software for recruiters promoting efficiency and ease of use for quality sourcing."

I'm going to try it out. It in essence scours the internet for potential candidates for your open positions.
