Tips & Tricks Find Employees On Craigslist
Whether you're in Human Resources, hiring for your own business, or are a recruiter, Craigslist provides a steady stream of quality candidates. Marius Olsen works as a recruiter for Sedona Group, a national staffing firm. Sedona Group specializes in matching clients with the right positions while finding suitable employees for employers. Olsen began posting job openings on Craigslist in 2005, where she's found more success in terms of the number of people who respond to ads than other online job sites. So much that the company posts up to three openings a week!
TIPS AND TRICKS: Complementary Product Placement Utilize other unrelated, but marketable categories on Craigslist to advertise your services. For example, if you offer a resume writing service, check out the discussion forums, particularly jobs and writers, or even community classes where you could serve as a guest speaker or expert on a topic.

Unlike other job search sites like Monster and Careerbuilder.com, Craigslist is a no frills goldmine of potential candidates and continuous feedback. An article in theWall Street Journal Online documented the successes found when hiring on Craigslist. For any business, the hiring process is dependent on the industry, skills required, and location.
The article indicated the need to match employee traits with that of the business. For example, a position opening for a freelance business writer may benefit from a candidate with practical business experience versus a career in poetry.
Employers can perform searches in the `Services' category, or sift through the resume bank using key words and phrases.
